Happy Monday!

I wish I had an overhead shot of my bed this morning.  The Husband and I were sleeping head-to-toe (because of this problem), James and I were spooning but he was upside down so I was snuggled up to his tail, and Maggie was jammed in between the Husband’s legs (how does she breathe?!).  I’m not sure how two humans and two dogs comfortably fit in a queen-size bed; we’re like a people-and-pup jigsaw puzzle.

 

PB toast, blueberries, sunflower seeds…

And melon!

FAQ Monday + a Name Your 5K Giveaway

 

What TV shows are you currently dedicated to?  I love Game of Thrones (I want to own a dragon), So You Think You Can Dance, and Kitchen Impossible.  Have you ever seen Kitchen Impossible on the Food Network?  Chef Robert Irvine, who I have a serious crush on, gives a failing restaurant a makeover and business overhaul in two days.

 

What items are currently on your desk?  A file of my medical records, a silver bracelet, two glasses of water, a dachshund-shaped pen, my camera, and a lamp.  This is relatively clutter-free for me.

 

What’s your current fitness goal?  My current fitness goal is to deliver this baby, recover, and train for an end-of-season super sprint triathlon.  I hope I can make it happen!  I’m most concerned about the running since running seems soooo impossible right now, but maybe I should be more concerned about the bike (crotch-wise). 

 

It’s time for a Name Your 5K Giveaway!  Simply answer one of the FAQ questions above in the comments section, and I’ll select one winner, who will receive a free entry to ANY 5K of their choice!  Any 5K, any location. 

Good luck!  I’ll announce the winna-winna tomorrow morning.

    Hmm… on my desk we have a pencil holder, a necklace holder, a water bottle, a glass of water, my phone, earbuds, 2 shot glasses :O, a bottle of Febreze, a clock, papers, and a large tub of Target trail mix. 😛

  • Sara June 4, 2012, 10:14 am

    We often sleep with our Labradoodle and Standard Poodle in our queen-sized bed. It’s not very comfortable 🙂

    • Sara June 4, 2012, 10:15 am

      Oh and to answer one of the questions: We are rewatching Seinfeld, Family Guy and we are currently only watching America’s Got Talent on TV.

  • Pam June 4, 2012, 10:15 am

    TV: I’m SO waiting for True Blood. This Sunday!!
    Desk: Too much.
    Workout: I’m getting really into kickboxing, so my goal is to keep going to class!

  • Dani June 4, 2012, 10:15 am

    Mu current fitness goal is to increase my running mileage slowly and steadily, so a 5k would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

  • Audrey June 4, 2012, 10:16 am

    There is too much on my desk to list!

    My current fitness goal is to start running *again*

    Life has been hectic. I need to start training for an October Half Marathon and (hopefully) a January marathon. A 5k would be the perfect ‘get back into racing’ event!

  • Lauren @ Lettuce Eat Cake June 4, 2012, 10:16 am

    My current fitness goal is to finish a beer-themed 4K this Saturday! I’m planning to walk through the beer stations (yes, the stations will have 4 oz. cups of beer in addition to water), but other than that, I hope to run the entire thing! My training has included both running and beer drinking. :p

  • Ashley F June 4, 2012, 10:17 am

    My current fitness goal is to 1. run outside at least once a week instead of logging all my runs on the treadmill— its my safety net 2. do some strength training 2x a week

  • Sarah June 4, 2012, 10:17 am

    I’m addicted to Girls (HBO), Ellen and the Bachelorette! I’m living at home while I’m off for the summer so I don’t have a desk 🙁 and I’m about to get ready to train for my 3rd half-marathon! and hopefully complete my first marathon within the year!

    • Caitlin June 4, 2012, 10:19 am

      I like Girls too!

  • Cassie June 4, 2012, 10:17 am

    My current fitness goal is just to refocus on making it a priority in my life again. May was a rough month with other priorities, so June’s theme is “get thee to the gym!” Thankfully, I have a great book (hint, hint: it’s the Healthy Tipping Point book!) to turn to when I need a little encouragement!

  • Meghan June 4, 2012, 10:17 am

    The Bachelorette, I hate to admit it!

    • Keri June 4, 2012, 3:53 pm

      I’m glad I’m not the only one, and—I’m also glad it’s Monday 🙂

  • Alicia June 4, 2012, 10:18 am

  • Faith @ For the Health of It June 4, 2012, 10:21 am

    You know I’m in! My current fitness goal is to PR on my 5k next weekend. I’d also like to sub-30. My first 5k was 10:55, and those 55 seconds have been haunting me ever since!

  • Mary June 4, 2012, 10:23 am

    I’m currently training for my third half ironman, with the goal of making it to 70.3 world champs in Vegas… a 5K would be an awesome diversion!

  • Amanda K. June 4, 2012, 10:23 am

    What TV shows are you currently dedicated to? We’re catching up on Parks & Rec and Arrested Development — it’s awesome to end the night with laughter.

