Things To Do Before I Die (and Other Goals)

I made my list of things to do before I die long before "The Bucket List" came out, and I'm constantly adding to it.  I have several short-term goals as well, so I thought I could share my random goals with you here.

Workout Goals:

I'm super excited to start my new workout program!  I used to be in awesome shape and had a great BCS (body condition score), as we call it in vet med.  I stopped running competitively in 2006, and since then my health has declined.  I'm ready to bring healthy back (in the words of Justin Timberlake).  I've decided to get a personal trainer with a friend to do "Buddy Training."  I'm really looking forward to gaining some new ideas for workouts and making more frequent trips to the gym.  I also plan on attending CrossFit classes for a month (while they are free) and paying closer attention to what I eat.  I have high hopes that these things will jump start my workout program and help me be more consistent.  I really can't wait!

Things To Do Before I Die:

I've already crossed off several items, such as riding in a hot air balloon, being in two states at once, learning to develop my own film, learning to drive a stick-shift, learning to tie a tie, climbing a mountain, and learning to salsa/tango/swing dance.  I will list the remaining items below.

skydive

run a marathon

tour Europe

own a horse

swim with dolphins

visit all 50 states (I've been to 31)

learn to play guitar

I'm sure I'll find plenty more to add.  Wish me luck!
