29-my last year in the 20's

[kie_fujo]

i turned 29 today. no age has really bothered me. even 29 doesn't. but i really think 30 will. not that i think 30 is old, because it's not by any means, but it's just not a 20something anymore. this is my last year and i have so much to accomplish before i hit that milestone. not only will i turn 30 next year, so will my husband and we will have our 10 year anniversary. (our 9 year anniversary is tomorrow.) it will be a big year.

yeah.
i'm 29 too. Old age is a pitch
Come back and look at this post in 10 years, maybe even five.

I turn 30 on Monday and even just a year ago, I felt the same way you do right now. It's really crazy how things can change in a year. In the past year I made a cross country move, changed jobs, found out my best friend was knocked up w/ husband's baby , got divorced, met the man of my dreams, lost 45 lbs, moved in with the man of my dreams, and decided to train for a century. I'm happier now than I have ever been as an adult and cant wait for my thirties!

What I'm trying to say is that even possibly 1 year from now, you might look back on your post and see what a different place you were in.

Happy Birthday, by the way!!!

Oh man. I'm 44 and I am so much happier now than I was at 29. I rode my first century at 39 and did my best ride ever (70 miles with steep hills) last month.

I remember reading an article a few years ago about a Space Shuttle crew that had just returned to earth after a flight. The captain was in his mid-50s.

Dara Torres is what, 41? And winning medals in the Olympics and posing her hot bod in a bikini.

Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Robert Plant and Willie Nelson all qualify for the AARP but they're still performing.

Clint Eastwood is in his 80s and still making great movies. Harrison Ford is playing Indiana Jones in his 60s.

It is so not over when you turn 30.

p.s. to ASammy1: Holy cow!

I turned 30 this year...29 was a hard one...I just embraced 30, celebrate it!! You are young!!

I have embraced and celebrated 30, I am young and in shape and enjoying my life more than ever...my twenty somethings I felt were so confusing and full of turmoil...I am a little older, a little wiser, more confident, and know what I want from life....besides it's fun to whiz by a 20-something on a road ride...

Embrace it and Celebrate!!!

30 was pretty anti-climactic for me . . . my mom started telling me I was almost 30 when I turned 25!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday.

Oh, I was never so happy as to kiss 29 goodbye. What a miserable, dreadful year.

I'll be hitting 41 in a few days. I'm slowly coming to the realization that I will no longer be "40" but "in my 40's". Blech. Sure, I'm in a much better place now, but still...

I'll be hitting 41 in a few days.

You're positively decrepit

I was also fairly happy to leave my 20s behind. I did quite a few things that I'm not especially proud of during that decade. Great times for sure, but also pretty low stuff. Since I've been in my 30s (9 months!) it's been all good.

Oh, to have 29 again . . . I'm 48. I'm wiser and ride with more determination, but I sure wish I had my age 29 bikie body. I kinda took it for granted at the time. Now I'm paying more attention to the care and maintenance of all the parts, and I am thankful for every single day I feel healthy and strong. Take good care of yourself (exercise, nutrition, approach to life, etc.) and hang on to that youthfulness!
