Motivation Monday: My Half Marathon Race Recap | Fitness Cheerleader

Motivation Monday: My Half Marathon Race Recap | Fitness Cheerleader: "Last week was a great week for me – taper week, ending with the half marathon race on Sunday (yesterday) that I’ve been training for since early August. My taper included only two runs: one on Tuesday – a 6k with Amber in the jogging stroller, and another on Thursday – a 5k pushing Amber, then I rested until my race on Sunday."

App of the Week - Runkeeper

App of the Week - Runkeeper: "If you've been following the articles this week, you might have noticed a bit of a pattern developing. If you haven't been following, first of all, shame on you, and second, we've been covering running a good deal this week. Check the links after the article to get caught up.

So if you've gotten full blown barefoot fever, we have the perfect app you. It's called RunKeeper, and I personally don't go running without it."
