The is a photograph from the 13th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2014 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants finished the race today under the Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was certainly not for the faint hearted. With temperatures of about 3C and a biting wind mixed with rain participants had to endure a very very cold race day morning. Heavy rain during the previous night had seen some flooding on the road between 6KM and 9KM. Regardless of this, as always, The Fields of Athenry Road Race rose to the challenge.

This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" thirteen years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2014 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.

 

The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.

 

We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157649881213766. There are some photographs of the race start and photographs of the race finish from the 1st across the line until the 50 minutes finish time. It just got too cold to continue at this point.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Growing my nails out. Today I gave myself a home manicure. I'm so proud. My nails have never been this long. Sad, but true.

 

I'm a biter.

as a glimpse into what else has been going on with me. i bite my thumb. it's a coping mechanism. far healthier than my other one, if you ask me.

 

i struggle with really difficult anxiety; i have a panic disorder according to my doc. being even a little nervous can easily escalate into a fullblown panic attack which i feel prevents me from doing many things (getting a job, vacation, meeting new people, a lot of social events, etc).

 

so when i'm nervous, scared, uncomfortable, upset, mad, distressed, anything really, i bite my thumb. depending on how uncomfortable i am, i sometimes even bite my knuckles, parts of the hand or my wrist.

i take things out physically, in one way or another. this is the most commonplace physical coping in my life so far.

is a BiGG NO NO! and very grooosss!

 

looks like its time for a teeth whitening too...

     

dont worry...none of my nails were hurt for this image..my teeth were being very gentle..=)

Not sure how avoided biting is different from regular biting, but definitley we don't want to stretch it.

 

This was on the front of a tank where seals and sea lions would swim up, so basically you don't want to stick your hand over the rail and have them confuse your fingers with a sardine. Most of the signs were error-free - just a few like this one had interesting grammar. Bonus points for the capital T on Don'T!

This species of softshell turtle will definitely bite if you get too close! Missouri River near Vermillion, SD.

A nail-biting end? Biting nails is part of my family life ... Little anxieties nibbling at our extremities. Memories which still have a bite to them, coming to the surface like hungry fishes. Nails which can scratch any itch are torn off leaving soft ends for surviving fingers. Nails seem to offer us a hindrance to rest. The hard component of parental touch, in which touch was the dominant sense of our connectedness - our power? Scratching the skins surface inadvertently. Before we could say please scratch here? Some gnawing anxiety from this era of our foundational self bubbles up to our extremities. Calls out to be bitten at. Be gone!

If only they could be so simply.

The is a photograph from the start of the 13th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2014 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants finished the race today under the Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was certainly not for the faint hearted. With temperatures of about 3C and a biting wind mixed with rain participants had to endure a very very cold race day morning. Heavy rain during the previous night had seen some flooding on the road between 6KM and 9KM. Regardless of this, as always, The Fields of Athenry Road Race rose to the challenge.

This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" thirteen years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2014 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.

 

The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Do not use my images without asking first, please and thank you!

 

You had lay with shadows darker than your skin, and I remained in the light.

Stabbed in the back, you ran with the winters' skin biting wind.

I hadn't addressed the situation, for I felt it was needless to say.

Yet you went with the winters' biting wind.

My absolute interest was out of the act of grace, and kindness, but to my disadvantage you had assisted misery at her best.

My apologies are mute, for I never lay with shadows darker than my skin, or the winters' biting wind. The position you have put yourself in is a position fit for a demon's dance, the prance of gnashing teeth, and burning flesh.

My hopes are to your entertainment with winters' skin biting wind, for its' eyes are alluring, and blue as the sunny sky.

 

I have not written in over a year, and have been focusing on other things. Which was an excuse; nevertheless, I found great joy out of writing about a situation that is going on in my life currently. I am full of compassion and joy with my boyfriend right now, and God fulfills me with blessings every day. I am trying very hard to not let the little things bring me down, and people whom I have tried to discontinue friendships with just haven't got a clue.

I wish I could continue with more description towards the situation, but that would be a terrible idea. Furthermore, being my age absolutely sucks and I don't understand why people strive to be in their twenties because it is absolutely terrible. I know the poem suggests someone going to Hell, but if I could explain it would be a lot more clear. I sound like a terrible Christian D:

The is a photograph from the start of the 13th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2014 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants finished the race today under the Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was certainly not for the faint hearted. With temperatures of about 3C and a biting wind mixed with rain participants had to endure a very very cold race day morning. Heavy rain during the previous night had seen some flooding on the road between 6KM and 9KM. Regardless of this, as always, The Fields of Athenry Road Race rose to the challenge.

This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" thirteen years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2014 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.

 

The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.

 

We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157649881213766. There are some photographs of the race start and photographs of the race finish from the 1st across the line until the 50 minutes finish time. It just got too cold to continue at this point.
