30 before 30 - Thursday Thoughts

After doing my "Someday I will..." post yesterday, it made me think with my 28th Birthday on Sunday, I'm going to be 30 in two short years and there has to be things I want to accomplish/do before I turn 30. So, this brings you to my 30 before 30 post of today. By November 3, 2016, I want to have completed the following 30 things (and I'll update you all along the way!) :

1. Become a Mom to a 2nd child
2. Hit and maintain my goal weight of 135 lbs
3. Lot 1000 miles in walking/running
4. Go to an all-inclusive adults only resort
5. Get 50 'official' followers between Blogger/BlogLovin (hint, hint loyal leaders)
6. Complete 6 half marathons
7. Beat my PR half marathon time (2:39:23)

12. Run 20 races (5k, 10k, half, etc)
13. Volunteer at GKTW 5 times

22. Complete EM's 1st year photo book
23. If we have baby #2 by my 29th birthday, complete daily photo collages for baby's 1st year of life (I haven't missed a day yet with EM but everyone keeps saying "I bet you won't do this for your next child, I am going to prove them wrong!)
24. Blog at least once a week (hopefully more!)
25. Take a trip to NY and visit family
26.  Have a date night, once a month with G

29.  Run/Walk and pick EM up from school (day care) and run/walk home
30.  Bike at least 30 miles in one day. (the most I’ve ever done is around 14)

While I was putting this together, I thought of so many more things I want to do that I know won't be possible in the next 2 years (budget constraints, plan to be pregnant, vacation days, etc) so I decided to also make my 40 before 40 list today as well.
