This is a photograph from start of the fifth annual running of the AON Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Sunday 17th March 2019 (St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2019) in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photographs have been taken at Millie Walsh's bridge on the old Dublin Road. Following on from the incredible success of the first four years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016, over 1200 in 2017 and yet again over 1200 in 2018. This year over 1,500 people took part. Proceeds raised by the AON Mullingar Half Marathon will go directly to T.E.A.M (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands) finding safe & secure accommodation for homeless women and children. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year except for the weather. Last year's bitterly cold day was replaced by a wet and windy today with temperatures suitable for running. The wind had a significant impact on the race with the first 8 miles eastwards having the benefit of a strong westerly wind for the runners. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong headwind for 4 - 5 miles from around Flynn's Machinery/Junction 14 M4. To give some indication of wind strength - on the Royal Canal around mile 10 the canal was level with the bank due to recent rain. But the wind was actually blowing the canal water onto the canal pathway creating a small flood for runners to run through.

The weather didn't stop the race growing in size again. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel. The frequent heavy rain showers around midday onwards didn't allow participants to linger too long after their races had finished.

I was told that the #s were used when they moved the temple.
Philae in Greek or Pilak in ancient Egyptian, meaning 'the end,' defined the southern most limit of Egypt. It was begun by Ptolemy II and completed by the Roman Emperors. The Temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis, the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. These three characters dominate ancient Egyptian culture and their story possesses all the drama of a Shakespearian tragedy. The god Osiris is murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth. Isis searches for the fragments, collects them together and with her magic powers brings Osiris back to life. They then conceive the god Horus. Osiris becomes god of the under world and judge of the dead - who must answer to him for their deeds on Earth. Meanwhile Isis gives birth to Horus and protects the young god. Later when Horus is grown he avenges his father by defeating Seth in combat.
For centuries the temple complex was the holiest site for Isis worshippers. The temple was officially closed down in the 6th century A.D. by the Byzantine emperor Justinian. It was the last pagan temple to exist in the Mediterranean world. Philae was a seat of the Christian religion as well as of the ancient Egyptian faith. Ruins of a Christian church were still discovered, and more than one adytum bore traces of having been made to serve at different eras the purposes of a chapel of Osiris and of Christ. The Philae temple was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, until that was closed by Muslim invaders in the 7th century.
Isis is a very important figure in the ancient world. She is associated with funeral rites but as the enchantress who resurrected Osiris and gave birth to Horus she is also the giver of life, a healer and protector of kings. She was known as 'Mother of God' and was represented with a throne on her head. During the Roman period her cult spread throughout Greece and the Roman Empire. There was even a temple dedicated to her in London.
The temple at Philae was nearly lost under water when the high Aswan dam was built in the 1960s. Fortunately the temple was rescued by a joint operation between the Egyptian government and UNESCO. In an engineering feat to rival the ancients the whole island was surrounded with a dam and the inside pumped dry. Then every stone block of the temple complex was labelled and removed later to be assembled, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, on the higher ground of Agilka island. The whole project took ten years and has saved one of Egypt's most beautiful temples from certain destruction.

This is a photograph from the 35th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 21st June 2014 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged in the running community as one of the best races in Ireland. It is also one of the oldest 10KM races in Ireland. The numbers for this race have exceeded expectations year on year for the past number of years. In 2008 a record field of 306 took to the start line but by 2012 this number had more than doubled with 647 runners taking part. The starting numbers in 2013 topped this again at 668. Then this year the numbers rocketed to a new record of 883. Who knows but this race could reach 1,000 entrants next year. The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Well done to all.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race tonight taken at the 1 mile mark and then at the 400M and 600M to go mark. The full set is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157645329098733/

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.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

The General Motors Corporation's CCKW, also known as G-508 was manufactured in large numbers for the U. S. Army between 1941 and 1945. The 2.5 ton 6x6 truck, predominantly used as a cargo vehicle, served in World War II and the Korean War. They formed the backbone of the famed Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they crossed Europe. The CCKW remained in active U. S. service until the mid-1960s. The M35 series trucks were introduced in the 1950s, and eventually, became the the U. S. Army's standard 2.5-ton, 6x6 cargo truck.
Black Americans: During World War II the Red Ball Express drivers were predominantly Black-American soldiers assigned to the Quartermaster Corps. Because they were primarily relegated to non-combat roles they were available to serve as drivers. It is estimated that approximately 75 percent of the truck drivers were Black-Americans. They carried critical supplies to American divisions that were racing across Western Europe in pursuit of retreating German forces. When the Red Ball Express ended Nov. 16, 1944, truckers had delivered 412,193 tons of gas, oil, lubricants, ammunition, food, and other essentials. (Source: U. S. Army Reserves website, "Red Ball Express: Keeping the Wheels of War Turning" by Jennifer Friend.)

2015 CHALLENGE, WEEK 22: NUMBERS – GEOMETRY
I needed to get out and do a little photowalk today. Good therapy. I wandered around the Santa Maria Valley Railway Historical Museum. It's a small venue, with just one engine, car, and caboose. I took a few photos, thinking they'd be great for the geometry theme. Most of them would work just fine. But, across the street I saw this abandoned building and was enticed.
I really think the entire street-side wall is loaded with a variety of geometrical designs and even construction principles, it's like the designer/contractor/architect didn't follow one structural design rule on any one panel of this wall. I'll toss in a couple other shots from the photowalk at the end of the post.
