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.

Great list! I did 30 medals (half marathons/marathons/ultras/triathalons & cycle sportives) before 30 🙂

Nice list! Never been to Iceland, but (possibly) instead, I’d recommend viewing the Northern Lights whilst staying in the Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland (200km inside the Arctic Circle). One of my best ever experiences. And finding out what your no, 25 is, has just made it into my top 50 list!
