31 Before 31

I am turning 30 on July 2nd, 2011. Since it is such a momentous birthday for me, I thought it was a good time to finally work toward accomplishing some of the goals I've had on my bucket list. However, I realized some of them are sort of lofty and will take a while to train for, so I'm giving myself an extra year. I have until July 2012 to accomplish all the things on my list. Join me during my journey!
