"30 before 30" Update

I've had several friends and family members ask me how things are going with my list. I've slowly continued to tackle as many of my goals as possible and have felt quite accomplished along way! :)

1.)Complete a half marathon-COMPLETED on May 29,2010 *8:30 miles (Bayshore Marathon)
2.)Serve on a non-profit board of directors-Just completed my first year of a three yr term.
3.)Lector at church-Rehearsed with Father Jerry but have yet to get on the schedule.
4.)Skydive again-Scheduled to Jump with my mom and 2 of my favorites on July 8th over the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City.
5.)Volunteer the same # of hours that I spend shopping each year-I'm recently volunteered with St Jude and the MI Blood Program.
6.)Enjoy as many simple pleasures in life as possible-Searching everyday and have realized that it's pretty easy to do.
7.)Scuba dive once a year-Hope to dive in the GT Bay this summer and then in Mexico next Spring.
8.)Do something for someone else at least once a day-I make a consious effort.
9.)Compete in the Iceman-Signed up to complete in Nov 2010

13.)Race a 10k-Completed this in early May of 2010 in Grand Rapids, MI (River Bank Run) *8:25 miles
14.)Read more-I'm made an valient effort to read more for pleasure vs just readin forwork -The Shack, Women, Work, and The Art of Savior Faire, Gift from the Sea, The Bible, etc.
15.)Ski outwest once a year-Traveled to Summit County to stay with my friends (The Pearsons) with my friend Libby in March 2010.
..... and so on!

I have a few more goals that I hope to fulfill over the next few months. This process has been quite a learning experience as a majority of the above has forced me to challenge myself to go way outside of my comfort zone! Good Luck with everything you set out to do!!! :)