    What items are currently on your desk? Ugh, how much space do i have? speakers, external harddrive, lamp, a fire alarm, a Bible, my DSLR, camera/ipod cords, an old photo of my husband, a big cup of iced coffee, a jar of caramel sauce (what?)
    (sadly, also clutter-free for me)

    What’s your current fitness goal? My current fitness goal is to keep building post-baby strength and endurance and run a half marathon in the fall. OR just get caught up on sleep. Both seem worthwhile right now 🙂

  • Jessica June 4, 2012, 10:23 am

    Desk-bottle of water, polystyrene tubes, microfluidic chip, computer, phone and pictures of my 1 year old!

  • Kristina Neuhart June 4, 2012, 10:23 am

  • Joy June 4, 2012, 10:24 am

    To answer the question my desk right now is a disaster I have 11 bags of beads, a tower of odds and ends (ie silk and wire, crimp beads and findings) a roll of wire and a roll of monofilament and a pair of pliers and wire cutters (I have a show for my jewelry next weekend – please note I didn’t mention any finished pieces) also a glass of diet gingerale and my incense burner with incense in it…
    As for beds I posted on instagram this morning hubs and poodle snuggling while I cling on the edge of a full sized bed

  • samantha June 4, 2012, 10:25 am

    I’m due mid August so I’m hoping to be back to running shape by holiday time. Hoping to run a Jingle Bell 5K! 🙂

  • Jenny June 4, 2012, 10:27 am

I’ve been training for the last few months and can finally run 3 miles–now I’m just working on getting faster :)I turned 30 this year, so I wanted to be able to run 3 mi in under 30 min when I’m 30…I’ve got 9 months to cut 10 minutes to make my goal.

  • Alyssa @ Don't Look Down June 4, 2012, 10:27 am

    My desk is a disaster area right now. I need to find some time to clean it today! I have a package of labels, some steel wire, glue, water bottle, tea mug, vitamins, lotion, hand sanitizer, and paper paper and more paper.

  • eliza June 4, 2012, 10:27 am

    favorite tv show is New Girl!!! So hilarious 🙂

    I would love to win the 5k because I am in the midst of moving, planning a wedding, and starting a new job. Every time I go to spend $25 on another 5k, my guilt takes over!

  • Caroline @ After Dinner Dance June 4, 2012, 10:27 am

    I have way too many TV shows for my own good! Right now, it’s all about the Bachelorette and Mad Men. I just finished watching Downton Abbey, which I loved!

  • Haley June 4, 2012, 10:33 am

    My current fitness goal is a doozy! …I am training for my first full marathon!! It is in November, so I have plenty of time. However, it is my goal to FINISH!

  • Theresa June 4, 2012, 10:33 am

    I’m 31 weeks pregnant and I’m currently working on meeting my goal of walking 200 miles by the time baby come. I started tracking at the end of my first trimester and just hit 150 miles yesterday. With 9 weeks left I should be able to hit 200, I’m just hoping that the weather cooperates (hot weather = swollen ankles and shorter walks!) After baby I’m hoping to be able to return to running in time for the Hot Chocolate 5K in November (my favorite race!)

  • Lauren June 4, 2012, 10:33 am

    My current fitness goal is to run my first half marathon in August – no real time goal, but I want to run the whole thing and finish strong!

  • Alett June 4, 2012, 10:33 am

    FAQ question: My current fitness goal is to complete an Olympic distance triathlon this season – I am very very nervous about the swim (this is what holds me back, gulp). Having said that it is truly the bike that is my worst of the three disciplines LOL.

    “What’s Your Current Fitness Goal?” – I’m participating in the Runner’s World Summer Running Streak, so my current goal is to run at least one mile every day between Memorial Day and July 4th (7 straight days of running done so far!)…I’m also using this challenge to get me back into regular running again and build some base mileage before I begin my half marathon training plan later this month.

    PS. That toast looks amazing – I am definitely going to try that!

  • Nikki @ only25hoursinaday June 4, 2012, 10:50 am

    LOL, don’t worry too much about getting back on a bike… the first couple days/week or two after the delivery, you’ll think “how will I ever let ANYTHING/ANYONE touch it again??!?!” but you’ll be surprised how quickly it will return to {somewhat} normal. {This is coming from someone who had a 3-hour long push-fest and a 3rd degree tear… trust me, you’ll be fine!}.

    My current goal is to keep up my long{ish} running on Saturday mornings and add in several bike rides throughout the week. I’m trying to drop 20lbs and lean my legs out, since that’s my #1 problem area.

    I’m looking to run the Race for the Cure 5k in Raleigh this coming Saturday morning!!

    • Nikki @ only25hoursinaday June 4, 2012, 10:52 am

  • Kim @ wonderings June 4, 2012, 11:39 am

    My current fitness goal is to train for my first 5k! It’s in Denver in July and I haven’t registered yet!

  • Brynn June 4, 2012, 11:41 am

    I love Game of Thrones and I’m finally watching season 2 of Shameless.

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 11:41 am

    My current fitness goals are to 1.) get back to exercising regularly and to 2.) be able to walk/run a 5K in an under an hour. It seems like a modest goal but my best time is 1:09 so it’s a good goal for me! 🙂

  • Neena June 4, 2012, 11:47 am

    My desk is currently covered with my laptop, extra speakers, desk phone, coffee mug, calculator, mug full of pens and highlighters, and a stack of papers that I’m sorting and filing. This is really clutter-free for me!

