One of the things I love about blogging is that I get the opportunity to share my experiences with all of you readers. Since starting this blog, I have also started a bucket list. I have made a list of all of the things I want to do before I die (kind of morbid sounding, I know, but fun none the less). I am sure I will be adding on as something new comes up, but I thought I would share my list with you.
My Bucket List (in no particular order)
- Swim with dolphins
- Go to the taping of the Today Show in NYC
- Go Scuba Diving
- Travel to Napa Valley (wine tasting)
- Ride a horse
- Go on a Hot Air Balloon Ride
- Run a ½ marathon
- Fall in love and get married
- Have kids
- Grow a vegetable garden
- Go on a cruise
- Learn to knit and/or sew
- Learn to snowboard
- Take a Bikram yoga class
- Get my Master’s Degree
- Travel to Greece
- See Paul McCartney in concert
- Go to Disneyworld/Epcot Center
- Take a photography class
I know I will be adding on to this list and time goes on (and hopefully crossing things off).
If I had started this list a while back, I am sure I would already have quite a few things crossed off. Such as…
and hiking in Red Rock Canyon (not once, but twice now).
My list would also include seeing the Grand Canyon, visiting the Eiffel Tower , meeting Bobby Flay and Ellie Krieger.
So this leads to my exciting announcement…I signed up to do a ½ marathon! I will be running in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon (in LV ).
I am sure you noticed I have been running a bit more lately. It has been a goal of mine for so long so I figured what better time than now. I know it’s not going to be easy and I probably won’t have much of a social life for the next 9 weeks, but I am ok with that!
I will share more about my training schedule with you on a future post. All of you past marathon runners, I will probably be asking for your insight over the next few weeks!
As always, thanks for reading!
What is on your bucket list? Have you ever ran a marathon or a half marathon?

Woohoo that is exciting! Having only ran 2 half marathons I do have to say the excitement and anticipation of the first one is so much fun. Can’t wait to read more about your training
Congrats on signing up for the race. That’s great. I am impressed when people write out their bucket lists and actually tick the items off the list. I have not ever written mine out. The first entry for me would be visiting Italy though.
i’m so jealous of your half marathon, heard that one’s a blast! i was supposed to run my first half last month, but mid-training i hurt my quad and it never recovered. sigh….there will be others i suppose
great bucket list! Napa Valley and Greece are definitely on mine as well.
Yay! A half! How exciting!
Love the bucket list, and I’m looking forward to the stories as they all get crossed off!
hehe, meeting Bobby Flay?! I don’t know why I think that’s funny. I think he’s such a nerd!!! Great chef, but so nerdy, and he thinks he is the SH*T! It’s cool that you got to meet Giada. I would like to meet Alton Brown (another man who thinks he is the sh*t, but in my opinion….he is!!).
I like the photography lesson goal. That’s on my list, along with learning another language (probably Spanish since it’s so common). Running a half marathon is definitely not a goal of mine, but getting a personal training, and trying reformer pilates is a goal for me!
I love the idea of learning another language. I should really add that onto my list!
COOL! You know i LOVE my 101 list!

Running a half marathon in Morocco this January…
I agree with other comments that the photography course is awesome. I took a rockclimbing class and although I don’t do it often these days, I can see myself getting into it after my knees get more tempramental!
Yay for running a half marathon also! We will have to share stories!
Great list and congrats on the decision to do the run. I have been toying with the idea of a PhD. I want to speak another language really well. I’d love for my boys to have the opportunity to live in another country – oh yeah and my book – I need to write that.
loving your bucket list! One of my friends in college taught me how to knit. I can make square things like washcloths and scarves and I can make hats. But that’s the extent of it lol. I really really want to learn how to sew.

Running a half marathon was on my bucket list too! First it was just a 5k and I accomplished that.
I would love to learn how to knit as well – a friend tried to teach me, but I am too stressed out to knit.
Good luck with your training!
I love scuba diving! Its so much fun!!!
I have NO desire to run a marathon…
Dana xo
Woo! Awesome news! I’ve heard it’s a great race, as I’m sure you’ve heard, too!
You’ll do great! I’ve run 2 full marathons and 4 halfs…awesome experience every time!
omg, does this sound scrumptious! I’m excited to try it.
