I'm not the most adventurous person. Occasionally, I'll order something new off the menu or take a different route to a familiar destination. But other than that, I pretty much stay with the tried and true. Boring, right? I suppose so. But it's my life, and I'll choose my adventures.
Here are five things I've never done ... along with some thoughts on whether or not I want that to change.
- Skydiving
A few of my friends have done this and had a blast. I'm intrigued but also a little bit scared. I'd probably try it if I got the chance.
- Ran a marathon
I've done several 5Ks, an 8K, a few 10Ks, and a half-marathon. I feel like 13.1 might be as far as I can go. But ten years ago, I would have said I'll never be a runner, so ... you never know.
- Traveled out of the country
I definitely want to change this. And since one of my closest friends is aiming at a destination wedding, I might have a good excuse to get a passport.
- Gone camping
I've slept in a camper in a friend's driveway, but I've never really done the whole roughing it thing. And I don't know that I want to either. I like wi-fi, Netflix, and indoor plumbing. A lot.
- Swam in the ocean
I've put my feet in, but that's as far as I've gone. I have this weird thing about not wanting to be in water when I can't see the bottom, but if I can find a super clear body of water, I'm in!
What are some things you haven't done? Do you plan to?
I live near the coast in California, so I've definitely swam in the ocean, but to a degree I know what you mean. I have my own idiosyncrasies about it do. I can't swim at certain beaches because I CAN see what's beneath me, and I don't want it touching me.
ReplyDeleteSkydived: no.
ReplyDeleteRan a marathon: yes.
Travelled to another country: yes.
Swam in the ocean: more like got dragged into it by a rogue wave.
I, too, have a thing about getting in the ocean, especially if the water is "murky." I think it's a side effect of having watched Jaws too many times. I have no problem with clear, blue water.
ReplyDeleteI went primitive camping once, and by primitive I mean there was no electricity and the bathhouse was a fairly good hike away. It was an experience, but my opinion is that it is over rated. Kudos to folks to who love to rough it, though!
I love your attitude about the marathon ;) As for skydiving...that's one that I don't ever need to cross off my list!
