Driven by Technology

I've sadly realized that without technology, I would not be as inclined to workout. Heaven forbid I leave the house without my iPhone. In fact, I probably wouldn't do a run without it. My iPhone contains the most essential part of my run...the playlist. My music keeps me going. It's my escape from whatever is going on that day and I run just to hear what song will pop up next. Also important is my Runkeeper app (http://runkeeper.com) It keeps track of all  my runs, times, and routes that I've been on. It lets me know how much I've ran each month and gives me cool rewards for each achievement I do. Another cool feature on it is my street team. It allows me to run with friends thousands of miles away.  I can compete with others to see how many miles they've run, etc. (Ashley if you are reading this...I only have 10 miles left for this month!!)

It's technology that drives my run and appeals to my need for music and competition. Without it, I wouldn't be able to do as much.
