lovin’ me some…31 things.

for the next 31ish days, this blog will be hijacked.

insert blood-curdling scream

yes. you heard right. hijacked.

(not that much blogging has been going on here as of late…but i digress…)

you see, my friend jara is doing a 31-days till summer challenge. you can read more about it here.

the jist of the challenge is to select 31 things i want to do in the next 31 days. and do them. and share them. and share my results.

simple, right?

if only there were an easy button for life.

mayhaps.

this is the busiest time of year for me at work and health and all that generally takes a backseat to afternoon naps and meals on the go. add to that general life stress (where to live, what to do, where to go) — it’s not pretty folks.

but for j, i guess i’ll have to suck it up and do 31 things: some i already do, some i plan to do and never do, and some i don’t want to ever do.

for the record, here are my 31 things.

1. Run at least three times a week.
2. Work up to running 30 minutes without a break.
3. Take a class at the YMCA.
4. Blog (at least) once a week about my 31 things.
