If you feel in balance with, as you say, 13 hour days, then go for it. Don't get hung up on what other people feel is your proper balance. This is why, I think, so many corporate work-life balance programs fail; they're trying a one-size solution on an individual problem.

I personally attach the most value to the passion component. If you love your work then you really don't care about balance. I've come to realize that people who are truly happy in life, are also happy about their work/life balance (whatever it is). So, obviously there is a close connection because I've yet to find someone who is always happy and very negative about their work/life balance. Does that go hand in hand then as well? Great post.