  • Julie G June 4, 2012, 11:47 am

    I am committed to continue with Jillian’s Body Revolution. Also just finished watching Hatfields and McCoy’s on the History Channel – LOVED IT!

  • Erin June 4, 2012, 11:47 am

    My current fitness goals are to 1) diversify. Start morning yoga on the beaches of Lake Michigan and get back to The Dailey Method regularly. 2) Complete the Falmouth Road Race in August! It will be my first run with family members…so I am super excited!

  • Erin June 4, 2012, 11:49 am

    What’s on my desk – laptop, second monitor, water bottle, covered cup, notepad, cough drops, phone, headset, invoices, sunglasses… I could go on and on. It’s a bit cluttered for a Monday morning!

  • kristina June 4, 2012, 11:49 am

    My current fitness goal is to run a half marathon in February! I’m working on speed right now…my weakness. lol

  • Kristen @incrediblykiki June 4, 2012, 11:50 am

    My current fitness goal is to become healthier emotionally by finding balance through exercise. I am a person who benefits from the endorphin release of regular, daily exercise … But, I find that the happier I get the less I push myself to try harder, run longer, lift more weight, or whatever the activity at hand may be. I am currently coming off completing a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge and want to keep the momentum going as I enter racing season this summer. I am aiming to achieve balance in my yoga and running practice – to help myself not only benefit physically, but emotionally.

  • Lina June 4, 2012, 11:50 am

    Fitness goal: be able to run six miles. Never tried it before…

  • Emily June 4, 2012, 11:53 am

    The only thing currently on my desk is my laptop. A rarity in my messy life!

  • Amber @ Busy, Bold, Blessed June 4, 2012, 11:56 am

    I don’t keep up with many tv shows anymore… but I do love some guilty pleasure Kardashians. Good thing E! plays everything a zillion times so I can always catch up lol.

    I would love to win a 5K entry because my fitness goal is to PR in an upcoming 5K on the 30th!

  • MS June 4, 2012, 11:57 am

    To run a 5k! I just started running. A month ago I couldn’t run more than a quarter of a mile. Yesterday, I ran 2 miles straight in 20 minutes. I was pretty pleased with myself! 🙂

  • Michelle June 4, 2012, 11:57 am

    My current fitness goal is to run a marathon before the end of the year!

  • Ryane June 4, 2012, 11:58 am

    I’m already rewatching this season’s sitcoms, I miss them so much haha. But the second viewing is good, especially for the quicker comedies – happy endings, 30 rock- you don’t catch all the jokes the first time through 🙂

  • Jenni June 4, 2012, 11:58 am

    I’m hoping to run my first marathon by the end of the year! Then I am going to get more into cycling. Working my way up to triathalons, slowly but surely.

  • Julia June 4, 2012, 11:59 am

    My fitness goal for today is to go to the Bodypump class at my gym. I never lift weights so I’m trying to fix that, but it’s made me terrified of this class!

  • Jessica @ EarlyAMRunner.com June 4, 2012, 11:59 am

    TV: I’m so excited for Real Housewives of New York to start up even though Jill won’t be on this season I just can’t wait.

    Desk: Just about everything, it needs to be cleared off. Perhaps a project for tonight.

    Fitness goal? Start up a strength training regiment. I use to strength train but don’t much anymore and I kind of miss it.

  • Jessica June 4, 2012, 12:05 pm

    Fitness goal: Swim 1500meters in 30min. I am registered for a my first relay triathlon at the end of the summer and will be doing the swimming leg.

    I am a runner and took up swimming for cross training, but fell in love with the sport after just a few months. I loved how relaxing and peaceful it is under the water. I also get an incredible workout in and don’t experience the beat up feeling on my joints that I get from running. 🙂 Runner turned little fishy!

  • Rachel June 4, 2012, 12:05 pm

    Current fitness goal.. to trailrun around beautiful Red Rocks, CO every Saturday morning throughout the Summer! Beat the heat and the crowds with a 7AM start time!

  • Michal June 4, 2012, 12:06 pm

    Yesterday I went rock climbing with friends and conquered a climb I hadn’t been able to do before. But then I tried a new one and I couldn’t even get started because of the angle! So my new goal is to conquer that climb – and somehow find a balance between running and climbing. Having a race to train for would definitely keep me on track. 🙂

  • Stacey June 4, 2012, 12:06 pm

    I’m currently hooked on Breaking Bad and can’t wait for the next season to come out later this month!!!

  • Nicole June 4, 2012, 12:07 pm

  • Jessica @ Early AM Runner June 4, 2012, 12:07 pm

    TV: Real Housewives of New York starts tonight! So excited even though Jill isn’t on this season I still can’t wait.

    Desk: Too much. Ugh. Perhaps a project for tonight.

    Current fitness goal: Strength training. I use to lift a lot and I haven’t in forever and I really miss it.

  • Katy June 4, 2012, 12:08 pm

    I think it would be easier to ask what ISN’T currently on my desk…regular office stuff (phone, two computer monitors, printer, stapler, tape, binders full of work stuff, etc) + lotion, hand sanitizer, thank-you card from someone I helped out recently, coffee mug, travel coffee thermos, and a pencil sharpener that looks like a dog. It’s a very big desk.

