It has been so long since I have been able to post anything about the list or life, mostly because of laziness, but here is an update! I was able to cross three more items off of my list which is exciting:
#73 Win a game of scrabble.
This one was of those items that I figured was unreachable and I would spend countless attempts trying to conquer, but I didn't win one game, I won two! No I didn't play against a bunch of 3rd graders (they probably would have beat me, those kids are smart!), I played with my mom, my sister and my fiance, some of the smartest people I know! Being realistic, I am pretty sure that they all let me win, because I am no word whiz by any stretch, so thanks for humoring me girls!
#78 Get an internship
This one was a huge relief, because if I wasn't able to find one, I would have been up a creek and probly wouldn't graduate for another semester! I am really excited about it too, mostly because I will be done with classes in May and the internship is the final stretch before graduation! The first half of it will be at a PT clinic in Ft. Collins, CO. I can't wait to spend two months in the town voted best place to live, with the Rocky Mountains next door and great biking and recreation all around! The second half will be here in town so I can get ready for graduation, the wedding and look for jobs.
#99 Give myself permission to change any of these because life happens sometimes.
Well I guess life is happening all the time, but regardless, I wanted the freedom to give and take. I added #35 Complete a half marathon under 2 hours and 10 minutes. I will be doing the Vancouver half marathon on June 26th and going for a personal record (PR) of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 59 seconds or faster! I have run two half marathons previously at 2:26 and 2:17, so I am hoping to shave 7 minutes off my time.
#34 on my list was to run a 5K under 24 minutes. My previous PR was 27 minutes (with Nicole in the Turkey Day 5K in Charleston). I ran a 5k last Sunday hoping just for a PR of any time with an outside hope of breaking 24 minutes. I ran it with a friend, who I also trained with a few times, urged me to go for 24. The race was really fun and relaxed (only 23 runners) consisting of a couple laps around a block on campus. I ran a 24:12, a mere 12 seconds off!! It was so close to the big time goal, but it was still a PR by almost three minutes (thanks for pacing me Vince!).
