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.

It's Raining

I ran today....ouch!!!!

While the mind was willing the body was weak. This sport is not a place for the soft of mind. I am constantly telling those who I coach, help or guide , to remember that distance running is about time and patience. It seems however, that once I lace up these pearls of wisdom that I continually bestow on others , do not apply to me. I think I need to listen more than speak.

Perth had a great deal of rain, I know this is a god send for us in terms of water levels but if its the day that you step out the door for the first time in a long time its quite simply A TEST OF MY INTESTINAL FORTITUDE.......
