Today is Feb 23rd which means one main thing to me……2 months left in my 20s! That’s right on April 23rd I turn the big 30. I started thinking about this over the weekend….it seems like just yesterday I was 29 and I made all these ‘do before your 30′ goals in my mind. I don’t really know if I achieved many of them since they are always changing around as the days progress. I mean I did get some definite stuff done like travel for the whole summer (a ’summer break’ if you will), I did some Kiteboarding in South Padre, I even lived on a boat.
As the big 30 approaches though, I started thinking of few last minute things I want to do. I can be one of those people that says ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ and before I know it a whole month will fly by and I won’t have it done. But I thought Feb. 23rd is a perfect day to make a list of things to do before I turn 30. This will give me a solid two months to accomplish them. Plus I want to start my 30s feeling good and motivated.
So I made a list of 10 things that I want to accomplish before I turn 30:
1. Mountain bike at least 4 different spots in CA (This is one of the things that i keep putting off, there is so much great trail riding to be done here and I want to experience some of it)
2. Learn to ride a skate board ( I have pretty much wanted to do this since I was 8 years old, better late then never…even though I’m sure it will be embarrassing.)
3. Do a running trail race (I want to start trail running, it so fun getting of the road, so I decided what better way to motivate me then to sign up for a trail race)
4. Hike anzaborrego desert state park (This is suppose to be a really sweet state park in Southern CA, I wanted to go there last time I lived here, but never did, this time I’m going to do it)
5. Read an adventure novel (Outside and Adventure magazine are always publishing the top classic adventure novels to read, I always go down the list and think I want to read one of these, but never do….what am I waiting for!)
6. Volunteer for beach clean up (I really believe you shouldn’t just take from a place that you live and have fun at, you should give too)
7. Learn to ride a dirt bike (Basically another thing I have wanted to do since I was 8, I’m sure I’ll be in class with a bunch of teenagers, should be fun!)
8. Do first two months of P90x (P90x is video workout, supposedly it pretty hardcore, I have had the videos for awhile but the plan is 90 days….so I always find an excuse not to do them…I figure if I start today I can get the first two months done and then easily finish the third one all before summer…no more excuses….I will blog about my experience with this program)
9. Get on a healthy balanced diet (Traveling makes you eat crappy, living on fast food and erratic meal times makes me feel like crud, but is an hard habit to break, I want to start eating balanced small meals through the day. I will keep a food diary to keep on track and get balanced eating plan)
10. Do 8 solid pull ups (I used to pump out pull ups all the time, but not lifting weights or hitting the gym very often has weakened me, right now I can’t do ONE. So I came up with the number 8; five seemed to easy and 10 felt to hard.)
So this is the big list, before I wrote it I came up with 30 things I wanted to do and then narrowed it down to 10 things I really wanted to do, were affordable and hopefully pratical.
Over the next two months I’ll be blogging about getting the list accomplished and going into my 30s feeling GREAT!
