Sorry that this post is late today but I’ve been traveling a lot lately.   I just got back from the amazing Fitbloggin’ 13 in Portland, Oregon.  I have so much to share about my recent adventures that I need a few days to gather up all the fabulousness I’ve encountered on my #secretvacation and at Fitbloggin.

In attempt to be somewhat timely, (since 2013 is already half over – hello July 1st!) today we’re doing the quarterly check in on the progress being made with my #13in2013 goals.  My first quarter check in post is here.

#13in2013 Goals:

    1. Complete a half marathon (the original #13in2013) – Still recovering from injury. Did learn 11 Reasons To Attend A Health & Fitness Expo (even when you can’t run).

    2. Perform 13 acts of kindness (inspired by Sandy Hook) – Done 5, want 9 by Sept.
    3. Read 13 books – I’ve read 4 books but one was the new and very fun MTV VJ book!

Boy am I glad I have another 6 months to hit some of these goals since I’m so behind!
