🎂Happy Birthday to Lance Armstrong -

📣"Not a big birthday guy but I am a huge believer in acknowledging time and the passage of time. 54 years for me today and all I can say is two things…
First off, I have never felt stronger or healthier. Ever.
And two, I cannot wait for the second 54."-- Lance Armstrong
