Feliz Navidad...I Wanna Wish You A Merry Christmas, From The Bottom Of My Heart!!

I am sorry I have been MIA lately. I am dealing with a calf injury that has me just swimming for now(no spinning,cycling,running), and you know when I am a little down & out I go AWOL. The injury is canceling my plans for the Houston Aramco 1/2 Marathon in a few weeks. I am just staying positive a la' Tony Robbins and looking forward to Surf City but most importantly my main goal of New Orleans IM70.3.
I wish you, and your families a very Merry Christmas!

"So many people along the way, whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits." - Michael Phelps

~Who would have thought that the guy with the barley there Speedos would say something so profound that it would resonate so deeply within me.

sorry that you're out with injury right now. Hope santa brings you healthy strong legs, and that he drops off a 2nd pair at my house if he has any left :) Merry Xmas to you and yours :D

Sorry about the injury. Just think of it as a change of plans. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be better than Plan A anyway. :-)

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Viv!

Sorry to hear about the 1/2 marathon and your calf injury. Heal up so you will be ready for your 70.3 in April. Trust me, the swimming is GOOD for you right now and you will get some killer looking arms and lats out of it!
