14 Heathsiders headed north to St Albans for the Fred Hughes 10 miles on Sunday 19th.  It was crisp and cold, but good for running apart from some frosty sections, especially on the first lap.  Sara Black won her category (Women 45) and was the 8th woman overall in I hour 5mins 50.  Natan Doran was the first Heathsider home, followed by Dominic Jones.  A bit lower down the field, Sif Sumarlidadottir and Filipe Cardoso ran together and pushed each other on for much of the way, with Sif 4th in the W45 category.  Caroline White was second in the W55 category.  Next stop on the way to the Rob Jackson Trophy: the Watford Half on 2 February."
