- Day Four -
After visiting Two-Medicine Lake, we continued on our little journey with the map we got from the curio shop owner. We found a place to park and hiked up to a secluded place where we found a waterfall unlike I've ever seen - Running Eagle Falls. During the spring time, there are two flowing falls, one from inside (as photographed) and one over top. During the fall, only the inner waterfall is flowing.
Before heading back West to Whitefish, we drove on a winding road with aspen forests surrounding each side. It was beautiful and refreshing, a relaxing way to end our adventure for the day.
"The Story of Running Eagle:
Running Eagle lived many years ago, long before European contact in the early 1700's. She was born here in the heart-land of the Amskapi-Pikuni, next to the shining mountains. Running Eagle was a real mortal person, not mythical.
Running Eagle's life story is an illustrious saga of leadership and many victories that are famous to this day.
The story of her life was told by Pikuni elders in a true oral traditional manner. Running Eagle is the only young woman of the Pikuni people to have gone on a four day fast; to suffer, dream, pray and find her medicine. High above the beautiful falls, her vision was successful. This is a most sacred and respected site, named in her honor by the Pikuni people. In those early days, only young men of certain societies had the special privilege to fast and receive their power.
Running Eagle became a true woman warrior for courage and bravery in all her accomplishments and deeds. Running Eagle was a great horsewoman, a fast runner and excellent hunter. She was kind, thoughtful, and a generous person. With precise perfection, Running Eagle made everything, including her spear, quiver, bows & arrows, all of her horse accouterments of those days. She was out-standing in her warrior-woman attirement of white buck-skin decorated with dyed quill work. She wore a splendid straight up eagle feather war bonnet and carried a shield.
The true exciting stories of her prowess on war parties, raids, adventures, and counting coup unfolded many times in lodges throughout the land. In the time of her teenage years, Running Eagle became the head of her father's painted lodge after his death. It was then she raised her brothers and sisters, and took care of the extended family in accordance with Pikuni laws and traditions.
Running Eagle was a tall and beautiful woman, with long black braids, and walked a straight religious path with grace, pride, and honor. Near her 30th year, Running Eagle went on her last raid across the Continental Divide where she was killed by the Flathead in their territory.
The Pikuni warriors brought her back up to Upper Two Medicine Lake and buried her in a tree on the mountain overlooking the falls. The Pikuni people hold Running Eagle in very high esteem for her knowledge and wisdom, and the inspiring person she became."

I got a new PB at parkrun today!
parkrun is a free weekly 5k run. It is organised by volunteers and is a great way to start the weekend.
There are parkruns all over the UK & Ireland and is emerging in the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
So here we have my freshly worn and slightly smelly running shoes!

Between two high school cross country meets and a marathon, I've been spending a lot of time the past week running around photographing people running around. This is a shot taken for work of students from our Des Moines high schools competing in the State Cross Country Qualifying Meet.

This is a photograph from the Edenderry "Frank Kilrane Cup" 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Edenderry, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Sunday 22nd of July 2018 at 09:30. The race also features the Offaly AAI 10 Mile Road championships. As it is a county championship race the first man and woman from the county of Offaly will be presented with the Frank Kilrane perpetual Cup. St. Mary's Primary School in Edenderry was used as race HQ. Irish timing company Popup Races provided electronic timing and event management for the race.
The race has been held for the last number of years during the Easter period so this is the first time that the race has been held during the Summer months. Overall, the route is a fair and predominantly flat with the exception of a few rolling hills, in places. The race starts on the R441 road to Rhode from the Edenderry/Tullamore road and proceeds northwards towards Jonestown crossroads. The race takes a left and heads westward towards Rhode. A few KM outside of road the race turns southwards into the townlands of Thomastown, Sallymount, Rogerstown and Monasteroris. The race crosses the Grand Canal at Trimblestown Bridge, which is a steep canal bridge, carrying traffic over the Grand Canal between Kilbeggan and Edenderry. The course turns eastwards again and returns back to Edenderry where the course at around 9 miles meets the course at 1.5 miles mark. Another crossing of the Grand Canal sees the race cross Cartland Bridge before the 9 mile mark. The race finishes in Derry Rovers FC soccer ground where there is a tarmac surface surrounding the pitch. The weather was clear and bright but rather warm with air temperatures close to 20C with the feeling of high humidity. This made it a bit difficult for runners. However, there was little or no wind. Overall, this was a well organised raced with over 250 participants taking part.
Edenderry is a town with a population of around 10,000. The town is a busy one given that it provides a focal point for a large rural population around it. The town experienced growth in the 50s and 60s powered by the presence of Board na Mona and the ESB utilising the vast peat production areas around the town.
