Total for Dec. so far: 25.84 hours, 339.55 miles.

AND you are looking at the very first registrant for the 2014 Stumpknockers Elvis Blue Suede Shoes 5K Run, which will happen on March 8 in Inverness, Florida. Benefits Herry's Kids/Pediatric Division of Hospice of Citrus County. I have my training cut out for me, but that's where my motivation kicks in. And yes, there will be running Elvises. :-) This will mark my first 5K since 2002 -- my Christmas present to myself. :-)

Speaking of Christmas...

These are all photos I took around my neighborhood: sunset, bunny in my yard, lily, juvenile mockingbird in a neighbor's arborvitae, and a giant swallowtail butterfly.
Wishing you all a wonderful and safe holiday season!
