1. Run a 5k
I did it! Today! I cannot believe I can cross this number one off my list. I did "Run for the L of it" at Fourth Street Live. It was pouring down rain at about five this morning, I was afraid (but also kind of looking forward) that we'd have to run in the rain. But the weather turned out perfectly - clear, cool, and sunny.
I was honestly just hoping to make it through without stopping to walk, and maybe make it in under 30 minutes. But I did much better than I thought I would - with a time of 26:35 (26 minutes and 35 seconds). Which makes me believe that an eight minute mile is within reach, and makes running the Derby mini-marathon seem that much more feasible.

Thanks for letting me know about this, Thomas, and great job to you as well! You're amazing, you should be proud!

I saw quite a few people there who I know: Marian, Thad, Andre, Joe, Kate, Lance... Great job everyone!

15. Go camping
Both Erin and Carrie have said that they would be up for going to Red River Gorge some weekend this summer? Is anyone else interested? Hmmm. I know nothing about camping... but I'm determined to go.
