There is this giant gap in my blogging between the months of June 2007 and January 2008.  No,...I didn't give up on blogging.  The problem was that several things converged at once to limit my ability to blog.  First, I started a new job.  Second, marathon and cycling training began in earnest.  As the summer progressed, every waking moment was occupied.  So,...this single post will have to suffice.  Here are some highlights:

The bottom line is that I was hyper-busy during the second half of 2007, and it hasn't slowed down too much since then.  There's been no cycling this year, but I have several races on the calendar for September, November, and January.
