Keeping My 2013 Goals

Since May is only a couple of weeks away, I thought I would reflect on how I’m doing with my 2013 goals. My first thoughts is that I’m doing pretty darn good with them. I wanted to create smaller, more meaningful goals that I knew would be within reach while pushing me as well. So […]

I was starting to get extremely bored of running and needed to take on a new challenge. I’ll always revert back to running because I […]
