A couple not-gonna-happens

Well, the last post said things Lemon Lopez has forced, here are some things that won't happen because of that life change.

#19.  2014 Half Marathon -- I take the winter off from running, and can't imagine dragging a belly for a 2 hr jog.  And you need 8 weeks (? I think) after delivery to start again, soooo that calendar isn't going to work out.  2015 though, I'm looking at you!

Can you imagine?  I just kind of ... can't.  Maybe 1-3 miles, but 13-26??

#20.  Full Marathon -- I wasn't even sure I really ever WANTED to do another one of these, but I needed 101 items!  See, reasons above for how the calendar's just not going to work out.

Turtle!  I'd totally spaz out (I always do.)

#52.  Get SCUBA certified.  We hemmed and hawed on this one, we like snorkeling and SCUBA certification is like a 6 step/day process (book work, pool training, then open water at a destination).  We wanted to do it near a time we'd be going on a vacation to use it and... just never got it together.  SCUBA messes w/ your blood oxygen which is a no go for growing baybays, so... not gonna happen this year.  Some day still though. :)

#69.  They don't have blood drives here, darn it!  Ok, well, I'm sure they do, but in the past 800 days (or however many it's been), I saw ONE and it was two days before a race - not a good idea.  And now, a no go.  I WILL find a way to do this in the future, but a lame no check.  However, my initial blood work was 11 vials!  The tech didn't even have enough spots in her test tube rack for me!  So that almost counts...

#70.  Play blackjack in Vegas.  Oops.  I'm a chicken.  We've been like 5 times in the past 3 years and have talked about it when we're there, but I'm scared.  I admit it.  I don't think I'll ever do this one.  I'll throw my money away on alcohol & shopping rather than handing it straight to the casino!

Couple others look unlikely, but I won't X them just yet -- that seems like a long list of no-go's!  I'll focus on the positive: less to check off in the next few months!
