    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.
