We kicked off January with goals from our pros, then asked you to share yours. For Lauren Fleshman this is the year to take chances and let go of perfection in training. Kara Goucher will be focusing on believing in herself to make it atop the podium again. Steph Rothstein is gaining strength and rolling with the punches as she bounces back from injury. And Kate Grace is ready to race fearless as she hits the track this spring.
You all have shared inspiring goals of your own. We received an incredible number of responses compiled on our Pinterest board, some in their own blogs, and a handful of our favorites live here. Thank you for sharing with us! Keep dreaming big. #theyeari
