This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

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.

Running horses at New Forest wildlife park. It gives a fantastic feeling to see these amazing creatures to run free a few meters away from you.

I have had photos stolen on the internet and claimed by others as their own work so I have now chosen to protect my images with a copyright symbol in the center. I regret the necessity of this action however, regardless of the aesthetics, the subject is not open to discussion and I will delete any comments on it. Thank you for your understanding.
Sands Beach Active and the Lanzarote Marathon hold a Natural Running clinic showcasing Newton Running Shoes.
More running shoes...decisions decisions.....
I spent a lot of time researching running shoes. So many shoes, so many reviews, so many opinions about what works and doesn't work for his or her feet. I guess it helps just to try the shoe on for yourself. That is exactly what I did at the nearest Fleet Feet! Needless to say, I didn't buy either one of these shoes.
Me. Age five. Elliot Lake, Ontario. Running away.
Realizing I will need supplies, I pack a suitcase. It contains a single action figure.
Being winter, I dress appropriately in boots, mittens, and a scarf.
I am wearing nothing else.
My mother, who takes this photo, is very supportive.
My father, on the couch in the background, seems less than concerned.
I open the door.
There is a full-on blizzard outside.
I go downstairs and play with my action figure.
didn't have a high speed camera to compare my running form barefoot (Vibram) vs. with shoes. So I used a stroboscopic flash to try to get an idea of it.
Kinda has a cool look to it. Need to figure out how to get it off-camera and do this. My Radio Poppers won't trigger the stroboscopic feature... Guess that's a TTL feature. :-\
Another deer sighting from Monday morning.
I was so mad that the buck wasn't in focus, but I had to take it quickly, and the auto focus focused on the area behind the deer. I changed it to manual focus, but it was too late.
From the sign:
"Running Eagle lived many years ago, long before European contact in the early 1700's [sic]. She was born here in the heartland 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 an excellent hunter. She was kind, thoughtful, and a generous person. With precise perfection, Running Eagle made everything, including her spear, quiver, bow and arrows, all of her horse accouterments of those days. She was outstanding in her warrior-woman attire of white buckskin 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 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."
Glacier National Park was established in 1910. In 1850, there were 150 glaciers in the park; now there are 25 active glaciers. It is estimated that by 2030, there will be no glaciers in Glacier National Park due to climate change.
