December 2013 in pictures

Not much to say about December of 2013.  Birds, birds, birds and Ancient Oaks 100.

I cleaned this parakeet's eye.  Yes, you read that right.

Cracker Jack, who has been adopted, started trusting me.

I ended up getting her out.  Look how relaxed and comfortable!!

This is my 21 year old boyfriend, TC.  He's a Military Macaw.  I adore him.

Florida is a different world! 

One of two bobcats in my neighborhood that afternoon.  Sorry for the poor quality of the picture.

RaceTrac only has one employee.

Random find during a run.

This was the biggest truck I've ever seen.  This guy must be built like a Ken doll to need something like this.

ANCIENT OAKS 100

I completed Ancient Oaks in 29ish hours (can't remember).  The important part is that I was happy and not nauseous the whole time.  I also only slept one hour, another victory!

The start

Mike Baker and me.  Poor Mike, I told him we'd start out walking.  We didn't.

Most of the trail looked like this.  Beautiful!

The roots were like this.  Tricky at night.

The one and only hill of the whole course.  14 feet high and named Mt. Mahoney.
