    Great topic!

    For me I wanna start out with a 5k for Breast Cancer then start training for a 10k.

    I want to run the 1/2 Marathon n Maui September 2014. I have been dealing with a back injury for months now and has hindered my training, so I am going to be back to the 5 k training soon.

    I also want to bike down a mountain in New Zealand and hike to Monte Picchu and hopefully I can get over this irrational fear of sharks to snorkel the great barrier reef in Australia.

    My husband and I hiked some trails in the Blue Ridge mountains this weekend and a lady in her 60s or so passed us on a mountain bike on a kick *kitten* trail. I also wanna be her one day. Seeing that totally made our day.

    I'd love to climb Ben Nevis!

    Me too, and not up the tourist route!

    I would love to do a Color Run, I don't consider this a fitness goal as it's not a timed run...but I still want to do it because it looks like SO much fun!.

    My biggest fitness goal is that I want to be capable of anything...when people invite me to events or fitness related opportunities I don't want the first thing I think in my mind to be "Can I do this? Am I fit enough for this?"

    But individual fitness goals? I want to go further in my yoga, I want to further my flexibility, reclaim more of my dance ability and run faster, harder and more.

    Those will keep me happy for a while.

    For running: 10k, 1/2 Marathon or marathon

    For cycling, Ultracentury or multi-day bike tour like RAGBRAI!

    To step out of my comfort zone! I can run 39.3 miles but afraid to run a zombie or mud run! Some day....I need to believe in myself more.

    Rock Climbing. I have always wanted to try but my weight and my fear of heights prevented me from trying this. I figure if I can tackle rock climbing than I can tackle my fear of heights. Oh, and to run a marathon. Haven't tried even a 5K yet but I will get there.

    At the moment my only aim is a half marathon, but I'm not sure when I'll get to do it. I'm working on upping my distances now.

    I do want to compete in a 15km next year as well.

    Actually, I'd love to learn to play tennis.

    Do 10 real push ups (no knees allowed!)
    Do a chin up
    I'd like to run a half marathon someday but first I guess I better master the 5k and 10k
    Complete Insanity

    I'm sure I'll add more to the list as I progress further in my journey, but these are things I'm set on accomplishing for now.

    Run a half marathon
    Be able to do a pull up
    Learn to swim the butterfly stroke

    The first will be checked off in one week at the Disneyland half marathon. SInce my girls just started school, this will be my first year ever that I have a large chunk of time without kiddos around. I've committed to going to the gym/working out at least 5x a week, so I should be able to get sufficient strength training in to be able to do a pull up next year. Being a woman, the challenge is harder, but doable.

    Oh I like this one!
    1. practice inverted yoga positions
    2. run a 5k, with a time under 35 min
    3. Be able to comfortably lift 15 lb weights in a circuit training set (at 8s now)
    4. I want to say something with swimming but I don't get to a lot so lets just say swim freestyle with good technique and a decent time for 200m

    You are all awesome! I am now googling the Color Run, Warrior Dash, etc! I never thought much about putting a list like this together....and love the idea, thanks!

    To start...
    1. Color Run, mud run, and warrior dash
    2. Complete 20 push ups with proper form
    3. Skydiving (yeah, not really fitness, but a major milestone)
    4. Mountain biking in Moab, Utah
    5. Get certified in diving
    6. Hike the grand canyon, rim to rim
    7. A half marathon...maybe, someday! (running's not my thing)

    Best of luck to everyone with their goals!

    Great ideal.

    1. run a couple 5 ks this year
    2. run 10k this year or next year.
    3. Do 1/2 marathon within 2.5 yrs
    4. In the next 5 yrs, walk the Way of Saint James. (El Camino de Santiago)
    5. Scuba fishing
    6. Snow Ski maybe see the Swiss alps with a basket of Swiss Chocolate.

    I suggest working out somewhere unusual like Europe?
