But it’s comin, by gum. We can feel it come. You can feel it in your heart. You can see it in the ground. You can see it in the trees. You can smell it in the breeze. Look around! Look around! Look around! June is bustin’ out all over. Swaltered. A late result off…

Tomorrow Lee O’Boyle takes to the big stage, representing Ireland in the 26km Trail de Guerlédan in Brittany. Lee’s selection to represent Ireland is a momentous occasion. His 6-year journey to this point has been incredible to say the least. Lee’s post on social media sums up what it means to him. “Without the vest…
My head is still sore. My stomach has not settled and I need to sleep. It’s amazing the effect one of Alex’s speeches can have on a person. But despite his oratorical efforts, last night’s Harriers Gala was definitely an unqualified success. Clare’s story, awards for the Skillens, fond memories of dringo, Alex’s dodgy raffle…
The Harriers are an inquisitive bunch, always looking for something new to keep that spark in their running relationship. So this week they invented the parkrun ultra. A new event for people who think that running just over 3 miles on a Saturday with a hangover is just not enough. Taking on the parkruns this…
Not sure what happened but I clear off for 2 weeks and now the bailiffs are here trying to lift my Vidiprinter (good luck with that!). So, whilst I finish barricading the doors to Cavillator Towers, you can read the results. Taking on the parkruns this week: Valley parkrun: David Graham 19:23 and 2nd finisher,…
So myself and the Cavillator had a little break away and we’ve returned to find that we need to take on a 3rd job to cover the bills for a slight overspend in London expenses, lets just say it was less painful running the marathon. What a busy week the Harriers have had, London is…
With the Cavillator and Work Experience boy away on a team building weekend retreat. I was drafted in, to write and release the report. I turned up at the Cavillator’s office…… It looked like something from 1970s film. Old manual typewriters, note pads, pens and vidiprinter (what on earth even is that….) I was told…
