HARD EARNED VICTORY

Every race you win..is hard earned..whether on a running track or in the Arena of Life...so when I won the Athletics New South Wales Premiership over 35yrs 100m on the weekend it was a Sweet..Sweet Victory..It was actually my first Race of the Season...not particularly fast yet technically it was probably the best race I've run since I was 22 years old which is significant at the race was a dead heat for first...The chap who was given the same time as me was 20 years younger than me!..Thats right...Twenty Years !

I would like you to put that into some kind of perspective...just think about it...two decades of youthfulness against a 62 year old...its astronomical!

How can I do it...What does it take to develop the body to a point where it is capable of defeating someone who is so much younger..The answer is in a way quite simple...its called hard..excrutiating work...In particular the last couple of weeks where I have been recieving flexibility stretching work with Wayne Luckey..my Coach...Oh Boy...what a Feeling...my body being wrenched from its joints...muscles stretching...tendons protesting...mind trying to relax so the process can do what its meant to do....

Anyhow the process is working..I am becoming more technically proficient...running better...stronger..so hopefully...the results will prove positive.

Trusting you will take good care of yourselves...

SONIC BOOMER

Well the day has come and gone...It was indeed an event of astronomical proportions...Running against a jet fighter plane capable of travelling at over 800 kph.!...Well I made it...It was a truely amazing experience...The Media were there in force...Television Cameras from Channels 7,9 and 10 and the United States..The Press as well...to say nothing of the dozens on friends and onlookers who turned up on the beautiful day to experience the event with me.

There were the usual Press and Media interviews and Radio Interviews before the race at the Air Action base in the beautiful Hunter Valley...it is truely a beautiful and serene treasure...well worth a look and time to explore...and of course should you want the opportunity to fly in a Jet Fighter Plane just like Tom Cruise in Top Gun...then you can very shortly go to the Air Action link on our www.thejohnwall.com site to explore the wonderful experience of flying by the seat of your pants!

I must admit I wasn't totally ready for the unbelievable sound of the jet engines so close to me when I was sitting in the Starting Blocks ready for the gun to go off to signal the start of the race...it was AWSOME!

I had chosen 100 meters as the distance for the race because its the Olympic distance...however I expected the Jet to overtake me before the end ....and it did..but...but...I did beat the Jet over 60 Meters...!! which folks is an astronomical feat...by seventy meters the jet was travelling at 200 kph...and of course it makes my last 30 meters look really slow...actually I'm going really fast....WoW...what an unbelievable experience...It was great...AND...my Son Gabriel was in the Fighter Jet filming for Channel Seven with an On-board camera...He is also a Pilot. You can actually see Gabriels Gun Camera footage on www.thejohnwall.com it will give you a little idea of just what it was like...

Why did I do this...essentially to show that nothing is impossible...don't let things hold you down...give your dreams a go....However it was also as a personal tribute to the life of my Mother Joyce who passed away in August...She was always a great and loving supporter of mine and loved to see the Medals I used to bring back to her after competitions...She would have loved to have watched...maybe she was...

Until my next blog...Be kind to each other...John

OLD AGE..SHOULD WE EMBRACE IT?

I have been asked many times over the last few years why I just can't let go of my Youth....Are you not happy to grow old gracefully?...Why can't you just grow old and forget about this Youth thing?

Quite simply the answer is NO...I am not prepared to grow old gracefully...I'm going to go down fighting and screaming and kicking...because Old to me is so often synonymous with illness..creaking bones...ageing skin...lack of energy...( yes even sexual energy )...so I don't want to go there...don't want to live there....don't want to be a part of the Old generation....HOWEVER...

I DO WANT TO BE A VITAL PART OF THE " AGE REVOLUTION "....ITS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE IN THE LAND OF CLUB REJUVIN8...WERE BREAKING ALL THE RULES HERE...WALKING THE HIGH GROUND...CLIMBING MOUNTAINS...LOVING...EXERCISING...STRENGTHENING....REVITALISING...BECOMING THE NEW YOUTH....

