Any fitness activities on your bucket list?

[andtckrtoo]

A friend of mine posted on Facebook asking for ideas for a bucket list. I noticed that some of mine where fitness related somehow. Now I'm curious what others would want to do on their bucket lists... (I'm also looking for good ideas).

I'm an outdoors kind of gal, so mine include:

Hike another 14er
Learn to Paddleboard
Visit the Himalayas to hike
Visit Patagonia to hike
Commute from my home to my office on my bike just once. (It's 20 miles but it's a pretty scary 20 miles)
Run a 10k
Take my dogs Snowshoeing.

Take a aerial silks yoga class

I want to hike trails in all (or most) of our National Parks. I've done hikes in Yosemite, Yellowstone, etc. etc...

I want to hike trails in most continents.

I guess my fitness bucket list is to just hike and be outdoors.

I also want to try paddle boarding. Had the opportunity once at the beach but I want to learn it first in a calmer environment. Has anyone seen pictures of folks doing yoga on paddle board?

My ultimate bucket list item is to hike some portions of the Appalachian Trail. We hiked a 1 mile section in PA a few years ago but I'd love to do alot more of it!

I just did one thing on my bucket list 2 weeks ago and it was so fun!

Doing the Via Ferrata at Nelson Rocks in West Virginia. It is basically assisted rock climbing (with a guide), for people like me who are too scared to do the real thing. You are hooked to a cable the entire time and there are rods in the rocks in many places to help you. It was somewhat physically demanding, but do-able. The scariest part was the beginning because it was lightly raining and things were wet and slippery. Also going across the bridge (which was swinging a bit) was scary. It was a beautiful place.

On my list still:
~ finishing a 14er (I did 13.7 of one last year but on about one hour of sleep and didn't finish, because I was too tired. It was still great fun though.)
~ Hiking Half Dome and visiting Yosemite
~ Other national parks that I haven't visited yet
~ Stand up paddle boarding
~ Snowboarding
~ An unassisted pull-up
~ Half marathon (maybe)

Things crossed off:
~ hiking the Narrows in Zion
~ Biking a 100 mile Century
~ Biking 500 miles in a week
~ Nelson Rocks - via ferrata

Amazing pictures! (though I get dizzy just looking at them...)

I'd like to snowshoe; hike the Grand Canyon from the North Rim; and do a week at a fitness/hiking spa in the West (Utah? Arizona?) where I can mix up my workouts with spa treatments and healthy cuisine.

I'm blessed that I've accomplished many of my fitness activity goals. But I'd still like to try a solo bike/overnight camping trip. I'm inspired by the quick trips in this blog Bike Overnights. There's a state park about 30 miles away that would work fine. (Though I have to get over the mindset of 'Why not just drive there?')

Also, I've recently become addicted to kayaking (calm, flatwater, lake/pond type of paddling). Next summer I'll probably set some sort of distance or trip goal. Oh, and I'll try Stand Up Paddleboarding too!

We're outdoorsy too and have done lots of hiking in different places; I still want to do more hiking in Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite, my favorite national parks.

We're doing one of our long-time "want to" trips in November--going diving in Palau. We've been talking about it for over 30 years and decided to just do it. It's scary expensive though.