  • Natascha June 4, 2012, 12:11 pm

    We are addicted right now to house hunters and Princess (These girls spend crazy amounts of money and I love Gail for being so blunt!)

  • Lexi June 4, 2012, 12:11 pm

    My fitness goal right now is to train for my first half marathon in August. I already have a second half marathon scheduled for October so crossing fingers training goes well. A 5k thrown into the mix would be awesome!

  • Alisha @ Pink Spatulas June 4, 2012, 12:13 pm

    I’m on a mission to complete the Couch to 5k Running program! I’ve tried it a couple times before, but never followed through. Being able to run 3 miles without stopping is my big “project” for the summer!

  • Rachel June 4, 2012, 12:19 pm

    My fitness goal is to train for my first half marathon in July! I have done a few 5ks and they are what has compelled me to train for my first half!

  • Renee C. June 4, 2012, 12:20 pm

    Fitness goal for this weekend: Run the Ludington half marathon and PR! 🙂

  • Liz A June 4, 2012, 12:20 pm

    My current fitness goal is to stay active during my pregnancy. I’m currently 18 weeks. I ran a 5k at 15 weeks, and I’d like to do one more in June. I aim to run, walk, or do a combination at least three times a week, and I have a chart sort of like yours to help me stay on track!

  • Annie June 4, 2012, 12:22 pm

    My current fitness goal is to train for the Chicago Marathon. I have never run a marathon beore, but I was the support team for my mother-in-law this spring and I caught the fever. I have run seven half-marathons, so I am confident I will make it through the rigorous training this summer.

  • Lisa Fine June 4, 2012, 12:23 pm

    I love Law and Order SVU. My parents and I watch recorded episodes all the time

  • Susan June 4, 2012, 12:24 pm

  • Glenneth June 4, 2012, 12:26 pm

    Dedicated to Royal Pains, Covert Affairs, and Rizzoli & Isles. All are getting ready to have their season premiere and I am pumped. I am also newly addicted to the show Bones.

  • Liz June 4, 2012, 12:28 pm

    I’m obsessed with Game of Thrones! I started watching last month and powered through both seasons to catch up to the finale last night. SO GOOD!

  • hilary June 4, 2012, 12:31 pm

    what’s on my desk…HA! more like what’s not on my desk! i have a huge calendar, an anatomy place mate so i can study when i eat at my desk lol! tons of pens and post it notes, a bowl with apple slice and sunflower seed butter, a snow globe, my 1/2 marathon medal, my girls on the run running journal, and my laptop.

  • Lauren June 4, 2012, 12:33 pm

    Question 1: I am also addicted to Game of Thrones! I never saw it and it was supposed to be my “summer show”. That was two weeks ago!! Instead I watched the ENTIRE thing in time for the finale last night. How can we wait until April 2013 for more?!

  • susan @ momswimbikerun June 4, 2012, 12:33 pm

    My goal is to train for the NYC marathon injury free.

  • Lucy June 4, 2012, 12:43 pm

    Currently dedicated to The Bachelorette…guilty pleasure!

  • Dana June 4, 2012, 12:44 pm

    The TV show I’m currently addicted to is also Game of Thrones. I love it! I also just started watching the series The Tudors which is also great.

    One of my current fitness goals is to run a 12K this Christmas. There is a 12K of Christmas that I would like to try out so I think the 5K would be a great gauge as to how I’m doing and a great race prep to the 12K.

  • m June 4, 2012, 12:45 pm

    My goal is to run as long as I can into this pregnancy!! I’m currently 23 weeks and still able to go about 5-6 miles (long run for week, not usually). I’d love to win this because I really want to try and do a 5K while still pregnant to “show” I can do it, but its also tough for me to justify the cost of shorter races (yes they are cheaper, but its still hard for me to pony up 20 bucks to do something I can do any day from my apartment).

    As for TV shows… gossip girl. I’m not even ashamed.

  • Jill June 4, 2012, 12:46 pm

    Goal is to run a marathon this fall, my first!

  • Kristina June 4, 2012, 12:49 pm

    Oh man… Aren’t those dragons just the cutest? I want one too!

  • Jamie June 4, 2012, 12:58 pm

    I’m currently dedicated to Community (just ended a few weeks ago), and am very excited for the upcoming season 5 of Breaking Bad!! My fitness goal right now is to get back on the horse after a long fitness slump, to tone up and to try running. I would love to be able to do the “Color me Rad” 5k at the end of the summer in my town as a fun introduction to racing.

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 12:59 pm

    Current fitness goal is to build my mileage so I can train for a 10k!

  • Jess June 4, 2012, 1:00 pm

    Build a good base so I can complete my first tri either at the end of this season or next year. I’m a total newbie on the bike, so I’m not putting any pressure on myself for this season unless I start feeling really comfortable!

  • Jennifer T. June 4, 2012, 1:01 pm

    I am loving Game of Thrones right now, so sad to see it end.
    I am currently working on increasing my upper body strength right now. I would love to win an entry to the SF Giants 5k in September!

