The big news of the weekend is that we won our SAL Division 2 meeting on our Finsbury Park home base - and it was a wonderfully well-organised event, thanks to Jonathan Litchfield and his team.

An absolutely bumper set of results this week as Heathsiders showed no signs of winding down for their beach holidays just yet, instead turning out far and wide to keep me busy, including pitching up mob-handed at the FASTFriday, tackling some duathlon action, forging on with an ongoing 10-mile challenge, competing in a frankly hideous – sorry, gruelling – sounding ultra-steeplechase event and the usual smattering of runs at the regular 5 and 10k races around London.

What a day it was! We set out last Saturday morning bright and early to make our way by coach to Norwich for our third SAL match.

An overdue report with two weeks of races to include going all the way back to May 22 when an intrepid bunch of our veterans made their way to Stevenage to run, jump and throw in the Southern Veterans League, with first places for Ed Garrett, Tony Killilea, Adrian Essex, Jessica Vinluan and our men’s 4 x 400 meter relay team.
Read MoreProbably the race that is closest to being ‘ours’ these days, Heathside turned out in numbers once again to run, marshal and support on a glorious Sunday morning around Crouch End and Alexandra Palace. I had intended to join the more than 1100 runners, but an ill timed IKEA delivery unfortunately put paid to that so my morning workout was restricted to flat pack assembly and swearing (but probably more sweating than the sub-40 speedsters).

We walked onto the Havering AC track on Sunday 21 May with the knowledge that we were in first position in the league; the two team members on crutches only added to the intimidation we were emitting. However, we were also aware that we would be up against some pretty tough competition in this match.
