Tip of the Day (2)

Here's another good tip. Variety is the spice of life, which is why I find the treadmill so incredibly boring! I much prefer doing my walking/jogging out in the open where I can appreciate the sky, the sun, the trees.

The Map My Run app gives you all the nifty information you need. Even more than the regular treadmill; information such as: distance, duration, pace, calories burned, climbs and elevation among others. You can also see a representation of the route taken. Nice, huh?

Oh, and its free!!! Feel free to share other good (and hopefully free) apps with me guys and gals.
