Aiming for Balance

So it’s February already. I honestly have no idea where January went. I do remember making a mental note to post about my 2015 goals as I always do, but life got in the way and I’ve been going nuts trying to juggle race organizing, blogging, editorial work, graphic design work, running, working out at the gym, swimming and biking, and, last but not the least, caring for the kiddos, that I never got around to it.  Hopefully I jot down my goals before June arrives!
