Happy New Year…Now Get That Tush Into Gear – Part 2

A great app for tracking your outdoor activity is MapMyRun. MapMyRun uses the GPS feature to track and log your pace, live route map, distance, calories and elevation. I’ve used it mainly for running and walking, but you can also track a hike, stairs, biking, swimming (hopefully with a waterproof case) and all sorts of other exercise. I love it for tracking how far I’ve run outside and to see what my pace was. It will also give you voice prompts when you’ve gone a mile, or two, three, four…etc.

MapMyRun. is a free app and definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of keeping track of your progress.

  • Need to Charge Multiple iPhones or iPods?

    This day in age a vast majority of us have iPods–and now many of you have iPhones. As much as we love our gadgets, it can sometimes be a pain to charge one at a time, so which one do you pick?

    Leave it to Griffin Technology to solve that issue–one that I am surprised was not figured out sooner! The “PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once! It can sit on your desk, beside, by the front door, wherever you will remember to charge it. This gadget won’t hook up to your Mac–it has no ports other than the AC on the back–but I like the fact that you don’t have to have everything plugged into your Mac at all times.

    I also like the “Griffin PowerDock 2”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 because the thought of having my iPod or iPhone in the dock is more calming to me than just leaving my Apple gadget on the desk (in case it fell off–iPhone screen replacements are expensive!). A $39.99 price point seems fair to charge your devices to me! Most single iPod/iPhone chargers are about $19.99-$29.99 and this way you don’t have to worry about buying a sync cable as well. It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely (which is obviously super important!).