  • Courtney @ Pursuit of Healthiness June 4, 2012, 1:02 pm

    My desk looks pretty crazy right now! I’ve got ice coffee, water, a trophy, lunch, a race bib, some toys, a notebook, hand sani and lotion, tons of post its and orchids. Perhaps I need to clear the clutter.

    I want to run the Color Run this summer in NYC!!

  • Margaret June 4, 2012, 1:05 pm

    TV: The only currently airing show I’m watching is SYTYCD, but my netflix show at the moment is Dawson’s Creek – I’m 27 but never watched it before.

    Desk: I’m at work, so the usual pens/paper clips/notepads, client files, pop, water glass, apple, phone, daily pill box with supplements that I forgot to take already.

    Fitness goal: After running my first half marathon a few weeks ago), I’m now starting over my running training to use barefoot shoes. I’ve been mostly doing 2-mile runs, and did 2.5 miles last weekend. In my next 5k I want to beat my PR of 39:00:31. By next summer, I want to run another half marathon, in barefoot shoes, in 2 1/2 hours.

  • Jacqueline June 4, 2012, 1:05 pm

    Ironman Muncie 70.3!

  • Molly @RDexposed June 4, 2012, 1:12 pm

    Glee!!! I still can’t get over tht Finn broke up with Rachel when Rachel thought that they were on the way to the alter!! Gah!
    I’d love a 5k race but I do feel better getting that glee confession out there.

  • Bruna June 4, 2012, 1:13 pm

    TV: Dexter!! It took me a while to start watching the latest season, but I am hooked now!
    On my desk: computer, two (empty) mugs, cell phone, Altoids, two (also empty)water bottles, some vitamins, post-it, a LOT of pens, three boxes of green tee from Starbucks…
    Fitness Goal: I have my first half marathon coming up in a month and my primary goal is to run the whole time (but it would be great if I could also finish in under two hours and ten minutes).

  • Stephanie June 4, 2012, 1:15 pm

    Currently on my desk: plant, lamp, computer screen, cell phone, assorted normal office supplies, 3 picture frames, office phone, empty reusable Starbucks cold cup I accidentally left here on Friday, Blender Bottle from my smoothie this morning, water bottle, lunch box, personal desk calendar, office phone, giant file I’m working on, giant stack of other things I need to read, and one of the volumes of the PA state code. YIKES!

  • Amy June 4, 2012, 1:19 pm

    My fitness goal is just to work out regularly. I have been so lazy lately 🙁

  • Allison June 4, 2012, 1:19 pm

    My current BIG fitness goal is to get my pre-baby body back. My small goal is a fast (for me) 5k on my way to a Labor Day weekend half-marathon.

  • Liza June 4, 2012, 1:21 pm

    Desk: La Croix lime-flavored sparkling water, a big coffee mug that looks like an owl that holds all my pens and highlighters, anti-viral Kleenex, wedding pictures, a leopard print tape dispenser, The Office daily quote calendar, a plant, dry cleaning receipt, Post-Its, and my iPhone.

    It’s kind of sad how fun it was typing all that out! Haha!

  • Marlene June 4, 2012, 1:22 pm

    This is such a fun giveaway idea.

    My current fitness goal is a sprint tri this Saturday – first one of the season! I’d love a strong performance in each discipline, but mostly the goal is to get back into the swing of triathlon and use it for a practice run before my half iron tri in a few weeks!

  • Casey June 4, 2012, 1:22 pm

    What TV shows are you currently dedicated to? GIRLS on HBO is awesome. I can totally relate to all of the characters as a 24 year old fresh out of college, making a living in the city. Such a good show, I even have my boyfriend hooked!

    I hope I win the 5k! Student loans are killing me lately, and I’d love to sign up for a race without the fee!

  • Sarah June 4, 2012, 1:23 pm

    What TV shows are you currently dedicated to?
    None that I am “dedicated” to right now, not much time for TV. I like the Weight of the Nation on HBO and I like shows like unique eats and unique sweets even though I torture myself watching them 🙂

  • Peggi June 4, 2012, 1:30 pm

    My current fitness goal is to re-train and be able to run a 5k in NYC in November. A friend from Canada, whom I met on a fitness cruise 3 years ago is coming east for the event. We each ran our 1st 5k together aboard the ship and we always told ourselves we would run another together again. Here is our chance!!

  • Hillary June 4, 2012, 1:39 pm

    My current fitness goal is to run a 1:33 half in October!! I’m also doing my first triathlon in July!

  • Espie June 4, 2012, 1:47 pm

    How appropriate…I came home from yoga today and immediately thought “man, my desk is a disaster!”

    Ready for this?
    Items currently on desk: candle, change jar, wallet, envelope with coupons, checkbook, pen jar, US flag, Dominican flag, head band, 3 GUs,headband, scissors, packing tape, bottle of vitamins, computer monitor and keyboard.

  • Chelsea L. June 4, 2012, 1:52 pm

    My fitness goal is to do the Couch to 5k program (coincidence? I think not). I’ve always wanted to run a 5k so this is perfect!

