So this blog has been on hiatus for almost a year, but I am going try and bring it back because of all of the sentimental value it holds. (Also, the fact that the husband asked me to because he was sad too.) It's true. We have had this blog since before we even got married and it does have a lot of good memories that I want to keep going. </div>

A few Sundays ago, we heard there was going to be a solar eclipse and the western part of the United States was going to have a pretty good show. We were told in Las Cruces that it would only be about 40 percent, but we took our chances anyway and went out to check it out. Mike rode his bike up to the top of A Mountain while I ran it. It's so much harder to run it!</div>

Stephanie is another science teacher at my job. We both talked about getting pregnancy this year and she got pregnant pretty quickly. So the whole year we have gone through all the stages of pregnancy and it was so fun to watch her. </div>

Now that school is ending, she is getting ready to have the baby so we held a shower for her. Here she is with her presents.</div>

Last week Mike was riding with some friends on a road ride and a car turned in front of the group. They all had to brake on their bikes and another rider hit him. Poor Postal Service bike was gone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The plan was to sell our Lexus and use it on a new bike. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we bought a new bike and it came in on Friday. Mike went on his first ride Saturday morning a day later, this is what it looked like:</div>

It's been years since Mike has raced in Cloudcroft, since they had to stop it for a while and then ended up cancelling it last year because of fires. We finally got to go try it out and even better, were able to sleep in our own beds the night before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was my first Cloudcroft race and I was VERY nervous considering I had gotten way out of shape during the winter and lost all hill climbing skills I gained last season. Here I am right before the race. It was nice because we actually had time to be ready and hang out before the race.</div>

The hill climbing was intense and we had to do it twice! Mike was able to do it under two hours and it took me a lot longer. Afterwards, we had todown some pickle juce so we wouldn't get cramps.</div>

Kind of bummed we didn't get a lot of pictures of the local road race here. Mike was able to place fifth in the time trial and rocked it, even though it was SNOWING while he did it. He had to unclip at the turn and we think he would have placed higher if his turn was smoother.</div>

This is the picture of the crit race, the same day. He was able to stay with the team and Zia Velo came in for a win for the Category 5 racers!</div>

This was my first road race on my road bike and it took place in Hillsboro, NM (about an hour and a half outside of town)...we seriously did not get a single picture of that day! Mike paced 25th and I placed 12th. I was riding by myself for half of the 32 miles I rode, so I was hurting!</div>

I was going to be in Vegas for Mike's birthday and I felt a little bad so I decided to make a special weekend for him in Las Cruces. We decided to have a "staycation" and stay at a nice Holiday Inn Express here in town. It ain't no Mandalay Bay, but it was pretty nice and had an awesome hot tub and work out room!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

Mike was able to hot tub before watching "The Walking Dead" finale and then we went out for ice cream right after. The next morning I made an appointment for him to get a massage at Massage Envy.</div>

We made goals at the beginning of the year on a bulletin board for New Years and Mike's goal was to race in another state and do three century rides...and he did it!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">The weather was gorgeous and it was great to go running with Debbie and Carolyn in the morning while they started the race. The night before we drove in and went to the convention center and saw all the booths set up with all the bike stuff. It was sweet.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">This is Mike at the finish line. He did the 85 mile race. He came in with the first group of riders and was 3 seconds from first place!!
