I'm doing 31 things
I haven’t even gotten to five.. in fact, the most I’ve done is three, and that was half walking. But yesterday I walked fifteen miles—I was amazed at myself for not getting tired (I didn’t sit down and I just kept on going for eight hours!) .. it’s weird cuz when I run, my toes hurt. My foot’s shaped weirdly, I need to buy more comfortable shoes. My toenails are also weird, even though I clip them, they dig into my skin. It’s freaky and annoying.

How I did it
It made me
empowered & awesome 
How I did it: I'd wanted to do it for years-- since high school at least-- but back then, I said I'd do it when I turned 30. Then, I said I'd do it before I turned 30-- 29. Then, I said I'd do it when I graduated college. Then, I said I'd do it on my birthday... and I did!Part of the impetus for me to do it now was that I'd read all the testimonials on 43things on how empowering and liberating it was.

How I did it: I've had this goal for FOUR years.First year, I joined track but didn't really feel passionate about running when I was told what to do.Second and third year, I ran occasionally. Maybe fewer than 5 times each year.Fourth year (this one!)... halfway through, I actually stuck to it and started running again. And LOVED it. And I am happy to run.I'd still been procrastinating on this goal, though. I felt there was a threshold I had to pass. O… Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I'm realizing today that I can check "Live my dreams" off of my list. Most of the things on my list are vague and wishy-washy anyway, but I realize now that I AM living my dreams. My most basic want, desire, wish in life was simply to be happy. I'm happy. Now I can move on to bigger, greater things. I won't leave this world untarnished (I use the word "tarnish" in the most positive of ways). Read how I did it…
