    2. CrossFit (curious, even though I like my current gym, and it's challenging).
    3. 5K (once the rains have gone for sure)
    4. Hike-- somewhere, at least once. Hoping this will be on my honeymoon!

    -I'm running my first 5k in July (but since I signed up I realized it may be too easy for me, but what the heck! I'll do it then train for a 10k next!)

    -Someone mentioned Bikram Yoga. I did it a few times last year and just realized I want to do it again. It's tough, but is a major calorie burn and you feel like heaven afterwards!

    -Start a new training program like P90X, haven't decided which one yet (I'm almost done with Body Revolution)

    -Go swimming, another thing I haven't done in awhile and would like to take up again.

    Thanks for the inspiration and letting me think these out!!

    This summer, I want to get back to speedwork with my running and also add in some trail runs.

    It gets so hot here, but it's a lot cooler on the trails!

    Some excellent ideas. Thanks for putting this out there. I plan on climbing all the way up Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia this summer. I didn't make it all the way up last year during my visit there and this year I know I can it it with no problem. Also want to get into more serious lifting using NRoL. Will have to check out everyones ideas and add some more.

    What's on you bucket list?!

    About your bucket list: a half marathon isn't bad! What makes them even more tolerable is when you run with someone, regardless if you know them or not! I made a friend on the most recent half marathon I ran and it was fun. :)

    My Summer Bucket List:
    More Zumba
    Attend Summer Speedwork Sessions (on Thursdays)
    Run more State Parks (the hills will help with training!)
    Birkam Yoga - once a week
    Try Crossfit
    Rock climbing
    Run stairs at the school I work at

    Basically I want to get in 3 workouts a day. This fall I am running 3 half marathons--possibly 4 and I am totally stoked. I think once I finish 3 in 2 months, I will be ready for a full. :)
  • - ZUMBA 2x a week
    -train and finish 2nd half marathon
    -do 4 more 5k runs this year (at least one being under 40min)
    -rock climbing (indoors)
    -ziplining
    -get a bike

    a lot to work on!:bigsmile:
  • Leg strength training to climb a 14er this fall
    Bike the KATY trail
    Attend a paddleboard/kayak yoga worskshop
