FELIZ NOCHE BUENA!

Happy Holidays!

We kick off the great season with Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) and keep it going through New Year's.

Wishing everyone the best for this season and the upcoming year.

Hopefully you're ready to read because there will be many more blogs to come.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

To me!  Turning 30 today, and as they say, "30 is the new 20."

Celebrating with Natsuko cooking some of my favorite foods and planning for my sand and sun holiday in April!

On a separate note, I will post more on MDS and training in the coming weeks.  It's been manic.  Apologies.

Best Wishes

Hard to believe, but Chrissie Wellington has decided to retire.  You can read more from her blog, HERE.  Saddened that we won't see her race professionally again,  but at the same time, she continues to inspire by not settling for what's comfortable, but taking a step back, re-evaluating and taking on new challenges.  Best wishes to her for the future.

 “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
