Talvi Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Epic Quests of 2016 This is a roadmap of what I want to accomplish over the coming year: new experiences, different projects, less excuses and more adventure! Let's begin... Physical Run the 26.2 miles (hopefully the Paris marathon) Done in 04:47 on 3rd April 2016! Learn to roller blade (especially how to stop safely) Not as confident as I'd like but I've learnt a few methods for stoping/slowing during Summer 2016. Roller blade around the centre of Paris on one of the biweekly randonnées roller Did participate in one in June, yet I wasn't good enough to last longer than 2km.

SymphonicDan Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Ooh, this is such a good epic quest - good luck with it all There are so many things you list where I'm like "ooh, me too!" although I won't try introducing your boyfriend to your grandparents. That would just be awkward haha. Is your long sabbatical adventure for after you finish your PhD?