  • Lauren G June 4, 2012, 1:53 pm

    My current fitness goal is to continue with strength & resistance training 3 days a week after a boot camp that I enrolled in ends at the end of June. I would also like to complete a sub 25:00 5k by the end of the year.

  • Holly June 4, 2012, 1:56 pm

  • Carolyn June 4, 2012, 1:57 pm

    I’m hoping to get myself out and running on hills! my usual running route is flat and relaxed, but I’m hoping to run a race later in August in the town over from mine…but the route is super hilly! So I’ve been trying to get myself to take more hilly routes…oh so fun 🙂

  • Hillary June 4, 2012, 1:59 pm

  • Mark June 4, 2012, 2:12 pm

    With the TV season over for the summer, I, too, am hooked on Restaurant: Impossible as one of the few shows still airing new episodes. I would love to work in visiting one of these restaurants while on vacation at some point.

  • kim June 4, 2012, 2:18 pm

    My current fitness goal is to train for my 2nd half marathon, while doing a better job of staying balance with yoga and strength training this time. Last time as my mileage increased by other areas decreased…this time I want to stay much more balanced.

  • Kelly June 4, 2012, 2:21 pm

    My current fitness goal is to get back into distance running shape. I seem to max out at 70 mins right now and I need to move past this plateau!

  • SaraRM June 4, 2012, 2:24 pm

    My current goal is to train smart and set a new PR for my next half marathon!

  • Rachel F. June 4, 2012, 2:25 pm

    My current fitness goal is to keep my workout interesting. I ran a half marathon in April, and have not been that into running lately. It’s usually my favorite workout! So I’m trying to go with it, and find other ways to enjoy being active.

  • Karen June 4, 2012, 2:25 pm

    I am still addicted to Criminal Minds. Hello Agent Morgan!
    My fitness goal is the NYC marathon : )

  • Maija June 4, 2012, 2:26 pm

    what is this Game of Thrones business? I’ve been hearing so much about it lately- must be a good show! I don’t have any current TV obsessions since wahhh Parks & Rec is on break but you reminding me of a new SYTYCD season has piqued my interest and I’ll more than likely start watching!

  • Cecilia June 4, 2012, 2:31 pm

    I actually just met a big fitness goal of mine, which was to run a faster marathon than my first, and I shaved 36 minutes off my time! So I guess it’s time to set a new fitness goal.

  • Ashley June 4, 2012, 2:36 pm

    I am all about Dexter and The Walking Dead…. it is killing me to wait for the next season!

  • Kim June 4, 2012, 2:37 pm

    I am also hooked on Restaurant Immpossible! There was a marathon on last weekend! I was so excited! 😉

  • Danielle June 4, 2012, 2:44 pm

    My short term fitness goal is to lose five pounds for my Vegas vacation. But I’m going to accomplish it by focusing on my Pilates and running. My long term goal is a half marathon in September. 🙂

  • Nicole N. June 4, 2012, 2:49 pm

    My fitness goal is to run my first half marathon in September. I’m a new runner and have only ran 5k races, but started running more while my husband was training for his half marathon. I was so inspired watching everyone along the way that I can’t wait to run mine.

  • Jaimie June 4, 2012, 2:52 pm

    My current fitness goal is to train for a half marathon. Being so busy with school, I was not able to run as often this year and I really want to get back on track!

  • Kathleen June 4, 2012, 2:58 pm

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 3:11 pm

    My current fitness goal is to do yoga once a week. I always feel so good after a yoga class, but never make it a priority.

  • Kelsey June 4, 2012, 3:19 pm

    I am rewarding myself with new Wunder Under crops once I complete 30 workouts (in the style of your blank workout plan, but with a reward at the end!) so that is my goal!

  • Ailed June 4, 2012, 3:23 pm

    My current fitness goal is to continue to get in shape for my second triathlon and then transition over to my first ever 1/2 marathon training 🙂

  • Julie June 4, 2012, 3:25 pm

    Unrelated to the giveaway (even though my fitness goal is to do yoga at least once a week & stop slacking on stretching/foam rolling), you REALLY should read the Game of Thrones books!!! They are sooooooooooooooo good. I’m in the middle of the third one and cannot put it down.

  • Melissa June 4, 2012, 3:25 pm

    This past weekend was the first training run for the marathon training team I joined for the richmond marathon in November…my first full!!! My goal is obviously to finish the full marathon in November, but along the way my goal is to stick to the training plan (3-4 running days a week plus 2 strength training days) and have fun on the team! I’m excited and scared, but mostly excited!

  • Krista @ Healthy Berg June 4, 2012, 3:30 pm

    My current fitness goal is to complete my first triathlon in August! I am the most nervous about swimming, but I’ve been trying to practice a lot and have been looking at your old posts for tips!

    Oh, and BTW I believe that show is actually called “Restaraunt Impossible.” I love it too 🙂

  • Diane June 4, 2012, 3:31 pm

    My current fitness goal is to stick to my marathon training schedule for my FIRST FULL MARATHON ever! Chicago Bank of America 2012 baby! I’m also FUNdraising (fun pun intended) for the first time; I’ve reached my $1000 goal for the Special Olympics team (a personal cause of mine since my brother has Down Syndrome), and have raised it to $1,500! Running for someone besides myself has been such a different experience, in the best way possible! 🙂

  • mama June 4, 2012, 3:32 pm

    Food Network Star is one of my favs and on right now!

