Making the bed just after waking up leaves your room clean nearly all of the time, but making it just before you get into bed leaves it messy most of the time.
This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 30th December 2017 at 13:00. This year's race featured the change from last year's race where the race seen the introduction of chip timing, a new start and finish in the middle of the village at the community center and, a slightly amended route.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157688852560892
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. The remainder of the race is The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was very cold and windy. The rain managed to stay away but a very cold northerly breeze certainly made conditions cold. Whatever wind advantage there was for the runners was not experienced until the second half of the race. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and last year in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 event seen very suitable weather for road racing.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland.

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!

THE MIDDLE - Thanksgiving VIII - Frankie has come to the conclusion that April (guest star Greer Grammer) is not good enough for Axl and does everything in her power to keep her out of their annual Christmas family photo. But she finds herself vying for Axl's attention by trying to rearrange timing for the family's Thanksgiving dinner when she discovers that he plans to go to April's multiple family get-togethers that day. Meanwhile, Sue goes ballistic when she discovers that Brick will now be her new co-worker at Spudsy's, on ABC's "The Middle," airing on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22 (8:008:30 p.m. EDT).

Almost a couple of weeks ago, we had another Echinopsis bloom. Only this time, we had all three of our little ones bloom at once! Two of them had three blooms, the other had one, so in all we had seven flowers in one night!
This was also the day I had the new Nikon Coolpix A for shooting that day for a photo contest at work. This is the photo I submitted. That little camera is quite impressive, it's a fixed 18.5mm lens on a compact camera that has a full DX sensor! It's really quite amazing, still a bit expensive for what it is, but it's the first of what it is realistically. I had fun shooting with it and can definitely see the draw.
Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
Saguaro National Park, Arizona.
The hike was called "Sunset/Moonrise" and was guided by a park ranger.
The idea was to hike in the late afternoon to an overlook where we could watch the sunset and then turn around to watch the (nearly) full moon, and then finish the hike in the moonlight. The total distance covered was about 5 & 1/2 miles.
There were a couple of problems, one of which was predictable.
The one that wasn't expected was that the sunset fell far below the Sonoran Desert's normally high standards. I say that as a resident here who has routinely seen them be spectacular. The other hikers were all visitors and they were impressed.
The known factor was that for the hike to work as described and to take a minimal amount of time, it had to be scheduled for a night that wasn't optimal for the moonrise. The moon had to be high enough in the sky to light the trail, so it was already too high for my (photographic) purposes after sunset. I would like one day to capture it as it is just rising above the mountains and seems to be right on top of a saguaro or ten. This was the wrong time of the month for that. I am hoping to take such a hike later in January. Hoping for the timing and location to be just right, and even more so that the government can get its act together so the hike can actually take place.
On the plus side, it was thrilling making the descent to the desert's floor after sunset (nobody used their flashlight even once) and then the best part of the entire hike was the final mile on level ground which went through the famed Cactus Forest. It's a totally different experience to hike among the giant saguaros when they are lit by the moon.

This is a photograph taken at the Donadea Forest 10KM race and fun run which was held in Donadea Forest, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 12th October 2012 at 11:00. This is the 6th running of this event and the race has grown from year to year. St Kevins GAA club in Staplestown provides the venue for the start and the finish of the 10KM race is deep with the forest beside the lake and coffee shop. As a race it has grown to be a very popular event and comes in good timing for a last fast run for athletes aiming for personal bests and fast times in the forthcoming Dublin City Marathon. The race combines about 3KM of road race before entering the Forest and completing a full lap of the inner perimeter trail route of the Forest before finishing beside the Lake/Coffee Shop area in the middle of the Forest.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: There was approximately 300 participants.
Weather: The race was held on a bright clear crisp autumn morning. There was a slight breeze against the participants for the firs 2.5KM on the road but the forest canopy provided shelter from the breeze. Temperatures were perfect for running.
Course: The race starts at the Stapelstown crossroads at the bog-road to Prosperous and heads north on the road on the outside of the forest. The course then takes a right turn at The Range and again follows the perimeter of the forest. The race then enters the forest here [goo.gl/maps/LFIPq] and proceeds on an anti-clockwise full loop of the inner perimeter route around the forest. This brings participants past the lake twice with the second passing bringing runners into the finish. The route overall is one which could be considered a fast course. However there are two hills in the forest which must be tackled twice. However the shelter of the forest means that the final 7KM of the race are run in a wind-sheltered environment.
Location Map: Start Area: goo.gl/maps/C7Jwo (Google Streetview) and St. Kevins GAA goo.gl/maps/2Znix (Google Streetview). The finish area is in the Forest and located beside the lake (goo.gl/maps/SViUs Google Satellite)
Refreshments Refreshments were provided to participants in St. Kevin's GAA club goo.gl/maps/2Znix

This is a photograph from both of the races in the 8th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 22nd October 2017 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather in the week leading up to the race was hardly ideal with both Storm Ophelia and Storm Brian bringing windy and rainy conditions to Ireland all week. The weather for race day was more suitable for running. Dry, with a fresh breeze, the weather remained dry for both races with the sun making an appearance also.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157661720601468

