How I met Alf
I first became aware of
Alf at age of 8 yrs old , in the comics my father would bring home from
work every friday night. They were all old back issues of
Victor/Wizard/ Valiant etc given to him by work mates. I especially
enjoyed reading about his exploits, taking on the toff's from local
schools ....during the 70s I seem to remember he gave out weekly tips
and advice on running in the comic at the time I was competing as a
schoolboy in athletics, mainly cross country races .
Later on when left school I joined a club and started running, reaching
international level. Here I am 25yrs later still competing as
vet45. I've even set up my own Blog site, 'Alfs
Diarys'

A kind of
dedication ter Alf but also daily record of my running too .
