Since I don't really have any big milestones within sight I'm going to make a list of things that I want to do soon...and place a time limit on it to push me to accomplish items on the list...
It started off as a summer 2012 thing but there might be a few things that will take a little longer to accomplish or are just scheduled for later in the year and there isn't anything I can do about that...
1. Run an entire race series...I'm currently paid up for a 10 week long series of 5k's. I tried to do something similar last summer and ended up injuring myself in week 7 :( This year I WILL WIN THE GOLD PLATED MEDAL!
2. Run a marathon...duh...I kind of have to make good on my promise...even if it is a year late.
3. Compete in a triathlon. I'd like to say I want to finish an Olympic Triathlon but I really don't like cycling enough to commit to that just yet. But maybe I just need a little kick in the butt like I did for running.
4. Hike Bondcliff. The pictures I've seen from the top just look amazing!
5. Run in a mountain road race. I won't be running Mt. Washington anytime soon but there are less steep mountains to race up...
6. COLOR RUN! Everything I own is colorful so how could I avoid the chance to get doused in color and run at the same time?!
7. Hike Mt. Katahdin. Should be doable as we are white water rafting in the area later in the summer.
8. Run in a night time race. There are a few I can sign up for. My dream would be the Wine and Dine half marathon at Disney. Hopefully it doesn't fill up early!
9. Learn how to cook more healthy food options.
10. Attempt new baking recipes (you really didn't think that eating better meant avoiding baking did you?)
A mud run or other adventure race would be fun too but those things are just so darn expensive and only fun if you do then with friends...ohh and I want to do one of those 200 mile 48 hour relay race thingies too!
As an added bonus, I need to find 3 people to compete in this race with me...anyone interested???
What's on your leap list for the year?
9&10!!! I can help with both!
