I'm doing 17 things
Soo, as 2009 draws to a close I thought it would be nice to take a look back at what ive been doing with the 20s.
I did go to Ecuador and it was soo great. I re met old friends and met new ones and saw so many neat things. I loved the islands and meeting my little cousins who had not been born since the last time I was there. There has been no progress on the wedding plans but that is somethings I am coming more to peace with, our priority is mostly focused on getting him into the same city with me! Then the wedding can be taken care of. I’ve also been doing more thinking about me, the kind of person I am, or choose to be, the ways I choose to fight and the social norms I choose to conform to. Its been a tough task but I feel better for it. Also, coming up to the end of this year my time capsule is due to be opened… I put it together 10 years ago in high school and now it is due to be opened and Im a little scared. Not sure why but maybe some sort of fear of disapointing my much younger self. However, bold women in their 20s do open their timecapsules and so I will. Im also considering making another one and putting it away for another 10 years.

How I did it: I got on a plane headed south. I opened my mind to the possibilities. I was prepared for the worst but open to the rest. I was amazed by the capacity of love to overcome 11 years and many miles. I spoke my own language and dreamed in it. I returned home sad. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Slowly but surely, a little bit each week. Though admittedly it was easier this time around b/c it was a renewal and not a full application.:):) Read how I did it…
Originally I had wanted to run a marathon but now I truly understand how long that is and how much it entails so to fit to my life and goal the goal is now to run a 5k. I’ve been working on it for a while… and I see improvement but I know im in no way ready to run a true race however I no longer feel like puking after running for 15 min. Thus, there is progress :)
Currently,I run on the treadmill as it is too cold out and Im running 1.5 miles in about 25 min which is 2.4 km. This is comfortable but im working on increasing my speed and lengthening my stride and my time.
