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.
Ive even set up my own Blog site,
'Alfs Diarys'

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