My Bucket List

(Note: all current and new posts from uptorun.blogspot.com can now be seen at runbuffet.com)

I already have a bucket list about running which contains races that I want to do before I die. Of that list, I have only checked off one item - the Marine Corps Marathon. Chances are, that list will probably stay untouched until after I turn 18 and more opportunities are open to me.

A long time after creating that bucket list, I started thinking about creating a bucket list filled with tasks and experiences unrelated to running that I don't have as of this day (06/07/2013) but hope to have one day. I finally compiled it. I hope to look back and check items off this list as life goes on.

If you didn't know before, bucket lists are basically lists of things that you want to do, see, or accomplish before you "kick the bucket" and die. Feel free to take inspiration from this list!
