Well, it has been a while but all good things come to those who wait and wait I feel I have. The wombat has been out on the pavement and trails again and things are slowly and I do mean very slowly coming back to where they should be. The pain has gone and everything seems good. This only frustrates me more because I still can't place a finger on what I actually did. This makes it hard to avoid doing it again.
The winter is upon us and the cold mornings and cold evening mean I am rugging up. As a young wombat this never really bothered me and shorts and singlets with an occasional T-shirt were standard issue. As I get older I seem to have more layers on as I head out the door. Still its just great to be out doors again and covering the ground.
See you all out there.
Barrel on wombats...
About Me
- The Wombat Warrior
- The older I get the better I was... but after many years of idle burrowing the candle of desire is still burning and I have come to realise that running is as much a part of me as my heart and lungs... In Christmas 2008 I was 82kg and was not running a step..This is my journey , the journey of the wombat...Dogged...determined...persistent...and maybe a little grumpy.. but like the wombat my journey is territorial, its about running and I am going to work to protect it...Come along for the ride and see if I can become the wombat warrior. 2009 was a mixed bag for the wombat's journey.A top ten placing in both the Bridges and the City Surf brought a small sense of achievement but also a degree of frustration.... I think I can do better and better I will in 2010. A better run in the Busso Half iron man in support of TV in his swim and bike ride and that was about the extent of my racing. Lets see what happens in 2010 as "My journey Continues". Now in 2011 the wombat will continue his journey, but not alone the wombat has a youngling who knows how to dig. 2015 and its a new beginning , time goes on and the journey to the 2016 World Masters is under way.

Fantastic that you are back out there! As a runner in my forties I love that you are still so passionate about what makes you who you are. A runner. Age is a number and no reason to stop being the best you can. That's my mantra anyway. Management and listeniing to your body. You are proof that it works. The challenge may be greater, and so it should be. I follow inspired. Hope you stay injury free.
