Another week of base work in the solitude of the hills, obviously the City to Surf is getting closer because there were not as many runners out on the trails this Sunday.... Good luck to first time marathoners and all the best to TRC crew.
Patience is something fishermen need to get the fish, oddly enough it is also something that is an essential element of a distance runners make up.... without you are destined to injury and spasmodic performances. You need to be prepared to train day in day out as you work towards your goal. You need to be prepared to take the good days with the bad days and once you have done all this, paid your dues and done your time, then and only then will you reap the rewards....... Patience grasshopper you are destined for great things..
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.
