Birthday List Beginnings

When I turned 30, I decided to make a list of 30 things that I had not done that I wanted to try to accomplish in my 30th year. After all, life is short, and I want to go out knowing that I truly LIVED the life that I had.
That year's amazing experiences, adventures, and fun times make me want to keep the list going. I've decided to use this blog space to document the adventures...and to update and add to the list each year.
To see what I've accomplished, click on the archive links on the right to go to specific items from the list in order of the date they were accomplished. New, partially accomplished, or not started items can be found under "November 2011," since I have the year to work on them.
Let me know what adventures you'd like to join me in! You can use the "comment" function to leave me notes. I hope I inspire you to create a list of your own...let me know and if you need someone to join you in your adventures. I'll probably be up for it!

Run in a 5K

The truth is that I've never really liked to run. However, after tearing my ACL, my PT got me started running and now I feel like I should give it a shot. So here it goes!

Take a knife skills Class

I've always been terrified of cutting my fingers, which makes me a very clumsy cook in the kitchen, so I thought a knife skills class might come in handy. :)

Cook's Warehouse offers this class.

Visit Yosemite National Park

I've heard from so many people that Yosemite is amazing, so I've got to see it for myself. Friends have hiked the half dome and I'm hoping to hike it with them the next time.

Ski Mont Blanc

When I was little, we went on a trip to Chamonix, France...and I heard stories from some of the skiers about their adventures skiing the glacier and navigating the crevasses of Vallee Blanches...so I've added it to the list.

Take Ice Skating Lessons

When I was in middle school I took ice skating lessons, learned the basics, but my crossovers are still pretty week. I'd like to take lessons again and get more comfortable and learn some fancier maneuvers.

Learn to be more confident alone at a bar

The fact that I can never get the bar tender's attention is part of this, but I also think there is some real skill involved in looking cool and confident at a bar.

Go Heliskiing

The perfect way to get to perfect powder. I hear that Mike Wiegele is the best, so I'd love to try that...but any will do. I also found Mica Heliskiing which also looks cool.
