27 Things To Do Before 27
It was just over a year ago that I started okAWESOME. I had just turned 25 and my life needed to change. At first it was hard to write down and share my thoughts. However, it didn’t take long to break out of my shell and feel comfortable sharing my experiences on this blog.
My intention for this blog has been the same since day one, to chronicle my journey from fat to fit. One of the things that I did early on was to make a sort of bucket list. I say “sort of” because looking back at it, it really wasn’t much of a bucket list.
So, I’ve created a new list. The focus of this new list is to do the 27 things on the list before I turn 27. That gives me 350 days, as of this posting, until my next birthday to complete the list.
Without further ado and in no particular order here is my 27 Things To Do Before 27 list:
- Run a 10k without stopping
- Beat my time of 1:24:20 for a 10k (my time for the 2010 Underwear Affair, my first 10k)
- Run a total of 100 miles
- Hike the Chief and the Grouse Grind
- Complete the Grouse Grind in less than 1 hour
- Get another tattoo
- Go skydiving
- Bike a Century (100 miles in one day)
