It’s been about 2 months since I finalized My 35 for 35 list. Here is a Holiday Season update on how I’m progressing so far.
11. Learn to Swim – That’s right! Mr. Obstacle Racer (yes, I just gave myself my own nickname) is incapable of swimming. I’ve found a nice quiet pool, close to my home that maybe no one will recognize me at. I hope they offer lessons! My goal is, by the next obstacle race I run, I will be able to complete any swimming obstacle without water wings!
12. Learn to Play a Musical Instrument – I took the easy road and went with the guitar as my instrument of choice. Before you cast the first stone, let me tell you just how easy the road is that I took. Oh yes, that’s right, to learn to play the guitar, I will be taking the Rocksmith 60-day challenge!
13. Become a Certified Fitness Coach – After consulting my current trainer, Karl MacPhee, I’ve decided to take the Crossfit Level1 certification as the entry point into fitness coaching. I’m scheduled to attend this certification program on the third weekend of January.
14. Take Dance Lessons – One major problem here, you usually need a dance partner to take dance lessons. Not mandatory but definitely makes the experience more fun. I have a feeling this one and number 10 may have some crossover. If it was you, what type of dance lessons would you take?
15. Learn to Say “Thank You” in 10 Different Languages – So far, I have learned to say “Thank You” in Spanish, Italian, Korean, and German. Only 6 more to go!
16. Travel to Chicago to Watch a Baseball Game at Wrigley Field – Who wants to go with me?!?!?
17. Get a Tattoo – I have the design picked out. Now I just need to decide where on my body I want to get it and then find a good tattoo artist. Any suggestions?
The next #tattoo. Where should I get it? A sleeve? Reaching up from my chest into my left shoulder? Other suggestions? via realscottweller
18. Take 1 Photo Each Day for a Year – Commencing on January 1, 2014, I have a feeling this will not be a problem. Stay tuned to my Instagram feed!
19. Be an Extra in a Movie or TV Show – A friend from the gym and I have just applied for The Canadian Amazing Race. Would that qualify for a check mark here?
20. Write a Children’s Book – I’m working on this one but I’m going to hold off on an update until I have some significant news to share.
Stay tuned for the update on items 21-30 tomorrow.
