BEAUTIFUL HERVEY BAY

Well I told you in my last blog that I was Keynote Address Speaker at the MODS Conference and Expo in the Beautiful Hervey Bay in Queensland...thats the coast just off Fraser Island...MODS stands for Modified Sports for Seniors.

I was invited to speak there along with Shane Gould...the remarkable Australian Swimmer who took four Gold Medals at the Olympics...Shane was amazing...She is a Beautiful Human Being with a Nature to Match...and committed to sharing her journey which she did on the second day....I had the honour to have dinner with her and members of the Hervey Bay Council and Organizing Committee on the Friday evening...I was so excited to be sitting next to her and being able to share her amazing energy and love of life..

Denise...Helen...Greg..James...and the whole team were sooooo professional and caring. They made my stay there most enjoyable...

Those who came to be a part of the Expo and to listen to me and Shane were inspirational in themselves...They were attentive and seemed to enjoy the whole process participating in the numerous events laid on...I myself also had a go at Pole Walking...which is a bit like Nordic Skiing...you can do it on the beach..grass or even the pavement...and boy did I feel muscles that I never knew I had...

All in all it was exciting and fun...I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been there and I hope that if they put it on again next year that the Committee may think to invite me again...

On the news front....my knee is a little better and hopefully will sustain me for the rest of the season..dont forget to check out my website www.thejohnwall.com as our February Ezine is now out...and Subscription is ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Looking forward to seeing you soon...

Brilliance...John

COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS RESULTS

Well the New South Wales Country Championships have come and gone...Yes I was fortunate enough to win both the 100 and 200m for the second year in a row.....Times were not brilliant as there was a headwind of more than three meters per second....thats kind of like running into a brick wall....but...its the same for everyone in the Race.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on my team especially Larry Spencer and Wayne Luckey my Track Coaches for getting me there...without them of course I would not...could not have won....and the journey is not yet over...even though I now have a knee injury to my right knee...the prognosis is not good with an operation in the wings...but not till after the State and National Championships in March....I know..I know....When a Horse has a knee problem ....they Shoot It...

However...I am hopeful that I will be able to perform at the State in good shape...My masseur will be working to ensure I get there in the best shape possible.

I'm off to Queensland on the 22nd for a couple of days to Keynote address the MODS conference on health and ageing....I'm really looking forward to that..

Also I'm really excited about my website and our New Ezine and you can subscribe and access it on www.thejohnwall.com which will enable you to see what I'm talking about....enjoy and look forward to your comments...

Have a Brilliant Day...John
