30 Things To Do Before 30, And More Lists

So, I made my list finally. It is of 30 things I want to do before turning 30. I got some suggestions from people on fb and here, and I took some and I am keeping some as future references for goals, but this is the list. I want to mention that I reserve the right to remove any of these that I want as long as I replace it with something that I I want to do even more. Don't judge if that happens - you are here to support me, not judge. Without further ado, here is the list:

1.       Run another 5k – get a better time than before

2.       Run a 10k

3.       Re-read the BoM

4.       Re-read the Bible
