T'was Christmas morning at 7:45am and all through the house not a creature was stirring, except for a runner. I crept down the stairs, and nearly twisted my ankle when I missed the last step – not a good start! I bypassed the Christmas tree, and the presents, and headed for the kitchen to make a festive bowl of porridge. I hadn't been up so early on Christmas day for years!

Marie Curran was in town on New Year's Eve to witness the final leg of Paul Fallon's thousand mile running journey to raise funds for On the Road Again, a charity set up to help the homeless through getting people running:
Renmore Church at 3pm on New Years Eve was a hub of activity as a group of people eagerly awaited Paul Fallon's arrival. He was on the final leg of his incredible journey, which started on December 1st in Dublin and New Years Eve was to be the final day of his 1000 miles of running for the homeless.
A great start to the 2012 road running season in Galway today in Renmore.
Two laps of Renmore following by a cup of tea is always a constructive way of spending an early Sunday afternoon.
Full provisional result and prize list is attached.
Well, the weather looks like holding and we'll be good to go on Stephen's day.
Some last minute instructions.
Race numbers are available for collection from 9:30am in Presentation College Athenry Sports Hall.
Reminder - No entries available on the day!
In the hopefully unlikely event that inclement weather puts a spanner in the works, we will update the website www.athenryac.com as soon as possible.
While there is a good amount of parking in the School grounds, there is more parking near the railway station for those travelling from the North.
