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.

Coffee Run...



Man oh man tonight was an absolute coffee run... That is, it was a grind the whole way.
Felt like shit and the subconscious was not much help as I had to fight the urge to turn back the whole way. What annoyed me the most was not the fact that I felt like I was moving at 8m30s per mile but that it was actually a good run time wise.
The small hill felt like a mountain, the flat was longer than normal and the heat was oppressive.
5miles in 35m40sec so I was still running just over 7 minute miles...
I am continuing to run for the reminder of this month and then I will start to add a bit more structure to my training next month as well as move up the mileage again... Might try and run from Helena this Sunday morning instead of Jacoby just for something different.