  • Keri June 4, 2012, 3:55 pm

    My current fitness goals are to train for and improve my next half time (anything under 1:56 is a PR, but I’m hoping for 1:48), and to incorporate more strength training every week!

  • Laura C. June 4, 2012, 4:05 pm

    I’m currently addicted to Game of Thrones… so sad the season finale was last night 🙁

    My fitness goals are to train and do at least a half marathon, but I’m kind of eying a full.

    I’m not at my desk (on the laptop) but I have next to me on the couch: the remote, an apple and my cat.

  • Megan June 4, 2012, 4:05 pm

    Tv shows: I never miss any of the real housewives shows.

  • Stephanie June 4, 2012, 4:13 pm

    I have a TON of stuff on my desk: files, water bottles, empty cans, pens, a hair tie, my keys, a calendar, an empty coffee cup, my empty lunch containers, tissues, and on and on. I should probably be cleaning my desk instead of cataloging what’s on it!

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 4:14 pm

    My current fitness goal is to complete the Hartford Half Marathon (which will be my first)!

  • Jolene (Homespun Heritage) June 4, 2012, 4:17 pm

    To run a mile…I know this seems trivial to most people but I can’t run a mile yet and that is my fitness goal. I do run/walk and am trying to get there…and I do workout at least once a day plus do my treadmill workout a few times a week. I’m 23 wks pregnant and trying to so hard to make it in the next 17 weeks!

  • Rebecca June 4, 2012, 4:31 pm

    Fitness goal(s): to get back into running since foot surgery 2 weeks, beat my 5mile PR on July 4, and run the Philly half marathon this fall!

  • Joslyn June 4, 2012, 4:35 pm

    My current fitness goal is to train and run a 10k, so winning a 5k would help the process! 🙂

  • Lea June 4, 2012, 4:36 pm

    My current fitness goal is to run a half marathon, it’s a long term goal and I’m very slowly working my way up to it, but that’s my ultimate goal.

  • K @ Finding a skinnier me June 4, 2012, 4:46 pm

    My current fitness goal: To become a runner and run a 5k. I am currently doing short intervals of running mixed with walking, it is a long process. I have two 5k’s I really want to do, one is in September for women who have the same condition I do and one is in November, run to feed the hungry.

  • Lindsey June 4, 2012, 4:48 pm

    My current fitness goal is just to keep up the motivation. This is the longest workout streak I’ve had (6 months). I’d like to run a half at some point but right now I’m just focusing on staying motivated!

  • Jessica T June 4, 2012, 5:17 pm

    Traveling for races is exciting when it is somewhere new, but I always stress about packing and making sure I don’t forget anything!

    Currently on my desk are my laptop, extra monitor, work from my students, pen, lamp and gas bill. Usually its covered with student work and books so this is clean! haha

  • BB June 4, 2012, 5:26 pm

    To find a running buddy!

    I recently visited my sister who I don’t get to see very often. Neither of us are grew up as “runners,” but in December I started training for my first 5k. Since then, my sister has been commenting on how she “wishes she could be a runner, too.” (FYI, she teaches an intense Zumba class 6 times a week so she’s more than capable!!) While I was visiting her last week, we took my nephew in the jogging stroller and did some “Couch to 5K” like training (actually, I started my original training with Pooch to 5K which was so fun! http://www.poochto5k.com/).

    Anyway, it was the first time I had someone to run with other than my dog, and it had a big impact on my experience. We had fun and enjoyed chatting with each other. And it made the minutes and miles fly by!

    I’ve already expressed interest in volunteering with Girls on the Run in New Orleans so hopefully that will help create connections for me!

  • Lauren June 4, 2012, 5:33 pm

    Current fitness goal is to heal my fractured elbows (bike fall) so I can lift weights again!

  • Debbie June 4, 2012, 5:35 pm

    Love Girls on HBO and Mad Men!

  • Jessi June 4, 2012, 5:36 pm

    Current fitness goal – to exercise every day in June. I’m not talking crazy 3 hour runs, but making sure I lace up my sneakers (or unroll my yoga mat) for at least 10 minutes everyday. Btw, what a great idea for a give-away!

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 5:42 pm

    Current goals: Half marathon (my first) in August. Yep, this is week one of the Hal Higdon 12 week training program. (Week 6 includes running a 5K.) Another goal I have is to partner with a more experienced runner and start a GOTR group. I work as an Outreach Coordinator for an elementary school in Oregon.

    Happy Monday!

  • Cassidy June 4, 2012, 5:47 pm

    Presently I have a Peter Rabbit charm on my desk — that I found when I moved into my office for the summer. I am hoping it brings me luck in my position.

  • Stepahnie June 4, 2012, 5:48 pm

    My current fitness goal is to train for and successfully complete the Bridgeland Triathlon (my first!) on August 5th. This weekend I faced my fears and rode a bike in the street!

