Ohhh awesome goodiebag. Great blog!!
extra entry http://hollyontherun.blogspot.com/
Yessssss please! Heaven in a bag!
Great gift bag giveaway. You always manage to put together great giveaways and challenges.
Good news on the 6 miles! Isn't it crazy how the cardio can wane so quickly?
Do you go on the same running route or do you change it up? if so, how do you plan out the route?
I am curious, I seem to go on the same routes and I am getting tired of them. I live by a alot of traffic, sucks!
Awesome giveaway! I'm having a hard time enjoying my runs this week - maybe the goodies will help me feel the love!
Fun giveaway I want to win...Now I need to think of a good question.
Oh I know what my question is. How do you get all these great companies to give you goodies to test out and giveaway?
Awesome giveaway! I want those bars. Mmmm... :D
Here's my question comment: Have you always been a runner? Or did you come from a more sedentary upbringing and make the choice later in life to become active? Throw in a battle with anorexia to the latter, and you have my fitness story (up until this point, anyway!).
Awesome giveaway!! Wooott! :D
Wow, those are some great goodies!
My question: How far would you travel to get to a race?
1.) I always need food, so sign me up:)
2.) question: having traveled so much, do you wish you lived in a more fitness-oriented town, or do you like being in the "minority" around here?
YAY for giveaways!!! i want allll that stuff :) i will link you to my blog too!
now to think of a question...
what is your running story, how did you start and what pulled you in? what is your favorite race you have ran? i guess thats a lot of ?s :)
Cool giveaway!
Question: Do you feel being a good runner is more physical or mental?
nice job on the run and good job on cracking out the ab work!!! all those goodies look yummy! :)
what is your carb of choice when fueling before a run?
Great giveaway. I really need to learn to embrace carbs. I shy away from them and I know I shouldn't since I am running a ton per week. Any helpful insights you can share from the book?
Yay giveaway!! I've never had any of those- but I'm warming up for my first half marathon this year, so I will soon!
I would love to see more pictures!
Thanks for the giveaway. I posted a link on my blog. How long have you been running?
That giveaway is fantastic!
... here's my question ... how do you find time to post, get giveaways, comment everywhere and workout?
Turbo Jam Abs rocks. Your giveaway looks yummy!
Hi! I am new to your blog and it is great! Thanks for holding a give-a-way! That is just awesome!
I am always looking for new items to try and use as fuel!
Question: Was it chocolate or ice cream cake that you had? Ice cream cake rocks!
I will definitely post your link on my blog!
great job on the run! way to get back out there. i was just wondering when you are going to post the pics of the new 'do as a BLONDE.
We are getting wild on the giveaways huh! :)
One of my questions for you would be how were you rasied food wise? did you eat a lot at home or out? Just random and wondering.
Pick Me! Pick Me!!
I just happened upon your blog- it looks so inspiring, I can't wait to read more! :-)
ahhh...great giveaway!! and congrats on the 6-miler!!!
and here's my question for you: i always have problems with sweat getting in my face as i run...any suggestions? i've heard making V's w/ vasoline works, and of course wearing hats but i don't like them!
What inspires you? And what is your fave snack/drink to get you going with energy? Also, I am posting your link on my blog. My blog is: http://melindasfabulouslife.

You are already on my blog roll :) How do you stay motivated? Its my biggest challenge on long runs. I'm linking back to you now.
Wow, I'd love to sample these goodies. Who doesn't want chocolate? I've had Amy's soups before, I especially like the alphabet soup, but I've never tried an Amy's Entree yet.
And here's my question... Since I'm new to your website, how to you manage to hold all these great giveaways? Are they samples from the companies? Are you sponsored by any of these companies? Or are you just a fantasticlly generous person who loves to do nice things for others? Thanks!
Love your blog! I swear, Chandra is going to get me addicted to so many blogs my google reader is going to blow up! And good luck @ the half on Saturday....looks like the weather will be MUCH better!

I love exercising when I'm actually doing it, but I can never get motivated to get up and do it. Do you have any tips/suggestions on how to get myself motivated?

Great contest :) I love your blog
sweet goodie basket!
I keep hearing about ProWash, but haven't tried it yet. Must be worth it though with all I've been reading about it.
Looking at the places you travelled to, and the places you want to go, Honduras sort of seems like the odd location in the group. Any particular reason you want to go there?
What a great goodie bag! I'd love to win.
2nd comment: Since you're obviously interested in eating healthy, have you ever tried an alkaline diet to balance the pH of your body?
Ooh, those all look wonderful! Would love a chance to win!

Wow! all those yummy things!
What inspires to you do a race?
Yay for giveaways! They make me say, "hooray!" :)

Wow...cool giveaway. I'll play!
Question: Of all the places you've traveled, which is your favorite?
I've posted a link on my blog: livelistencook.blogspot.com
congrats on the 6-mile run with no walking =)
I know that feeling of getting frustrated and then eating 2 slices of cake - in fact that was me this weekend!
I just linked back to this giveaway in my last post, and I have a question for you about what you eat - could you post your food "staples" or a typical day's worth of food? I know that everyone is different but it would be interesting.

-Why did you start running? And at what age?
-When is running the hardest for you?
-What are some of your side hobbies besides cooking and running?

What a great giveaway! Hope I win! :-)

I think the most challenging part of balancing a healthy lifestyle is trying to eat socially with people who don't really have a healthy life style. that and trying to tell/find people that have a passion for exercise or running like you do. howd you get so far in your running is what i'd like to know.
