So there it is… I have over 7 years to accomplish these goals. I think I can do it! These are all things that (a) I’ve never done before, or (b) I want to do again before I'm 30.

The goal accomplishing starts today, so even if I’ve done something (like to go a Giants game), I can’t cross it off my list until I do it again.

I’ll try to blog about each of my goals as I complete them.

# 35 have your back problems corrected..

have you ever been to a podiatrist? simply things like getting your feet checked might help your back problems. You may need orthotics- if your feet need help it effects your knees, hips and back as well.

hope this helps
