This picture is supposed to symbolise the jump as in leap day. I wasn't in any position to go out jumping anywhere or to take pictures of someone jumping. Instead I thought of jump leads for starting a car and then how my heart was jump started 11 days ago. So the bear got the jump started heart.
Once the sun goes down and the lanterns turn on a simple scene like this can take on a whole different dimension. Too bad I was here too early for this shot.
The starting line of the Flat Track Motorcycle Racers. This is the first heat of the day. I understand but motorcycles need a lot of track preperation. After every heat and semi they had to wet down the track a little and smooth it out. You have to have some patience when watching these races. If a groove starts to get worn in it takes even longer to fix up the track.

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, 5KM fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 29th December 2018 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This year seen one of the largest overall entries in the races.
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/72157703633931361

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. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after Brí, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.
The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. 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 almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was little or no breeze. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December.
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.

On Friday, John, the head coach of the TCC swim team, came out while we were waiting for practice to start. He called our daughter over and spent almost half an hour or more helping her work on her cross over turns for the backstroke and flip turns for the freestyle. This image comes from one of the few times he made her start from the other side to do a full lap before making the cross over turn. We really appreciated the time John gave to her.

Made homemade applesauce for dessert on this cold damp evening. The recipe called for cooking for 4 hours on high, but it really only needed to cook for 2 hours in my crockpot. www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-applesauce-in-the-slow…
special thanks: fantastic!
