One for every mile - thanks to the recycling bin

I had to go through the recycling box to find a couple of names for my London Marathon list. Its to be emptied tomorrow but I remembered reading about a couple of people who were running last week but I couldn't remember which paper. And with some other helpful feedback I am up to 26. There are usually about 40 so please help further if you know of anyone else.

Another addiction returned

I added more than 200 photos to my collection at the weekend (from the Greeba Fell Race). Only 13 short of 99,000 now!

I thought that I would face tag them before they became part of the archives although there were quite a few people I didn't know and the results list didn't have the numbers on which made it harder. Some of the people were not even recognised as people at all due to the relatively dark conditions and I had to add them manually.

Once I had started that i decided to do the same with previous Greeba Fell Races and so it went on. I have 1,296 people identified in my photo collection.

After adding a lot more by going through the races, Picassa then makes further suggestions to add photos to existing names and the more you confirm the more it finds. Where did my Sunday afternoon go to?

The worst bit is that I have more than 143,000 people to identify on my photos - and that was more than when I started yesterday as the software trawls through over and over again looking to identify people.

Apart from my wife, Michael George is still number 1 for identification with 550 images.

More action as I write

I've just been extending the coverage of the Greeba Fell Race a little but more importantly tidying up the front page a little for the next round of features. All links to 2011 features have been moved to the features page. This page is a bit like lots of people's garages or attics - every time you put something extra there you realise how much work you have to do to tidy it up. But its out of sight for the time being.

So was my coverage of the Jude's Sports Hall event. I am told it is a wonderful every year and a fitting tribute to Judy Perriam on Western AC who died so young. All the club websites have covered the event from the perspective of their club athletes, so everyone should have known it was on, but there wasn't really any central publicity that I could add. I am sure there will be a real buzz at the NSC.

Greeba rave

I've been setting up my cameras, files and laptops so that I can cover the Greeba Fell Race tomorrow. I say Race even though I accidentally named my video folder Greeba Fell Rave - I don't know what to expect!

Murray has been watching Murray

Not going to get all the things done that I planned this lunchtime as I saw the final part of the Australian Open semi (I won't spoil it for anyone recording it).

Murray watching Michael tonight.

Tired already

I've just updated the "fixtures at a glance" table through to the first week of August and frankly I can't believe how many things we are promoting in a little over three months. Its made me tired just thinking about them all.

I do encourage people to check the links and let me know any corrected or better ones. The object is to make it as easy as possible for new athletes to enter a race or join the sport. We don't always make it easy for them.
