Big Month

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 31 January 2010 - - - - - - · 0 views

January was supposed to be a quiet month to ease back into regular running. Didn't quite work out that way......

Runs from 17/1/2010 to 31/1/2010

17/1/2010-Lysterfield Lake, 22km, hilly trails. Ave pace 6:23. Great run and alot of fun. Pushed the envelope a bit distance wise and it worked. No pains or anything. Followed up with an 8km...

So Far So Good!

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 16 January 2010 - - - - - - · 3 views

So here we are 1/2 way through the first month of the year. I've decided to do things a little different in my blog and post all my runs at the start of the entry (including any notes I made) with any other stuff I want to say after. So here goes
Jan 1st to 16th

Jan 2nd, Portsea Twilight, 6.7km, 35:15. No real problems-went a little hard and...

Happy New Year!

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 01 January 2010 - - - - - - · 2 views

Firstly, Happy new year to everyone. I hope you all meet your goals and challenges for 2010.

As mentioned in my last entry, Mrs Wombat and I were doing the Oxfam Trailwalker course over 4 weeks. We've finished it and I have to say while some parts are easy, some are the most difficult trail I've been on-and I was walking. I pity and respect the...

Plodding Along.

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 13 December 2009 - - - - - - · 1 views

A couple of little issues since my last entry. Firstly I've hurt my back-and it's actually not a running injury! A little embarrassing but I was standing up off the toilet when I felt something go. It was nearly 20 minutes before I could walk upright after that. My physio says it's a bulged disc. I did all the exercises and took all her...

Things Are Starting To Go My Way

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 20 November 2009 - - - - - - · 0 views

Hopefully this will be shorter than the last entry. I even have a tiny bit of running!

I have cautiously started doing a little running. Not alot-just a couple of trail runs at Churchill Park, but so far no trouble apart from a disturbing lack of fitness. Heat might be a contributor as well. I did about 14km in a run last week and a 10km run...

A New Beginning-again

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 04 November 2009 - - - - - - · 0 views

Well it's been a while-so much has happened and I'm at a crossroads-so time to dust off the old blog and put everything down. Be warned there's not alot about running here.

There have been a few events since my last entry. I did my second ultra (the Tan-53.5km,...

That's it for now-next entry will either be the triumph of Gold Coast or the failure. Stay tuned!
That's how I finished my last entry. Now for the belated sequel!

Gold Coast didn't go exactly to plan. My full report is ...

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly-again

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 01 July 2009 - - - - - - · 1 views

The good:
The week after my last entry was great. I didn't really do alot of running-5km on Sunday and 7.6km (5:30) on Tuesday. I'll get to my long run in a minute. I also did an hour of swimming, 2 pilates sessions and a group personal training session. All good.
Sunday (21st) I went on a lap of the Capital City Trail with Luckyguy. My...

All Is Well

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 14 June 2009 - - - - - - · 0 views

Another good week for me. I'm feeling better as each week passes and as such my enthusiasm for running increases. So does my enthusiasm for blogging-it's not even a week since my last entry!

Thursday I went out for an easy 10km. My program called for intervals but I'm not really ready for dedicated speed training yet. I actually called...

It's All Coming Together

Posted by wombatoutofhell, 10 June 2009 - - - - - - · 2 views

Another good week. The plantar fasciitis no longer bothers me when I run although I am still aware of it. Even when not running it's mostly under control-hopefully it wont be long before it's gone altogether.

Training is going well. Tuesday I ran 10.7km @ 5:16 in my new shoes (New Balance 1223) but without my orthotics just to see how it went. ...
