30 Before 30

As requested by all my fans #blessed, here is my official 30 Before 30 list.

I started pulling together this list together around 3 years ago, back when completing a 5K seemed absurd let alone completing a marathon!

Some of these ‘goals’ are cliché, some are slightly ridiculous (no. 10 – please don’t judge. I still don’t think I have completed this, as I did have a fair amount of assistance.)

Apologies for the one that is marked as CONFIDENTIAL, I am not trying to be mysterious/really irritating! And no, it’s not vulgar/inappropriate/gross.

1. Complete a Half Marathon – DONE
2. Complete a Full Marathon – DONE
3. Complete an Ultra Marathon
4. Join a running club – DONE
5. Complete one of the Three Peaks Challenges – DONE
6. Get 1^st lady at ParkRun – DONE

15. Own one of the following dogs: Chow Chow, Great Pyrenees, Daschund, Old English Sheepdog (only if I have suitable accommodation and am in a secure enough financial position to do so. If you can’t afford to care for your pet, you shouldn’t get one.)
16. Host a massive dinner party. The mother of all dinner parties. How am I 27 and still unable to roast a chicken or poach an egg?! Basically, learn how to cook PROPERLY

Despite the multiple clichés, I am very content with this list. Am I missing anything essential?! Let me know your thoughts!

Also, if anyone has been to Iceland, any recommendations would be much appreciated!
