Currently: June and July Goals

I’m back from my blogging hiatus! And in June’s Currently post I’m sharing how I did with my June Fitness Goals and my July Goals. I’ve found that it’s easier to set shorter term goals, verses annual milage goals. They are much more attainable, especially if you know how many days are in a month.…
