until I turn thirty.
I have to keep checking the math in my head. Wait, thirty? Are you sure? Didn't I just turn 21?
Didn't I just turn 3 and get an awesome Rainbow Brite tricycle?
I'm not really stressing it, though. I don't feel that old and everyone says their thirties are better than their twenties, anyway.
Before I reach this milestone though, there are some things I would like to check off my bucket list. Things I have been talking about or thinking about and haven't done yet. Turning 30 gives me a date to countdown to. Like I said yesterday, I work better under pressure, so instead of giving myself the rest of my life to complete these, I'm hoping that giving myself a cutoff makes me more productive.

ReplyDeleteTo help you with your running goal, check out the Couch to 5K. (There's an app) It starts off pretty easy with a 30 minute work out that alternates between a 1 minute jog and a 1 1/12 minute walk. It uses your own music and just cues you when to jog and walk. If you follow the program, it gets you to do a 5k (3.1 miles) at the end of 9 weeks. I was not a runner AT ALL and now I have done 2 half marathons and a full marathon. (I'm not paid or anything by them, I just really believe in it!)
I'll be following you to see how you do on your goals!
