It’s Thursday and that can mean only 1 thing… it’s Top Ten Time! Whoo hoo!
How’s the week going so far? We’ve almost made it to the weekend.
With this month being super crazy in terms of fitness events, it got me thinking… what else do I want to accomplish in the fitness world? What events do I want to target and cross off my bucketlist?
So without further ado, it’s my Fit Bucket List!
Now, I don’t think it’s really fair for me to hit up what I want to do without highlighting a few things I’ve done already…
- Figure competition (once was enough)
- Strong Woman contest (so much fun!)
- Mud Runs (5K course and 5.2 mile course)
- 1/2 Marathon Myrtle Beach (October 21, 2012)
Of course some other things are left off, but those are the big boys that I have crossed off my list so far.
Here’s a few more of what I hope to achieve:
Disney 1/2 Marathon.
I just want to dress up like Tinker Bell and run around. I really don’t have more to say to that. Well, perhaps, I will also have a princess crown on my head. Just the thought of it makes me happy.
I haven’t been to Disney since I was a little girl, and I have an itch to go before we start having kiddos. So what better to visit the park and run the race? Okay, so I guess I did have more to say.
Reach The Beach 200 Relay
Stuck in a van for a weekend, hanging out with 11 other people to accomplish running 200 miles. Sounds like a great time to me! If you haven’t heard of the 200 mile relays, the idea is that you take turns running legs of a 200 mile course. Most teams are comprised of 12 members. I want to do this so bad, simply for the team aspect.
Tough Mudder.
Kiawah 1/2 Marathon.
So I promised Dan I would stop running distance after this month’s race. And then I convinced him to support me for the Disney… well, now in my head I am thinking I can’t NOT do a race in my own town!? Am I right or am I right? Kiawah is in December so I’ve got quite awhile (I wouldn’t do it until 2013).
Create a “Boot Camp Challenge Course”.
–I’ll Share A Picture When It Happens 
–
This is a personal goal. I want to direct a race here in Charleston that incorporates both aspects: a road race and a boot camp. So for example, ever so many miles people would have to stop and do a mini-boot camp workout before continuing on. Still a lot of brainstorming for this to happen! But it’s a goal.
I have already talked with a few of my clients and they are already excited! Works well in Charleston, you might just have one one day in a city near you!
Complete a Triathalon.
I know that sounds so “cliche”, but I can’t lie. I want to do one. This one will not be any where in the near future. I don’t have a bike, I don’t have time to swim and I don’t feel like marking this off any time soon… but one day!
Have I mentioned, I am actually a bit frightened of riding a bike? Which is one of the big reasons I want to tackle this!
Hike the Rockies.
Not the entire chain, but I have always wanted to visit Colorado and hike, camp, and take in what the beautiful (or I think beautiful) state has to offer.
I’ve often joked that I am a hippie in heals, I just think this vegan girl would be quite happy there… during the summer of course. Screw the snow.
Wine Run: Napa To Sonoma 1/2 Marathon.
I really want to do a race that runs through the wineries in Italy. I just can’t find a specific one, so I will settle for now for the Napa To Sonoma Half Marathon. Race and then end with wine drinking? And running through wineries? Yes please! If I find one in Europe, I will share it! But how perfect does this sound for the wino runner like myself?
Surf and Climb in Costa Rica.
This isn’t an “event’ but it’s something Dan and I have to do one day! This is our ultimate fitness dream… to surf Costa Rica and then hike along the mountains. How ideal does that sound?
Here’s a secret… when I first became a trainer, I wanted to move to open a “fitness retreat” in Costa Rica. I still haven’t given up that dream, it still brings happy thoughts and images to my head. The ultimate fitness package for me!
So there you have it, those are the top 10 fitness events that I have on my bucket list!
- What’s on yours?
- If you could do anything, money is no issue, what would it be?
Can’t wait to hear!

I want to do the entire Na’Pali Coast hike in Kauai, I think it’s around 13 miles each way and you camp over one night and hike back the next day. I hiked in 2 miles and back last fall and it was amazing, I was disappointed we weren’t able to hike to the waterfall but there wasn’t time. The views are absolutely spectacular.
I also want to do the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco. Not sure if it will be the 1/2 or full, there’s a lot of hills so maybe the 1/2. Any race with a tiffany necklace waiting for me at the finish line sounds amazing. Also, they’re handed out by firemen in tuxedos so…yeah.
The Rockies are amazing, you should check out the Tetons in Wyoming, they’re so beautiful. I live in Montana and I can’t get enough of the mountains.
That sounds amazing! I would love to do that as well. San Fran would be awesome too, my husband has always wanted to visit so who knows perhaps that will end up on my list!
I’d be jockey weight and fit, then ride in a horse race!
That would be so much fun! Gotta say that’s the first for hearing that! Great idea.
I would go to one of those all-girl surf school weekend getaways!
1. 5K– check (I still want to run another where I don’t have to stop and I want to beat my time)
2. Mud Run– check this weekend (I am super excited even though my family thinks I’m nuts)
3. Zip-Line — does this count as fitness? Some place exotic would be my 1st choice
4. Hike the Grand Canyon
5. If you open a fitness retreat in Costa Rica I would love to come!
You’re not crazy! You fit right in with me
thought I guess some call me crazy? lol see you in the morning.
The Disney half is a blast – it was my first half, and I’ll never forget it. You gotta do it!!
The yogi in me wants to go to a Wanderlust Festival. The runner in me wants to run a half somewhere in Hawaii.
Agreed… will do!
The Disney 1/2 Marathon is on my fitness bucket list too!! I’d love to do the one in Disney Land too! We have very similar fitness bucket lists
Then a good reason for us to get together! Knock something off the list together!
I love this list. I want to do most of the things on here too! I want to do a tri as well, but I’m terrified of swimming. I feel like a weenie!
There is the most awesome wine race here in BC. I blogged about taking part here – it was seriously SO MUCH FUN!!; http://helen-mills.blogspot.ca/2012/06/half-corked-in-okanagan-wine-region.html
I love your other items too. Think I need to be setting myself a Fitness Bucket List. A Tri and a Tough Mudder would be on mine too for sure – I’m tentatively planning these for next year already.
Oh that’s awesome Helen, Definitely need to make a trip up to BC! When is your tough mudder planned for?
