No Lance Mackey for 2014 Iditarod!

This news really bummed me out, but I totally understand why Lance bowed out of this years races.  He has undergone extensive surgery to remove all his teeth in preparation for implants.  He JUST announced he will be running the Fur a Rondy sprint race this year though!!  YOU GO LANCE!!  This guy is simply amazing!  I just finished reading his book this winter and wow....I have always been a fan of Lance's, but after reading the book you really get an understanding of this guys challenges through life.  It really is quite the inspirational book and I highly recommend it!  And that from someone who doesn't even like to read!
