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 Road is Long...

Running is not an easy sport or past time. Today's run was spent nursing a tight left calf, that felt like it would explode on me at any moment. Fortunately I managed to nurse it home and, in return, it got me home.


It has once again brought home to me the fact that it is important to do the little things, the things that I find mundane, to ensure that I can continue to put one foot in front of the other in rapid succession. I have started to stretch a little more after my runs and a little during my runs. I find if I'm standing still I will catch myself doing calf raises to strengthen, what is slowly becoming a weakness. Its the little things that make the biggest difference , because when you combine a lot of little things you get one big thing... the ability to perform.
