LONG GONE ARE the Christmas Days where people don’t leave their homes or even entertain the idea of exercise.
The traditional morning swim or run is becoming more widespread among Irish families.
Today, thousands of you took to the seas and the roads for various activities. Here are some of the images our photographer and our readers sent to us.
Starting with the 40 foot in Dublin…
John Dungan, Colin Finn and Carl Finn are delighted after their jumps.
Waiting their turn…
Getting ready are Patricia Heffernan and Dee Byrne.
All set…
Grand morning for it all the same..
Wicklow’s Pat Cremin did it!
So did this lot…
Some people opted for run in this morning’s crisp air instead – and raised money for GOAL at the same time.
Andrew and Peter Cloonan made a special effort at Irishtown Stadium.
Dogs Lola and Zazu also did their bit…
With a little help from some friends… William, aged 9, carries 7-year-old Patrick Collins.
Coming from Dun Laoighaire and Dingle, Comhnall, Rachel and Brendan Fanning get ready for the mile.
There were more swimmers out at Low Rock in Portmarnock, including sisters Fiona Killen and Katie Verdon.
Frank and Clare Hallinan Flood also enjoyed the dip.
Simon Keartland sent us this snap of his family, the Power and other friends at Seapoint.
Finally, Patrick Maye went one step further and sent us this video of his jump and swim.

Eir have nothing but total and utter contempt for their customers, it’s the equivalent of climbing Mt Everest to get in contact with them!
@Brian Hunt: swapped to Three years ago and never looked back. Eir is a French company these days with horrific customer service. Worst company in the world to deal with bar none.
@Brian Hunt: At least you’ll get a good signal up there when you’ve reached the top. But,be prepared for a frosty reception if you do get through.
@John Doe Trump: I went in the opposite direction, couldn’t get signal for Three in my house
My 4g vanished for around 10 minutes earlier. I’ve been with gomo since just after they started, and this is only the second outage i can recall. Not bad for €9.99.
@honey badger: gomo is eir mate.
Just like Finkle was Einhorn
@Argus Romsworth: I know that. It’s also mentioned in the article…
@Argus Romsworth: laces out
Their technicians have to get up on the roof and adjust the wire coat hanger antenna.
I am with Eir years. Never any major issue. Find the data top notch. Only downside is trying to call them. It’d be easier get through to Trump
@Maniac 2000: You’ll get through to Trump on the mega phone. Make Eir Great Again
@Maniac 2000: well you obviously completely ignore the widely publicised contempt that they have for their customers ??
I….nt……er……n…..et …..
Three network has the same issues last week my data n credit was gone I only got my credit back yesterday after a week
Don’t go with Eir and you will not have this problem. They are an absolute unethical disgrace
Everything is routed through the Internet these days. Imagine some ship cuts more than one undersea cable, most of communication will be dead. Better prepare in advance and get some free to use radio equipment (CB, PMR) + mobile antennas for the car or balcony.
It was going slow yesterday too
have your say
