So earlier this year, I heard my husband muttering about wanting to run another half at the Kansas City Waddell and Reed Marathon.

We’re talking fitness bucket lists—you know, the stuff we want to do before we die—for this edition of Question of the Week! Yeah, it’s a little morbid, but it’s fun to share the stuff we really, really want to do!
