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.

The runs continue as does the heat. Jacoby Park is very dry out the back trails and getting a little snakey. Not sure who is more frightened, me or them.

The climbs are not getting any easier but at least I am in control of my pace at the moment. I know most of the group do their runs from Helena however over the last few months I have made this my stomping grounds in an effort to revitalise the compeitive instincts. Mrs Wombat thinks I should just race regardless but for once I am being a little reserved.

Great to hear that Raf has headed for the hills and joined the Falls Creek crowd for Christmas. I am sure that this will enable him, or at the very least provide a fantastic foundation on which to kick start the year. Go RADAR.

Remember to keep the water up on the runs, got hot out the back today and unlike Helena there are no taps outback of Jacoby Park.

Barrel on wombats...
