So a couple months ago I made a quick list of things to get done before I was 30 years old. I only had about two months to get the items done, so I did not get everything accomplished, but some things are better than nothing. Here is another look at the list and what went down.
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) GOT THIS ONE DONE! Biked Sweetwater, Florida Canyon, Mission Trails and Tri Canyon.
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.) CHECK! Bought A Sector 9 Skate board and started practice riding it.
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) FAIL! Never gotta around to doing this, p90x and Mountain biking took up too much time.
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) NOPE, never got around to driving all the way out there from San Diego.
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!) FAIL again Ha, this one was just due to complete laziness, I have no great excuses for failing this one.
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) Sad to Say Nope.
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!) No! I really wanted to do this but the classes were too expensive to take right now.
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) Partial Pass! I got about 40 some days into the program and then I caught a cold that hung on for a couple weeks, kinda made me push pause for awhile, then when I felt better I started really getting into Mt Biking. Great program, plan to finish it off shortly.
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) YES! For Two months I kept a food journal and ate in balance; So many carbs, proteins, fats a day.
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.) NO! I think I would have got a lot closes to this goal if I would have finsihed off p90x I started the program, by doing no pullups to being able to pump out three solid ones.
