40?

After doing my April Review/looking ahead to May the other day, I started reading a magazine. It had an article about 40 things to do to keep you looking younger. Between the 2, I started thinking.

Last year, my friend Tracie decided she was making a list... 40 things to do before she turned 40. Well she turned 40 in March. She didn't finish her list, but extended it for while she's 40.

Then I did the math. Not loving this fact, but I'll be 40 in 40 months. SO.... I am making a list of my own.

40 things to do that I have never done in the 40 months before I turn 40.

I can't come up with enough things! LOL! I've done so much in the past couple of years, so deciding on another 40 things I've never done is really hard. I have less than 15 and I've spent over an hour on it. This is harder than I thought.

I'll have to spend more time on this and decide on 40 things I want to try. Skydiving, bungi jumping, run Boston in under 4 1/2 hours, become a certified trainer, do a triathlon, go to the trapeze school are just a few on the short list. But now I'm stuck. Most at this point are fitness related, which I guess makes sense, since that's a HUGE focus in my life. I just need more things I've never done!

Funny, in 2009 when my new years resolution was to do 2 things each month outside of my comfort zone, I could never have imagined that 2 years later I would have a goal to run in the Boston Marathon AGAIN and this time to finish in under 4 1/2 hours! At that time my goal was to run a 5K all the way through without stopping! How far have I come in just 2 short years?

The focus of my life has completely changed. I have never in my life been this healthy or this fit. I have surrounded myself with people who either have heath as a focus or are working to have it be a big focus.

I'm really happy with the direction of my life. I don't know if I have ever been this happy with where I am. I've met so many personal goals, I have such great people around me who support me. I spend time doing things I love with people who's company I enjoy.

Life is just really really good! If it changed this much in just 2 years, I can't imagine what the next 2 are going to look like!
