Dick’s Sporting Goods

Hey guys! It’s GIVEAWAY TIME!

As you guys know, I’m a workout clothes and accessories fanatic. While we don’t have a lot of variety available in our tiny town, I’m always stoked to get away and escape to the Jacksonville Dick’s Sporting Goods for some fun workout stuff.

My beloved tempo shorts:

Asics:

And weight lifting gloves can all be found at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Let’s just say I was beyond stoked (and a little jealous) when a representative generously offered a lucky Fitnessista a $50 gift card to shop to their heart’s delight.

All you have to do??

Leave a comment and let me know what you would use the $50 Dick Sporting Goods gift card for. New yoga mat? Foam roller? Shoes? Running tights?

Winner will be chosen tomorrow (March 9, 2010) at noon EST.

Ready… set… go!

xoxo,

Gina

I would buy some more hand weights and other at-home fitness items. Since becoming a mommy, I do all my exercising at home.

I’ve only just gotten into running outside. I’m a total winter wussy as well, so I would get some clothes for the upcoming season.

On my list, a pull/chin up bar of sorts . . . I tend to neglect my back muscles and have always wanted to be a chick who can do pull ups!

Thanks

Katie March 9, 2010 at 8:15 am

Wooohoo!!! I would LOVE a new long-sleeve tech shirt and pair of shorts.

Lizz March 9, 2010 at 8:15 am

I need workout gear so badly…I keep running in cotton sweats and it’s gross. Seriously could use this budget bump! :-)

I would get new running shorts and shirts, and a new visor for sure. OR I would add some money to this gift card and buy a bosu!

Dani March 9, 2010 at 8:21 am

talk about Motivation!! buying new workout clothes is the king!!

I would love love love a new pair of running shorts (not too short and no too tight, but PERFECT to run in)

or… maybe a new sports bra.. I hate how some brands dont provide any “support” after a while. :(

Lynette March 9, 2010 at 8:38 am

I have just re-committed myself to running after a break of about 4 years. I am 50 years old and my goal is to do as many 5Ks as possible by my 51st birthday (November 6, 2010). A gift card to Dick’s for running clothes would cover my 50 year old jiggly bits and give my self-esteem a boost so I can look stylish as I cross the finish line! Thanks!

Reply

Lauren March 9, 2010 at 8:41 am

Definitely a foam roller. I am training for my first half marathon and really need one!

Reply

Jenn March 9, 2010 at 8:43 am

I would use the gift card for some new workout clothes and a new stability ball (my kids popped my old one!). Maybe some resistance bands or a new yoga mat….I can think of all kinds of fun things!

gabi March 9, 2010 at 8:45 am

Kristan March 9, 2010 at 8:47 am

I would buy new shoes… Have been waiting to buy new shoes for over a year. Come on tax refund:)

Andrea (Off Her Cork) March 9, 2010 at 8:51 am

New summer gear! I need a new running hat and I definitely need some new shorts and capris. Whooo! Also I need new handweights so I might buy some of those too!

Reply

Natalie March 9, 2010 at 8:51 am

I would buy new running shorts. I have been wearing the same ones since college–that was 10 years ago! ha!

Reply

kirsten March 9, 2010 at 8:55 am

I would definitely use it towards new sneakers :)

Christine March 9, 2010 at 8:55 am

I would buy new sneakers. My ankles have been bothering me so I think I’m due for a new pair… how often do you buy a new pair?

Reply

Fitnessista March 9, 2010 at 8:58 am

i buy a new pair every 6 months

Kathy March 9, 2010 at 8:57 am

I used to love yoga when I lived in Chicago and had a great studio to go to. Since I moved, yoga got away from me. Reading your yoga posts and the amazing spring weather we just got is inspiring me to get going on finding a place here. And I’m always looking for ways to make friends in a new place – ones that live a healthy lifestyle. Yoga will be great for that!

So I need yoga clothes BAAAAAAAAD! :-)

Alexis March 9, 2010 at 8:58 am

Tempo shorts all the way! I need some new workout clothes for serious.

Samantha P March 9, 2010 at 9:02 am

A down payment on a heart rate monitor! I’d love one but they’re soooo expensive

Reply

Erin W. March 9, 2010 at 9:04 am

Wow – what don’t I want to buy at Dick’s?? :) Right now I want new running shoes, shorts, tanks, sport bra’s, and a fleece jacket. And maybe the North Face gloves I saw there recently too!

Reply

Jackie March 9, 2010 at 9:05 am

I need some gloves to use when I lift weights! and I would love some tempo shorts

Reply

Brooke March 9, 2010 at 9:07 am

I think I would use the gift card for either a pedometer or some new work out clothes.

Reply

Katie O. March 9, 2010 at 9:08 am

Great giveaway! I have been on the lookout for a pair of running capris!

Reply

Shannon March 9, 2010 at 9:12 am

I would definitely use it for more workout clothes, I’m addicted – and some really cute weight lifting gloves so I can protect my hands a little better while lifting! Love your giveaways! :)

Reply

Sarah March 9, 2010 at 9:12 am

I would use it towards either spin shoes or a new heart rate monitor as mine just died a few weeks ago.

Reply

Laura J. March 9, 2010 at 9:15 am

Oh gosh! I hope I win! ;) I’d love to get some cute workout clothes, so I can retire by old tshirts and sweats. Nothing like new workout clothes to add some motivation to your workout! :)

Reply

Lauren H. March 9, 2010 at 9:16 am

I need a pretty yoga mat. My cats practice their own form of yoga on it and scratch it up.

Reply

Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle March 9, 2010 at 9:17 am

I would definitely get shoes! I only have one pair and have had them for 2 years now! I can’t afford new ones so that would be the first thing I would think to get! Otherwise, I would get some running shorts (i only have 2 pairs…once again, I’m broke haha so I can’t afford it) maybe a top as well, but I usually just prefer T-Shirts to workout in. :-)

Reply

Dominique March 9, 2010 at 9:17 am

I’d love to go get some new sports bras and weight lifting gloves. I’ve lost some weight and I’m currently wearing 2 bras to make them tight enough now!

Reply

Jessica P. March 9, 2010 at 9:20 am

I don’t have any “real” workout clothes, so I would definitely get some running shorts and some underarmor (or the like) shirts. I just signed up to run a half marathon for Team Challenge- I raise money for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA), and they in turn pay my way for the race. So, I really need that $50 gift card- that stuff can get expensive!

Tricia March 9, 2010 at 9:21 am

I have been following your blog for a while though but have never written a comment. But on my way home yesterday from work, I noticed they were putting in a Dick’s sports near me. The first one! Anyway, I def need a new pair of running sneakers. Love your blog. :)

Reply

Annie March 9, 2010 at 9:26 am

I’d use the $$$ towards a new pair of sneaks and some bright Nike shorts!
