Well, things are going wonderfully!  And fall and the off season is in full swing.  Chris and I have officially made the move to P-town and are very thrilled to be here!  For the past month or so, we have had to invade ur friends’ homes because we didn’t have a permanent place of residence.  As of yesterday we are now living in Northwest on the outskirts of Alphabet district.  It’s an awesome place with tons of space and a lot of character.  We are thrilled to be in our own place finally!  A huge thanks to all of y’all that helped us out a long the way :)  

The off season has been much needed!  I have been commuting to work, so that’s forcing me to ride every day, but it’s nice to be on the bike without doing workouts.  The commute gives me about 1.5 hours of riding a day and then I usually try to run a little at work, which has been a big change.  This last weekend LeeAnn, Derek, and I were able to go down and watch the Portland Marathon and you know what???  It actually made me feel like running!  OH MY GOSH!  Karey wants to run???!!!??  I know…it’s shocking, but it’s true.  So, my goal is to work up to a good 5 k, and maybe even do a race before the end of  winter. I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.

The TAI women just had a little off season meeting and dinner over at Casey’s place.  It was awesome, and the Deck tacos were very yummy. It’s looking to be an exciting season this next year, with a few new riders and lots of talent!  I’m very excited for what we have in store!
