Goals
- Rock The Color Run! This will be my eighth race of 2013, and likely, by far, the most fun one I’ll participate in. Who doesn’t love running through a sea of colors?!
- Find a good mix of work/play this week…I have a busy week of work/freelancing and I also have lots of fun dinner plans with friends. I want to make sure I find a good balance this week to make sure I get everything done that I need to get done, while still relaxing and enjoying summer.
