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.

Winter Mileage

Remember distance running is a time aged process. It does not happen over night and more often than not it is what you were doing two years ago in training that results in the benefits that you get from racing well now.

As we get older we tend to try and cram things too fast. Hold back and just use common sense and over time and mileage, your results will improve as you get stronger and smarted. It takes time to learn your body. Running is not just a physical activity. It is also a mental one.

Plan your journey and start now.

Barrel on wombats...

  1. If you check on a cake while its still baking too early too often, not only will we not get the result we are chasing by looking for it too early, but the good result we could have got if we waited long enough is compromised, and reduced. Heard an olympian say something like that to one of the better runners in Perth, similiar thought maybe... Its hard to be patient when it feels like you are just spinning the wheels a bit.
