I am an avid runner because it keeps me motivated since I get to spend time outdoors. Luckily, I live in a warmer climate, so I have the opportunity to run most of the time outdoors. One of the biggest issues that I have is wanting to mix up my running track all of the time because I get bored very easily. I decided recently to download iMapMyRun to my iPhone so that I can use GPS to track my running distance. Even better, this app helps me out with the time of my run, as well as the pace and speed that I’m going.

Couple that with the fact that I am a Twitter addict, and I knew that this was the perfect app for me because it integrates Twitter into the app so that you can tweet your running updates. I guess that makes me a little nerdy, but many of my friends are interested in running, and we often run together. That makes it directly relevant to tweet how fast I ran on my recent run because my friends are interested. You can also use voice feedback to motivate and coach you when you are running, which really does work!
