summer bucket list.

When I saw {jcd}'s prompt last week, I decided to join in the fun and create my summer bucket list!
This is my comprehensive list of my to-dos for the summer months. I'm excited to finally get back 
in the groove with running, after almost five months off the road because of my stress fracture. 
{If my physical therapist allows it, I would love to do this half marathon in Providence on August 7th!}
Taking photography and cooking classes will definitely help in fine tuning my skills with a camera 
and a mixing bowl. The other items on my bucket list require some extra TLC, but I'm absolutely 
willing to make that happen!

Do you have any of the same goals for the next few months?
What else are you dreaming of this summer?

Link up your own bucket list at cornflake dreams!
Can't wait to hear more about your summer plans :)
Have a great Wednesday! xoxo {av}

    Exercise more and chill more would be two I think. If I take any more photos my laptop will collapse under the strain ;-) xo

    I love the enjoy the quiet goal - what a good idea. For the half, have you thought about using the Jeff Galloway walk/run approach? http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/half_marathon.html

    I hurt my knee last fall right before I started training for a marathon and did his program, I finished with a 10:30 pace! Most importantly, my knee survived and wasn't abnormally sore.

    Good luck on the B.List!

    Hmmmn, exercise is not as high on my list as it probably should be. I am however, getting my boyfriend to teach me the guitar which is going quite well so far!

    What a great list! There are a few things on here that I want to do as well (i.e. taking more photos and becoming a better cook). I feel like there are so many things I'd love to do this year, but the trick is finding the time!

    I have the same list! The only addition for me is to explore my new city! :)

    Learning to appreciate the quiet is such a good idea. Too often I feel like I have to be on the go all of the time, but I really just want to relax. :)

    i also want to get a bit more physical this summer - this is the time to do it, when we feel more alive and not freezing under the comforters during the winter months!

    Just gorgeous photos and layout. I'm so glad to have come across your blog! I also would like to become a better and more adventurous cook -- now that I'm cooking for myself AND my new husband, I'm ready to take it up a few notches in the kitchen! :)

    Great to-do's! What books are you thinking about? I've recently read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and "The Help" - both were great. I'm reading "Love the One You're With" now, and have just gotten started, but have heard good things. I think "Hunger Games" is next for me...a friend of mine stayed up all night to finish it a few weeks ago - sounds like a good book to me!!

    I love your list! I'm trying to get into running now (I can only last a few blocks but I am getting better at it, thank goodness I can power walk like a mad woman!). Here's hoping we both make the most of our summers!

    This is pretty much my list for the summer!! Well.. except for reconnecting with friends-- I'm hoping to make new ones in my new home :)
    I also look forward to you taking more photos. You are so artistic and your photos definitely show that!

    Lovee this list! I didn't do a summer bucket list, but recently did a 25 before 25, which is in October, so essentially a summer bucket list.

    Love the whole list. Get back to running is number one on my list too! Can't wait just wish it wasn't already over 100 degrees so I could run outside.

    Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog :) I've been reading your blog for a while but just noticed I was not officially "following" you. had to fix that immediately!

    i love what you have about "learn to appreciate the quiet". Sometimes it's so hard to sit back and truly relax with no distractions.
