CJ's 40: OUCH!

OUCH!

Well, first adult taekwondo class is over and I am starting to get my legs back together. M was sick so she did not go with me - yes, I am holding that against her for a little while. We did one hour of these so called "hard-core stretches", I had no idea my body could move in that direction. One positive is that I can reach over and touch my toes at any time now, so I can finally check off the first item on my list. Only 39 more to go...

What is CJs 40?

I woke up a couple of weeks ago and realized I was less than a week away from being 37 years old (see first post). I got to thinking about how fast the first half had gone and that I still had quite a few things I wanted to accomplish before I got into my forties. So now I am trying to squeeze in my top 40 goals to reach within 3 years. I decided to publish this blog for anyone who cares to see how my progress is coming - part of my goals is to be more "open" and less reserved. So follow me on my journey and please post any ideas or comments you may have along the way. Thanks, CJ

The Disclaimer

You will probably notice some of the items on my list seem a little corny, weird, dangerous, or down right stupid. Some people might even find a few of them cruel. I can't explain why I want to do some of these (i.e. holding snake, riding bull), but they are there none the less. I am sure there would be things on your list that I would not understand, so please do not be too quick to judge. This is my journey and if you want to tag along, then great, if not, there is a button at the top left of your browser...
