I’ve got a full marathon and a Tough Mudder on my 2012 Bucket List too! And I’ve stupidly already signed up to both. At least they’re still far enough in the distance for me to not worry too much about them.
Yeah…my marathon is in October, so I have a long time before I have to worry about it! Hopefully Tough Mudder goes well for you (apparently our city won’t host one until 2013). I think I’m less scared about the marathon than I am about the Tough Muddder!
Yeah, it looks brutal! I’m the only girl on my team, but I’m also (so far) the only one that can run the 10 miles!
It’s Scotland’s first ever TM, so couldn’t resist signing up. Not too keen on the whole being electrocuted thing, I must say…
if memory serves me correctly, you have won something in a radio contest. Although is was so long ago, i don’t remember. it was tickets to ??
I did win tickets to a NM Chili’s soccer game when I was 11, but no one was willing to drive me to the station to pick them up.

Hey. I really love your bog. I am also doing a 2012 Bucket List – which includes lots of reading, cooking, and running targets. I am training for the Cape Town marathon at the end of the September ! You should pop by to my blog as it seems we have really similar likes : http://shantarella.wordpress.com/
Ooo! Cape Town! Definitely on my travel bucket list! Good luck on your marathon training. I need to start working on getting some of these bucket list items crossed off. I think I’m a little behind schedule.
I stumbled upon your blog and find it really great! I read the Chicago Marathon as my first and only (so far) marathon and it is a really great course with great spectators. I signed up for my first Tough Mudder which is actually on my birthday :0! Good luck on your bucket list!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad to hear you had a good experience with Chicago. I’m excited to do a Tough Mudder, but they aren’t coming to my city until 2013, so I may have to put off that item until next year!
