40 things to at 40: an update

Posted on by
  1. Run a 10K (I ran a 5K) Not sure if I’m going to run a 10K or not because I’ve discovered, I really don’t like running. But I do like walking, so maybe that’s the way to go.
  2. Train for and run a half-marathon. This is still a plan though I will be WALKING the half instead of running.
  3. Get a tattoo. Done and I love it!
  4. Visit a place I’ve never been before While in Florida, I climbed a lighthouse at Ponce Inlet. Had never been there, or even seen a lighthouse in person, so that counts….right?
  5. Get waxed Done and again, loved it!
  6. Meet with a financial planner
  7. See a professional (insert sport (preferably football) here) game

  12. Get a passport Not yet, but soon!
  13. Visit NY Sigh, this isn’t going to happen like I had hoped. Not yet anyway.

I think I’ve made a pretty good dent in my list, don’t you? I’ve got til March to finish this badboy up. I know there are a few things that probably won’t happen, but hey, a girl’s gotta try!

What do y’all think? Any ideas for the last few things I could try?
