Someone pressure me into running a half

The people that do it generally think that they “feel better” afterwards or have “a better outlook on things.” It’s all really just chemicals and dopamine and whatnot that causes these feelings; something about how exercising is good for you. It’s a whole lot of flim-flam, if you ask me, […]

RunKeeper is so great (and getting greater) [races]

RunKeeper has been my go-to running app for a little over a month, and in that time I have not only racked up 30 miles (bam!) but have also gathered a great appreciation for the service. I really enjoy using it; it’s simple and it’s great. There really is not much more to say about […]
