19 for 2019 – One Third Through

More than one third through the year and that just flew by! I’m not so sure how I have done on my list so lets take a look…

1. Run a 10k in an 8:30 pace.
   • Pssh…we’ve started running again so there is that. I have run 10k one time total and that was with a stop at the playground. My joints still feel loose and running is still pretty touch and go but at least we can now run with the jogging stroller.
2. Break 140 watts in my 45-minute cycle class.
   • Haven’t been cycling lately, trying to do more strength activities instead.
3. Read 10 books.
   • I’ve read one and started another. Need to get back on this bandwagon.
4. Learn to play a song on the guitar.
   • Yikes!
5. Make 6 girls events happen.
   • We’ve had one so far (counting Carina’s baby shower). I have another one that I am tentatively planning in the next month and I am going to count my mom’s PEPS happy hour as another…so that makes TWO.
6. Be able to do 5 pull ups/chin ups (if not at once, at least in the same day).
   • Well, I used to not be able to do even one and now I can do one so that is some progress.
7. Visit or spend time with Chad.
   • Chad came to visit us and although it was short it was sweet and I’ll take it.
8. Do 10 hikes.
   • We’ve done two that I will count: one in Arizona over Christmas and one in Eagle with Mark and Kim.
9. Go on a vacation just the three of us (at least a total of 5 nights throughout the year).
10. Visit 5 new restaurants to try.
    • There have been four we have tried: Cantina Lena, Red Cow, Nue, and Junebaby.
11. Baby proof and de-clutter the house.
    • We’ve certainly made progress but still have some work to go.
12. Go to a concert.
    • I have tickets for the Fitz and the Tantrums concert in August but we plan to attend another for a date night in the near future.
13. Re-learn our lindy hop dance.
14. Get in one self-care day/night per month.
    • I’ve done pretty good on this with a few massages and a few mani-pedis (all thanks to Groupon)
15. Get in one date day/night per month.
    • I’d say we have done okay with this too. We have attended all of our Seattle Rep plays, have had a dinner out just the two of us, and got some time just the two of us for both Claire and Amy’s weddings.
16. Limit social media and cell phone usage to 30 minutes every night after 5 pm.
    • Most days I have done well with this. There have only been a handful of days where I have spent too much time on my phone.
17. Become more involved with our church beyond attendance
18. Get Reese a passport
19. Eat dinner at the table at least once a week.
    • I’m pleased with how we have done with this so far. It helps that baby girl is now eating real foods in her high chair along with us.
