35 by 35

In 2013, I will turn 35. If you know me, then you know that 35 is my favorite number... and my guess is that it is going to be an awesome year.

I kind of missed the whole 30 by 30 craze... because I am a wee-bit older than others. But I still wanted to participate in the fun, so I am making a 35 by 35 list.

(Side note: I started this list a few months ago, and got side-tracked by life. So some of these things I have already accomplished because they were just things I wanted to do!) 

1. Participate in a 5K, or half-marathon, or both! (Signed up for the Neverland Fun Run in 1/2013) Completed 1/19/13
2. Tour Alcatraz Island. 
3. Play a solo on my saxophone in front of people.

There are a few ideas on here that are not my favorite, but they are doable in less than 12 months. Any suggestions out there? I would be okay with doing some trade-zies. This can be a living document that you can help recreate! :) Don't be shy.... what would be on your list?
