30 Before 30 Update

Nearly a year has gone by since I decided to make my 30 Before 30 list, so I thought I would do a little update on what I have accomplished so far.

1. Get married
Yup, that happened on August 3rd and soon I will have all the pictures to prove it! Until then you will just have to be happy with this one.

It was a fun wedding...in case you couldn't tell!

17. Do a handstand

I have overcome my fears of throwing my legs over my head and was able to get my first handstand thanks to my awesome coach at CrossFit! I don't know why I was so silly about handstands to begin with, but now I'm able to do them against a wall. My next goal will be to do an unassisted handstand (no wall) and a handstand push up!

22. Complete a fun run

I have now completed two fun runs...well, I'm not sure many people would call Tough Mudder a "fun run", but I think I can count it here! So I completed Tough Mudder back in April with my CrossFit peeps and Memorial Day weekend I took part in the Color Run!

29. Go zip-lining
A and I had a day of fun filled zip-lining adventure while we were on our honeymoon!

Pictures and video coming soon

Others on my list that I am close to completing:

4. Travel to 10 new states - We spent the day in Miami on our way back from our honeymoon. So, 1/10 complete.

7. Travel to 2 new countries - St. Lucia for our honeymoon. 1/2 way there!

12. Complete an Olympic distance triathlon - signed up for the Marin County Triathlon on November 2! Wish me luck!

18. Be able to do 20 unassisted pull-ups - I'm so close to getting my first unassisted pull up...working towards that every time I'm in the gym!

20. Lose & maintain a healthy weight - also on my way with this one. The wedding was a pretty good motivator, and I've adopted a mainly Paleo/Whole 30ish lifestyle. That really helps me. 

23. See a Broadway play - Can you believe I've never been to New York city!? Hopefully we can make a trip out there sometime soon.

Color Dash

Kyleen and I - Before and After!

While Andrew was away on his Bachelor party river rafting the American river, I signed myself up for the Color Dash with my friend Kyleen! 

All nice and clean

Before we went for our run

Before we started the dash, we ran into some of our friends from Captain CrossFit! A few of us got a little heavy handed dishing out color...as you can see I was hardly hit!

Trailhead

The Color Dash followed the 5k trail at Brownlow in Prescott. I had no idea this trail even existed, but I'm very happy I found it. I'm definitely going to go back and run it again! There were a ton of hills, but the trail has both a 5k and a 10k loop, which will be perfect for my training.

Start/Finish line

Kyleen and I finished the dash in pretty good time. We saw some friends along the trail and just had a good time chatting (when we had breath)! 

A little dash of color

Kyleen got a lot more color than I did!

Our friends got a little more color than we did!

Meeting up after the run

Our friend's son decided I didn't get nearly enough coloring on me, so he proceed to throw his whole bag of yellow pigment on me right after this photo was taken! You can see him plotting back there!

Captain CrossFit crew!

Here we are with some of the CrossFit women that showed up! Overall it was a super fun day and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is wanting to take part in a fun run. It's not at all competitive, so grab some friends and sign up for one in your town.
