This is a photograph from the 15th annual Daingean Festival 5KM Road Race and Fun Run held in Daingean, Co. Offaly, on Friday 1st August 2014 at 19:30. The race is held annually on the Friday before the August bank holiday weekend and over the years has built a solid reputation as a challenging but fair 5KM. Several former olympians have set course record times on the course as well as personal bests for many other runners over the years. This is the second year the course changed from it's traditional 4 laps of Daingean village.
The race also benefits from the fantastic support of athletes from the running clubs of Offaly, Laois, Westmeath, and beyond.
All of this year's photographs are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646095125104/
Congratulations to all of the organising committee, those from Tullamore Harriers and Naomh Mhuire AC who assisted with race organisation, and the local community who come out in strength to offer support and encouragement to the runners. The race marks one of the first events in the annual Daingean Music and Holiday Festival. The Daingean 5KM road race is an example of a small local race which year-in year-out attracts a quality field for all categories whilst also providing a great opportunity for those new to running to sample a race experience. There was a very impressive selection of refreshments provided for participants in the village hall afterwards. There was over 170 participants in the race tonight.

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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Participated in a race in Richmond after work today. This is the view of the crowd lined up behind me, incentive to not get trampled. It was a 5k in a mega office park called Insbrook. The race is geared towards all the corporate types who are usually chained to their desk in front of the computer all day, such as myself, so you see mostly business people in the crowd. I good way to get people out and about and to socialize outside the confines of the office. I met people today that I didn't even know workded for my company, and we are only about 100 or so people at my location. Started at the back of the corral for 8-9 minute per mile pacers, but finished better than that, completing in 24:53, about a 7:32 pace. The weather was perfect for a run, about 68 degrees, and was pretty flat. I'm used to running a lot of elevation changes, so that probably helped my time. Didn't know I could run that fast!

I am amazed to see how this Running Culture has picked up pace in India... I say running culture because not so long ago, India never had a marathon and people from the African countries were only thought of participating in those long runs... And now all the major cities host marathons... Everybody from kids to elders, men to women, husband and wife, friends are running... Running for a cause, running for fitness, running for fun, running for love etc... I hope one day I too will start running, not to earn anything but just to EARN my BODY :)

Longtail engine repair, most use old Toyota 1.5 or 2litre diesel engines.
The long-tail boat is a type of watercraft native to Southeast Asia, which uses a common automotive engine as a readily available and maintainable powerplant. A craft designed to carry passengers on a river may include a lightweight long canoe hull, up to 30 meters, and a canopy. There is much variation among these boats, and in rural areas they may be improvised from bamboo and traditional materials—the sole defining characteristic is a secondhand car or truck engine.
This engine is invariably mounted on an inboard turret-like pole which can rotate through 180 degrees, allowing steering by thrust vectoring. The propeller is mounted directly on the driveshaft with no additional gearing or transmission. Usually the engine also swivels up and down to provide a "neutral gear" where the propeller does not contact the water. The driveshaft must be extended by several meters of metal rod to properly position the propeller, giving the boat its name and distinct appearance.
Advantages to the inboard engine with a long driveshaft include keeping the engine relatively dry. Following the basic design pattern allows a variety of engines to be attached to a variety of different kinds of hulls. This flexibility simplifies construction and maintenance while sacrificing the efficiency and comfort that might be expected of a typical mass-produced product.
Cooling to the engine is provided by a shaped metal pipe strewn underneath the rear running board which is used as a rudimentary heat-exchanger. This is then coupled to the engine using rubber or plastic hoses. Clean water is then used as the coolant.
Control is achieved by moving the engine with a lever stick attached to the inboard side. Ignition and throttle controls provide simple means to control this simple craft. Larger boats may include more than one "tail," with several operators piloting in tandem.

At Purfleet depot prior to the Bank Holiday X81 running day where buses travelled between Shenfield and Bluewater Shopping Centre via Brentwood and Lakeside Shopping Centre
The sugery is healing but still lumpy and my entire foot and ankle are still larger than normal. It is unbelievable that the swelling hasn't gone down yet.
Me "Jacob, do you want to go to Toys R Us to see a Stormtrooper?"
Jacob "No!"
Me "Hurry up then and get your coat"
I couldn't leave Jacob alone at home could I?
