But my goal is to do a marathon by next year (and maybe fit in a half before then), so I really gotta bump it up. Any suggestions on how to get that mental motivation would be appreciated.

Ryan Paugh What are you guys watching on TV now that LOST is over? I've been watching a lot of Reality TV actually. My new guilty pleasure is Billy The Exterminator. No joke. I love this show. I think it's because he loves his job so much and I love seeing that. What's your guilty pleasure?

86 weeks ago from Television (Couch Potatoes) and LOST Fans

Ryan Stephens: For those who enjoyed LOST I can recommend: Dexter, Mad Men, The Wire, Friday Night Lights, and to a lesser extent Fringe and Justified.

Emily Moore Do you belong to a Book Exchange or Book Review site? (like Paperbook Swap or GoodReads?) I've just started to get involved, and am pretty excited to expand my library based on recommendations I find. What do you think of these sites? Which is your favorite one to use?

David Spinks A lot of young pros start a blog when they're on the job hunt. Then when they get a job, the blog takes a back seat. Are blogs just not as valuable for young pros once they've been hired? If this has happened to you, how did you adapt your blog to your new goals and lifestyle?

90 weeks ago from Gen-Y Professional Bloggers

David Spinks: Not a bad idea Carmille. I don't think I've seen anyone do that before.

It's an idea I'm going to tackle in a future blog post but I am glad to see I'm not the only one to have noticed it.

TOP IDEA: Ryan Stephens I think there's a unique opportunity to use social tools to bring sick people, cancer survivors, etc. together in a community where they can connect with each other, bring up morale and help prevent illness in the future.

Daniel Goyeneche Thoughts on last night's episode? It was probably the best episode so far (maybe 2nd best). Ben is by far the best character...although we saw a softer side of him - will evil/cunning Ben return?

100 weeks ago from LOST Fans

Eric King: I too am enjoying the good-vs-evil internal conflicts as they are developing. Except for Hugo, of course. He's pure goodness.

Maybe along the journey of following Jacob he got bitter and started to doubt...or something...puzzling indeed..

Andrew Stuhl Am I the only one in this group actually watching Baseball? C'mon folks, the real season just started! Go Phils!

121 weeks ago from Baseball

Ryan Stephens: I think the Dodgers offense was legit. Can the Phils stop the Yanks? With Hamels throwing the way he has?
119 weeks ago
Andrew Stuhl: @Ryan-great question. Hamels = shaky. Lee will start Game 1 and Manuel said he'll pitch Lee 3 times in the series. Who has a better offense?

Ryan Stephens I've manipulated parts of the p90x wkout in my own efforts for awhile now, but I'm just started the real thing this week! Plyometrics = wow.

128 weeks ago from Fit Freaks

Bill Gary: I just started p90x myself and so far i like it. I already do alot of metabolics so its not as life changing for me as others claim it is.

Brendan Wilhide How about Zack Greinke tonight? He gets my vote for AL Cy Young.

128 weeks ago from Baseball

Ryan Stephens: I think Greinke gets the nod if it ends today. KC being terrible might give Verlander, Felix the Cat, Halladay, or even CC an outside chance

Scott Asai I'd say to be lean and explosive...

136 weeks ago from Fit Freaks

Travis Power: Watch your diet in order to lean up. I do deadlifts, sprints, and squats for my speed and agility.
135 weeks ago
Ryan Stephens: Go with higher reps and explosive lifts like power cleans. Also like Steven and Travis said. Shorter, bursts or running, less rest in betw.
