The 30-Mile Marker

I turned 28 a couple weeks ago.  My brothers and several of my friends have already turned 30, and a several friends aren't far out from that major milestone.  A while back, I thought 30 would be no biggie, but the closer I get, it's starting to feel like a bit more of a big deal!  I want to make sure the next couple years count and I want to reach 30 knowing that I have been living a full life with no regrets!

So, here are a few things (in no particular order) which I hope to accomplish before hitting 30:

1. get in awesome shape
2. bungee jump or sky dive
3. go on a memorable road trip with friends, anywhere
4. be able to do the splits again, in at least one direction (see #1)
5. add another country to my list of places I've visited
6. regain the ability to do a back walk-over in gymnastics (see #1)
7. finish my Master's (hopefully!)
8. win a game of Acquire (.....watch out, Royce & Pete!)
9. go to a Cirque du Soleil show
10. get back into running (see #1)
11. actually become vegan, rather than just wanting/pretending to....
12. downsize..... get rid of anything that isn't absolutely necessary because I seriously hate having "stuff"!
13. run 30 miles on/before my 30th birthday..... not sure if this one is realistically possible, but it doesn't hurt to set goals (see #10)

I'm sure there's a lot more that I could add to this list and I'm sure that there are a lot of things that I will do in the next 2 years I haven't even thought to put on the list, but these are a few things that I want to be intentional about..... most of them have to do with exercise & getting in shape..... but hey, if I'm gonna turn 30, I might as well do it in the best shape I've ever been in!!