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

This is a photograph from the first running of the Clonard GAA 4 Mile Road Race, Fun Run and Walk which was held in the village of Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland on Wednesday 2nd August 2017 at 19:30. This race was organised to faciliate the continued fund raising for the wonderful new GAA facilities at St. Finian's Park - the new home of Clonard GAA. The race itself was an outstanding success with over 400 participants including over 230 participants having chip timing. The new GAA facilities provided ample car parking and space for refreshments and mingling afterwards.
The four mile distance is something of a novelty these days on the road racing circuit and the large field shows that the distance holds an attraction for runners, joggers and walkers.
The race started and finished at the new GAA pitch and incredibly only 20 meters separated the start and finish line of the race. The route took the participants east bound on the R148 towards Enfield through the village of Clonard and onwards to take a right turn onto Keegan's boreen to cross the M4/M6. The route then took a right turn on the Clonard Edenderry road to return back to Clonard with another crossing of the M4/M6 motorway.
As this was the first running of the race the support from local athletes was very visible.
Credit must go to Clonard GAA and Clonard Community Council who provided excellent organisation on all aspects of the race including event management, parking and race stewarding with the Gardai. This race can be an example to every other club in Ireland in how a properly organised race can be run.
Race event management and registration was supplied by Kildare company POPUP Races www.popupraces.ie

This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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
Timing is everything when it comes to that perfect weather related photo. The fog disappeared completely 20 minutes after this morning shot.
This is a photograph from the 14th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin City, Ireland on New Year's Day Tuesday 1st January 2019 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, looped route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The weather on New Year's Day, over the past years, in the Phoenix Park has always been unpredictable and today was no different. The mild and calm weather of the Christmas period continued and there was near perfect conditions for running. A slight headwind into the faces of participants along Furze road (between 2KM and 3KM) was hardly noticeable in the mild conditions. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers shook off the effects of Christmas celebrations to take part. The route itself is flat without any noticeable undulations. This year's race had one of the biggest field of participants in its long and well established history.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs which was taken at the race. The complete set is available on our Flickr page at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157705212556295]
Timing and Event Management was provided by the Irish company MyRunResults.com. The results from today's race can be found on their website in the results section [www.myrunresults.com/]
The race is organised and promoted by the local athletics club Liffey Valley Athletic Club who are based in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 and have a catchment area around this part of Dublin city. The race itself commemorates the memory and contribution of former club member Tom Brennan who won the National Cross Country Championships in 1975 in UCD Belfield at the age of 24 years. A special commemorative perpetual trophy is presented to the winner of the race every year. The race is also of particular interest to those runners, joggers and walkers who are not necessarily involved in the competitive side of road racing. Annually the race is the first of a series of races in Dublin city which make up the Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge. This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its seventh year and several hundred runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. Dublin City Council makes an open call for people to register to be a part of the programme in autumn every year.
The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. Undertaking a road race event in any location is a challenging task. However the Phoenix Park presents a unique challenge in terms of traffic flow around this part of Dublin and general logistics. Despite this the efforts by the host club are greatly appreciated as is evident by the turn out every year. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new calendar year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.

Bad timing for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show website to go down. The NAHBS begins tomorrow in Richmond, VA.
I know of a couple of things that can cause a website suspension like this: DMCA takedown notice or bandwidth allocation was exceeded. Given the extreme interest this year in the Handmade Bicycle Show, I imagine the bandwidth allocation was exceeded.
This is a photograph from the 3rd round of the Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 21st May 2014 at 20:00. This is the penultimate race in the 2014 series. The race follows the roads and trails around Belvedere and is a very testing 5KM route. The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Over 350 people took part in tonight's event. The weather was the best yet with beautiful warm sunshine with little or no breeze. Perfect running conditions. The final round of the league will take place in one weeks time.

The weather, wind and timing threatened my chance to prove I'd trained for a really big swim in support of Harvey. With so much uncertainty, I decided to prove it to myself on my terms. 25 miles in the 60-degree water of Dover Harbour. 18 months ago I couldn't lift a towel over my head because of shoulder pain. Within 18 months, Harvey will be running. You can do anything you set your mind to! Dream big.
it's cheaper to buy sparklers after the fourth.
and sparklers are fun every day, not just the fourth of july.
so, we played with them on the sixth.
fuck it.
Knowing that a CN eastbound was approaching we nearly had a perfect meet shot with SOR 597, who was pulling out of the South Service Track at Paris in a rare daytime move. Unfortunately the SOR move started a few seconds earlier that I would have liked, so I didn't get the meet shot I was hoping for, but I still was able to catch one of IC's repainted SD70's in the lead. The SOR conductor is about to restore the derail behind his train.
Every fisherman and photographer has a million "the one that got away" stories and this is one more entry. I was sitting in a right turn lane waiting for my light and took this as a zoom thru the windshield. The instant I took it, my light turned green so I lowered the camera and started rolling. Exactly one nanosecond later, a cop pulled up to this biker's right and was checking him out pretty close but I already had cars rolling behind me so I couldn't get the big bonus shot. Aaargh.

Jim Rennert: Timing
(Leica M10 | Leica Summilux-M 35/1.4 FLE)
Talk about timing. Just after I decided to do an OXBLOOD themed blog post (that’s the IT burgundy hue I profiled earlier this week), Meredith walked by me in Starbucks!
Meredith’s cropped, faux leather jacket is an H&M score! Her lace top is XXI Forever. They pair well with her grey skinnies. Meredith’s wing tip, lace-up heels are from Nordstrom. Her bag is Louis Vuitton, and the sunglasses (in her hands above) are Prada.
When it comes to her style, Meredith tells me, “A mix of high end and more budget friendly items is my favorite way to do it — as long as you have a couple key high end pieces — like bags and sunglasses. I fill in the rest with less expensive things.”
