Today, I celebrate 32 years on this Earth. I’m not sure how that much time has passed so quickly. Despite the 10 grey hairs that have decided to become permanent fixtures on my head, I can honestly say that I am happier and more fulfilled today than I have ever been.

I was recently inspired by this post from Happy Fit Mama who created a bucket list for her 36^th birthday. It got me thinking about things I really want to do. Not just short-term goals, but big, fun bucket list activities. Some of these things could be done in one year, while others may take the rest of a lifetime. So, in honor of my 32 years, here are 32 items on my bucket list.

1. Run a marathon in Europe (Paris or Rome).
2. Do 3 unassisted pull-ups.
3. Vacation in Tahiti/Bora Bora.
4. Write an article that’s published in Runner’s World.
5. Run a race in Napa Valley.
6. Run a marathon (or do a long-distance triathlon) with Mr. rUnladylike.
7. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.
8. Become a better skier (master the black slopes).
9. Live closer to my family.
10. Help one of the athletes I coach achieve a big PR.
11. Finish an IRONMAN.
12. Learn to sew. I got a sewing machine about 10 years ago that I’ve never used.
13. Work for Brooks Running.
14. Go to the Olympics in a cool destination. (I did attend the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.)
15. Travel across the United States for 3 months.
16. Spend the day with Kara Goucher.
17. Own my own pimped out tri bike and race wheels.
18. Start a family.
19. Swim with manatees.
20. Do 50 push-ups in a row on my toes without stopping/resting.
21. Own my own business (that can actually pay the bills).
22. Live on the west coast.
23. Go on a mission trip to help others.
24. Have a second home somewhere awesome.
25. Make and sell my own running shirts. (I’m taking suggestions.)
26. Become proficient in Spanish. Again. (I used to be conversational and nearly fluent.)
27. Go to Corsica, France with my family (that is where my mom’s family is from).
28. Go to Italy with my in-laws (that is where Mr. rUnladylike’s family is from).
29. See my best friends who live in other places more often (at least 4 times a year).
30. Go to Australia.
31. Learn to be a better swimmer.
32. Have Matt Fitzgerald be my personal coach. If you don’t know who he is, google him. He has written many of my favorite books and plans on running, racing weight and triathlon.

No birthday would be complete without gifts, right? In honor of my birthday, I’m giving away a present to YOU to say thank you for how awesome, inspiring and encouraging you are all year-round. From leaving comments on posts here on runladylike.com and chatting with me about running and triathlon on Twitter and Facebook to emailing me about your experiences and with your questions, YOU make me so happy and fulfilled.

To say thanks, I’m giving one lucky reader the chance to win a Meow running belt from Ultimate Direction.

As an ambassador for the ZOOMA Women’s Running Series this year, the Ultimate Direction team sent me a few items from their Jenny Collection, which is a line of products designed specifically for female athletes lead by runner and designer Jenny Jurek (wife of ultra-runner Scott Jurek).

The Meow waist pack was designed to carry items with you while you’re running or out being active around town, such as your phone, keys, cards, or fuel. Ultimate Direction describes the waist pack as having wicking mesh with a comfortable women’s specific fit, a low-profile streamlined design, reflectivity and a long easy-access pocket with an internal divider. It weighs 2 ounces and the pocket is 32 inches long. You can check out a video of Jenny talking about the Meow and other products in the line here.
