About Me

My photo
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.

2015 and we start again

Today's heat made running anything but pleasant. For me it was the 5th run for the year, something that actually made me feel pretty good despite moving at a speed that would make stationary vehicle look fast.

Last year I was on a roll until November, at which point a stomch issue forced me off the road for five days and threw a spanner in the works in terms of getting through a whole year without break. Having said that the year was still a huge success in terms of covering more ks than I have for a long time, being able to coach a great group and Guildford and still being able to guide young Caulfield and Doigy (every now and then), both these young guys remind me of what passion used to look like.

Further to this, the opportunity to commentate live to air , the Perth City to Surf , alongside Glenn was possible a commeatry highlight. Working in the studio at 9 was both fun, intereating and an eye opener and I thank Andrew Spittle for the opportunity to do it.

Anyway lets see what the year has to offer for the Wombat and in the meantime

Barrel on wombats...
