At the recent Cork City Marathon, there came a point where there was a big mass of runners.  These were just some of those bunched up.   My full set of photos from the day are on Flickr.

Chilling out while running a marathon.  Why not sure!  It was a nice day for it.

This guy was feeling the heat at the Cork City Marathon this year.  This was out at Dunkettle only about 6 or 7 miles in with a long way to go.  I hope this doesn’t happen to me tomorrow at the Lough Ine Triathlon but it looks like tomorrow is going to be wet and windy.  Yikes!

I took a bunch of photos at the recent marathon in Cork all of which can be seen in the full set on Flickr.  I’ll post a few of them here from time to time but I’ll have to come up with a more imaginative title than this one!

A friend recently fulfilled a lifelong ambition (well, one of them I’m sure!) to roast a pig on a spit.  The pig was cooking all day and I’m glad to say I’m still around after tucking in.  It was oh so good but I’d never have the patience to actually go to the bother of this.

Final photo from the day trip down to Guagán Barra.

One more photo from the picturesque Guagán.  If you’re visiting Cork and it’s not actually raining, this is a lovely place to visit.

Another shot down at Guagán Barra.  Let’s just hope we get some of that fine weather back again.

We took a little walk up one of the many paths at Guagán Barra a few weeks ago.  It was a glorious sunny day so the going was tough but the views when we got up there were well worth it.

The oft-photographed little church at Guagán Barra a few miles on from Béal Atha an Ghaorthaidh.  This is the starting point of the River Lee which runs all the way to Cork City.

The church here is tiny with just enough room for one person to go up the aisle.  I played the uilleann pipes at a wedding here when I was barely a teenager for my neighbour who was teaching me the violin at the time.  Brave move (for her!) but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I still play some of the tunes I learned for that wedding to this day.  I no longer play the violin though!
