Yes - Spring is certainly in the air with one month to go to the London Marathon it's that time of year when the training plan says "Do a race pace half marathon", well at least it seems to on every race organisers training plan !
So for the next few weeks it is a massive list of large road races that started back earlier in the month with the Surrey Half and will go on through
Bournemouth Bay Run in April to the new Southampton Half Marathon (sold out) on the same day as London.
We covered 6 events this weekend - and all of them were put on to an excellent standard by all the organisers - and we witnessed some fantastic performances fast, PBs and first timers !
We have put up over 260,000 images onto the gallery over the past three days - across the six events. That's a lot of time spent getting the cataloguing done so the search facility works on the gallery - in fact it's about 15 people for three days solid, so I've got to say I'm very proud of the work they have done, and the speed they have maintained to bring you these galleries so quickly - I hope you all enjoy it too, and you are - if the facebook share comments under the images are anything to go by !
(By the way - the facebook comments box on the gallery is the fastest and legally the easiest way to post a photo onto your facebook page, it's designed so you don't have to steal the image to post it to your timeline for free)
