Bucket list revised

This being a new year, I decided to revisit some of the things I accomplished last year, and add some new things to the list to do this year.
In 2012, I rode my first airplane, went zip lining, dog sled racing, sky diving, and completed my first half marathon, along with about 20 other races during the year. I learned how to climb rocks, and got to drive a Ducati motorcycle as well. I also lost an additional ten pounds, adding to my 50 pounds lost the previous two years. Wow what a year!
2013 promises to be just as interesting, I'm planning to take my family to Disney land, see the ocean, the redwoods, and maybe a light house. I'm also adding to the list this year. I plan to go fishing... (only done a couple times when I was very young), go snow shoeing, ride in a canoe, and shoot a gun. I also plan to continue my running and do two more half marathons, in addition to my many races during the year. I'm also planning my own 5k, which should be very interesting. My weight loss journey seems to never end so another ten pounds at least is in my plans!
And for the silly little things :
Send a message in a bottle
Send a telegram... (if possible)
Volunteer for something
Try a food that scares me
...more to come off course...

I have also decided to try and spend more time with family and friends. Although my job requires alot of time my relationships with others needs to be a priority.
As you know, I tend to add alot of items to my list as the year drags on, so keep looking for updates.

As for my current life, all is well. .. Christmas was great, and busy. I injured myself again, this time landing wrong while jumping off the wall rock climbing. I have to wear a hideous boot while my Achilles tendon heals.. hopefully it will heal so i can start training for a spring marathon.
For my fall marathon i have discovered one in Disney land.  I really want to do it, since I'm obsessed with Disney and I really want to take Luke. they have built a "cars land" and I think Luke would be ecstatic. Only one problem with my plan : $$$$. So for all birthdays we are saving up for tickets. Registration for the race is almost $200 alone, so we will see what happens.
Thats about all the news I have for now, I promise to try and write more!
I wish you all a happy new year!
