Well, since it's been so long since I last wrote let me catch things up a bit. 

David:

Last month David began losing interest in cycling and became somewhat interested in playing high school basketball.  He started to practice and went to team try outs.  Unfortunatly it has been around 2 years since he last practiced and he wasnt good enough to make the team. 

After a short break from riding (2 weeks of light riding) he has become much more motivated at cycling again and plans to persue the sport.

Danae:

She has almost totally lost interest in cycling.  She said that she will eventually get back to riding but since she has started middle school and band she doesn't have the time or interest in the sport right now.  I think she misses her cycling friends but doesn't miss the hard training rides.  Perhaps she would enjoy casual riding more.

Myself:

I have decided that I am way too out of shape for racing.  David took 2 weeks off (light riding) and I kept training and he still beats me in endurance, climbing, and intervals.  I also feel out of shape during races and training where I struggle to keep up with other riders and I have noticed that I have gained around 15 to 20 pounds.  I have started to watch my food intake and have already dropped around 5 pounds and I would like to drop 10 more.  I also plan to concentrate on my training during the off season so I can be ready for next February.

That's about it so far.  I hope to make my posts more frequent again.

Later.
