I found a book "101 Things To Do Before You Turn 40." And while it seems like fun for the girl with no kids (or husband), many of the ideas just aren't feasible for me anymore. I think my husband would protest if I made out with the best man or dated a 25 year-old. My kids probably wouldn't understand if I took a sabbatical, although sometimes I threaten to runaway. The book has lots of great (some rather vague) ideas too.
My 40th birthday is 578 days away. I want to embrace it and celebrate, not be one of those who dread the day.
The big thing on my list so far is to compete in the Pikes Peak Ascent http://www.pikespeakmarathon.org/ . Because of new qualifications (a 1/2 marathon time sub 2:30) I have to wait until 2009 to complete this item. No worries, the 2009 Ascent is scheduled for the day before I turn 40.
This is my list so far:
1. Compete in 1/2 marathon (time sub 2:30)
2. Compete in Pikes Peak Ascent
Now I need your help. What is on your list? What have you accomplished that makes you proud? What is one thing you think everyone should try?
I will review the ideas and post them regularly (giving you credit of course). Thanks for your help and check back regularly!