  • Jessica Engram June 4, 2012, 5:51 pm

    My current fitness goal is to run my next 5k in under 30 minutes. I’m new to running and have run four 5ks this last year and a half. I’ve come close (32:45) but haven’t successfully completed one in under 30 minutes.

  • Emily June 4, 2012, 5:51 pm

    Currently, I’m trying to train for my first sprint triathlon that is scheduled for July while also keeping up my running distance for a half marathon in 2 weeks….not an easy feat, it feels like my body is always sore!

  • jonelle June 4, 2012, 5:55 pm

    current fitness goals:
    get my TSH regulated (has been completely out of whack since surgery in october). continue exercising 3-4 times a week. make the right food choices and portion sizes. walk a 5k in september.

  • Kaitlyn @ Pain Can Be Fun June 4, 2012, 6:04 pm

  • Elise June 4, 2012, 6:19 pm

    iI’m actually training for my first half ironman! its a local race in my town, so the best part is (though its not an ‘official’ 70.3 ironman race) that i can roll out of my own bed, and it will take me less than 5 minutes to get to transition…on my bike. (i have plans to have one friend ride my bike home and another drive me. i’m realistic: i’m not going to be able to walk after that, let alone ride 2 1/2 miles up a mountain.)

  • Kellie June 4, 2012, 6:21 pm

    I am training for my first marathon. I am very excited.

  • MichelleSFTS June 4, 2012, 6:43 pm

    I just walked my first 5K with family and friends. My goal is to run in a 5K at the end of the month. PS – I helped a friend push her stroller for about half the race and up all the hills because I’ve been training and could handle it. Running with a stroller is no joke! I have so much more respect for Moms on the run now!!

  • Amy @ What Jew Wanna Eat June 4, 2012, 6:49 pm

    My goal is to actually follow a training plan for my next race instead of winging it!

  • Gina June 4, 2012, 6:51 pm

    My life has gotten crazy busy lately and my workouts were put on the back burner. My fitness goal is to work out 4 times a week for the next four weeks. First two workouts down (yesterday and today).

  • Laura June 4, 2012, 6:52 pm

    My current fitness goal is to follow through with my realistic plan I’ve carefully set out for myself: Run 4X/wk, Strength Training 4 X/week. Currently would love to do my first 5k (by the end of the season). Your blog inspires me so much!! You’re awesome!

  • Katie June 4, 2012, 7:01 pm

    I am currently obsessed with Army Wives off of netflix, I watched the first season when it premiered on lifetime, but then was never sitting at home when it was on.

    My fax machine which doesn’t seem to be working is on my desk, as well as some random sticky notes of my boyfriend’s that I’m not sure if he needs.

    And my current fitness goal is to finish the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon on June 16!!! But I am currently debating whether or not to run the Twin Cities Marathon on October 7.

    I would love to win a 5k as it really is my favorite distance, because I believe its something that anyone can do as long as they train properly!

  • Emily @ Relishments June 4, 2012, 7:02 pm

    I’m currently dedicated to old episodes of shows on Netflix: Psych, Mad Men and Law and Order are topping the list.

    And I’m rather annoyed that In Plain Sight is over (I’m a few weeks behind, I know).

  • Jenn's Adventures June 4, 2012, 7:08 pm

    I jumped aboard the game of thrones bandwagon as well! I’m hoping to watch the season finale at some point today.

  • Christina June 4, 2012, 8:47 pm

    My goal right now is to get comfortably fit, I’m not focusing on a number, just how I feel.

  • Michelle McIsaac June 4, 2012, 8:58 pm

    What’s your current fitness goal? My current fitness goal is to become the healthiest, happiest version of myself. This ties in to my ultimate career goal, which is to inspire others to do the same! I want to help get food/nutrition education in to the school curriculum, as I feel it’s the biggest thing missing from our children’s high schol careers! Ever see Jamie Oliver’s food revolution? Well he’s got a great idea and I feel like his goals are similar to mine! I am currently in University to become a reigstered dietitian, so I can get the credentials to back myself up, so I can achieve this enormous goal!

    *Side note: My boyfriend is a military man, and unfortunately was posted half-way across the country, meaning we will be living apart for 1-3 years (There is nowhere within 5 hours of where he is being posted that offers my University program:()
    Before he leaves in August, he promised me he would run the “Not Since Moses” 5k with me. It got its name because the location where the run happens each year has the biggest tide changes in the area (about 50 feet!), so when the tide goes down, we run 2.5kms out on the ocean floor, and 2.5kms back!! It is muddy, and hilariously fun!! He is not a runner, but I just finished my first ever half marathon 2 weeks ago, and running Not Since Moses is his goodbye gift to me 🙂

    P.S. Check out this awesome run! http://www.notsincemoses.com/

    Hope you, hubby, pups and baby are doing well!!

  • Leanne W. June 4, 2012, 8:59 pm

    My work desk? Spelling, maths and reading tests, a couple of writing books to be marked, too many stickers, post it notes, pens, permanent markers… It is a mess, I won’t go on.

    What’s your current fitness goal?

    I’d like to run my second 5k! And keep upping my weights in my strength training.

    My current fitness goal is to get my shoulder out of this funk so I can get back on my yoga mat regularly!
