I’ve really been wanting to try out Charity Miles, but I always forget because I don’t use my phone to track my runs.
I rarely listen to music when I run. I used to listen to it ALL THE TIME when I ran…but over the summer I got so used to running with my sister, that when I started running alone again, I just never remembered to grab my headphones. Once I got used to it, I really started to enjoy some of the more meditative qualities of running.
I downloaded Charity Miles and keep forgetting to use it! Darn it!
Map My Run is also wonderful if you have a device that you can use it on. It’s amazing that you can get technology like this for free, isn’t it?
I don’t use any running apps on my phone, but I only joined the smart phone crowd a couple of weeks ago. Still figuring this thing out!
I run with a Garmin usually. On some runs I stalk the pace like crazy, but on most runs I just want to know down to the hundreth of a mile how far I ran 🙂
Sometimes I listen to music when I run, but only on trails/paths, never when I’m running on roads. When I do bring my music along I keep one ear bud out so I can hear what’s going on around me.
