Turning 23 doesn’t seem extremely monumental, but I would like to think of this as a Big year. For the first time in my life I LIVE in a city. I mean, my address includes the words “Washington, DC’. I love that, more than words do justice!

So, 23, what are we going to do together?

I have no idea.

**********

In the meantime, we’ll get to know each other. Maybe we’ll even check a few All  of these things off the list….

1) Run a MARATHON

2) PR in the 10K

3) Pass the RD exam!

4) Have a drink with my little Sis’ in DC

5) Learn to like the taste of Red wine

6) Learn how to pronounce more types of White wine, so I can order a variety when “out”! (I’ll only order it if I can pronounce it….)

7) Run a race (or two…three…four…) in a NEW state

8 ) Take a Salsa dancing class. Being from the Southwest, I should just know how to do it, right? Right.

9) Get a J-O-B (preferably one that comes with a paycheck……)

10) Watch one of my Best Friends get married

11) Travel to NYC. Even if it’s just for the day…..

12) PR in the half-marathon distance.

13) Treat the toes to at least one pedicure. They deserve it!

14) Taste test a GU, while on a Run.

15) Volunteer for Girls On The Run, because how amazing is this organization?! Right, I know.

16) Help the baby Sis train for her FIRST half-marathon! (Currently making her training plan.)

17) RUN in the rain. I want to go all-out; I want a downpour; I want to leave the Garmin at home and just feel like a bada$$ because I’m soaked and I just finished 5 miles.

18) Run a sub 6:30 mile. It’s in these legs…somewhere…..

19) Complete a TRAIL race – anything that’s considered “off road”.

20) Sign up for a race with a family member

21) Coordinate a Blogger meet up for a race/run/SOMETHING

22) Keep running and blogging