TODAY THE MEDIA REFER TO THE OVER 60s AS THE NEW 40s AND WHY NOT...WE ARE SIMPLY LIVING A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR AS LONG AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE...ENJOYING...REJOICING IN THE LIFE OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE...RECOGNISING THE POTENTIAL OF OUR BODIES TO REGENERATE AND REJUVIN8...HOW CAN WE CELEBRATE THIS NEW YOUTH ?...HOW CAN WE DO IT WITHOUT FEELING LIKE WE'RE SELLING OUT WHERE OUR AGE TELLS US WE SHOULD BE ?..WELL ITS SIMPLE...JUST START TO WANT TO BE A MORE VITAL ...HAPPY ...AND PRODUCTIVE HUMAN BEING...BY BEING!

I FOR MY PART AM TRYING TO LIVE THAT CREDO...I DO THIS PRIMARILY TO OFFER YOU THE BENEFITS OF MY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT....MY BODY IS THE TESTBED OF THE BABY BOOMER GENERATION...I PUSH MYSELF TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMITS OF PHYSICAL ENDURANCE...I MONITOR MY NUTRITIONAL INTAKE...I WORK EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND WAYS TO BRING MY BODY AND MIND TO A STATE OF PERFECTION...OR ...AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO IT...YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS.

THERE ARE 22 DAYS LEFT BEFORE I BECOME..."SONICBOOMER"...WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?....IN 22 DAYS...YOU WILL KNOW....STAY TUNED...BE BRILLIANT...AND LOVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW..

UNTIL MY NEXT BLOG....John

HARD IN THE WEIGHT ROOM

Last season I would go to the Gym once or twice a week...I did not or was unable to use the appropriate protein powder to enhance my training abilities and muscle restoration.( protein under severe training regimen is essential )..Last season I came second in the National Championships in both the 60 meters and 100 meters...I was below par...I had lost ten kilograms from the previous season and was underpowered...kind of like putting leaded fuel in the latest ferrari...nothing seemed to work as it should...

This year its a little different...My good sponsor the 4 in 1 Family Health & Fitness group have worked with me to really build my strength profile...Working with a team like 4 in 1 has really made a difference...instead of just putting in one day a week..maybe two..I am now training 3 days a week and really pumping it....I've amped up the power and religiously hit the Max Gainer Protein & Carbohydrate blend by Balance....the result is basically a Rejuvin8ted Me!!! AND WAIT...THERES MORE....

My Track training schedule is starting to prove that what goes down in the Gym...comes down on the track...Working with my Track Coaches Wayne Luckey and Larry Spencer..they are developing a programme that will hopefully see me ( barring injury ) on the winners podium more often than not.

What are my Goals this Season...Well...this is the last season before the World Masters Games next year and my primary Goal this year is to break THE WORLD RECORD. In order to do this every single aspect of my race model must be perfect...the track conditions must be perfect...the weather must be warm and the following wind..kind to me. IF...and its a big IF...then I stand a good chance of breaking the World Record set by Britisher Ron Philips in 1991. That record of 11.70 seconds for the 100 meters still stands.
I would dearly love to bring that record back to Australia.

So in closing...keep believing...be brave...take risks...eat well...and Love someone....believe me I think its the one ingredient I was lacking last year...This year I am totally in Love..with Annette Evans...and I am truely blessed by this experience..If I've just let the World know...then the World is a better place for knowing.

Until I write again...Love and keep Healthy...remember at Rejuvin8 " We don't care what shape you are....We just care what shape your'e in.."

WE CAN IN FACT DO SOMETHING RELATIVELY SIMPLE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE OUR BODIES CAN WEATHER THE PROVERBIAL STORM AND HOPEFULLY SURVIVE A FEW YEARS MORE IN RELATIVELY GOOD HEALTH...ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS OF COURSE GOING TO A FAMILY HEALTH CENTER OR GYM....THE OLD CONCEPT OR IMAGE OF GYMS IS A SWEATY PROPOSITION THAT TENDS TO PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF AND RIGHTLY SO....TODAYS GYMS HOWEVER AND IN PARTICULAR 4 IN 1 AT THE DIGGERS AT THE ENTRANCE IS WHAT ALL GYMS SHOULD ASPIRE TO...THEY ARE NOW HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND TECHNICAL AND ABOVE ALL ELSE NICE PLACES TO BE WERE YOU MEET EQUALLY NICE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE GREAT STAFF WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE TO HELP AND ADVISE...
