It’s time for another installment of what I’ve accomplished on my 30 before 30 list. Here we go!
6. Do a Multi Day Bike Tour: MM and I did a two-day bike tour across Cape Cod last summer and it was such a beautiful, unique experience. I’d love to do another ride like this in the future.
7. Host a Dinner Party: I hosted a Friendsgiving this year, so fun! Maybe I’ll make this an annual event.
8. Run a Half Marathon or Marathon in a city besides NYC: In 2013 I ran the Providence Rock n Roll half with 3 friends. I really loved traveling to a new city, having a little time to explore and making a fun girls weekend out of it (plus I got a PR!). When you get super comfortable running half marathons, traveling for them becomes a really fun way to see a new place. I haven’t been running much but am trying to get back into it and would love to do another half in a new location. Last year I also did a half in Philly which was great because I got to catch up with an old friend (hi Becky!) and run a pretty course. I didn’t see too much of the city because of serious rain but still had a great time!
9. Get an Article Published: With blogging I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to a few sites. Originally I put this on my list to get something published in print but never actually pitched anything. Something to consider doing, especially because I already work for a magazine 🙂
10. Run a 4 mile race under an 8 minute pace: To guarantee my spot in the NYC Marathon I did NYRR 9+1, meaning I ran 9 shorter distance races in one year. Because of this, I was able to work on my speed and get my best race time at a 7:52 pace.
