    I have run several 5k races, but I can't get below 33:15--I really, really want to beat 33 minutes.

    Second, I would like to compete in a 10k.

    Start indoor rock climbing lessons with a view to learning mountain climbing
    get to a decent fitness level with the kickboxing and go back to mma and hopefully competitions
    Be fit enough when I visit the uk next year to attend the nephews trampoline lessons and not make too much of a fool of myself
    Buy a kayak
    go back into horseriding
    Be fit enough to cycle 8+ miles including hills without keeling over lol

    I'd love to climb Ben Nevis!

    I definitely recommend taking up rock climbing btw, it's great! If you take an introductory course they'll ease you into it slowly, and to be honest you're too busy concentrating on foot and hand holds to realise how high you are!

    What a great question!

    I'd like to start by being able to run the 5K I'm registered for in November without embarrassing myself. :blushing:

    Eventually I'd like to (in no particular order) run a Tough Mudder, a Color Run, hike the Appalachian Trail, rock climb, adult pushups (more than 2), pullups, swim as much as I want, etc. I want it all!!

    Mine isnt really a huge thing, I havnt thought about marathons or anything...yet anyways. Im very out of shape, get tired just walking fast for a mile, and running is a joke, I last about 3 minutes. SO....my fitness goal right now is to work into running, I want to be able to run a whole mile! (Big deal for me!)

    I agree- great post!
    I met my first goal- which was to do one push up by my 50th birthday, first one in my life, I did three!
    Now I want to be able to do lots, and with better form. Also would like to be able to do pull ups.

    Oh- and I'm in for the Caribbean diving!!:happy:

    1. Run stronger/longer and work my way up to a 5K and then a 10K.

    2. Get back into lifting heavy.

    3. Be able to do 10, then 20, then 30 push-ups in good form.

    4. I would love to go to school for fitness/nutrition and then be able to help others obtain their goals.

    5 Perhaps someday even participate in a fitness competition :bigsmile:

    -Be able to do proper push-ups.
    -Be able to do at least one proper chin-up.
    -Be able to hike up and down the Grouse Grind (http://www.grousemountain.com/grousegrind).
    -Learn how to swim.
    -Learn how to sail (my cousin, who is just 17, is a regionally accomplished sailor. She also works as an instructor. Sailing looks interesting).
    -Learn how to surf.
    -Learn how to play soccer.
    -Learn how to play basketball.
    -Learn how to play volleyball.
    -Insert other sports, here. I missed out on a lot of them in middle and high school, because the gym teachers always assumed everyone knew how to play, and I was so petrified by the fear of doing something wrong and having the clique kids get after me for it, that I found every excuse I could to sit it out.

    this is such a neat idea, i am gonna add it to my profile!!

    run 5km
    portage
    do a back bridge successfully
    do the splitz
    be able to do 10 perfect pushups, if not just one! i have been doing them on the kitchen counter

    I like these aside from I am not sure what portage is... I used to be able to do the back bridge no problem, and the splits. Pushups I want to do 20 regular ones. I am now up to 5.
    I also would like to be able to eventually do a triathlon, by next Summer.
