Life lessons

"If I have a little situation, I can always jump off my bike and run up anything..."
Donovan, 5yrs old, on cyclocrossing at the park.



I have not felt like writing anything in the last few months, so if you are 1 of the 2 people out there in cyberspace who read this (besides my wife), I apologize. Following a nasty 2-week+ cold right on the heels of cross season and right before Christmas, my dear sis (in-law), Christina, was diagnosed with a giant aneurysm, and underwent neurosurgery. Complications post-surgery took her away from this Earth a few days after Christmas. This past 'holiday' season and beyond has been unlike any other we've experienced before... zero desire to blog, very little motivation to do much of anything.

Not sure just yet what 2012 will bring. A wise man told me recently 'one has to balance racing with life and as life changes, so does that balance.' As I stare at the 2012 season, I think I'll take Donovan's advice, jump off and start running...


More soon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the kind words and support over the last few months.
