So far I'm doing really well on my New Year's resolution, which is to try to run every . . . well, often. Any websites or iPhone apps that I can use to help me in these pursuits, I will, because being able to combine my geek life with anything else is the way to make me succeed.

My new social network is the Daily Mile, which lets me post my workouts and the details; whether or not I use the social aspect (I do enjoy the encouragement), having a place to record my progress is a big boost.

And if I ever fulfill my resolution enough, I can use Daily Mile's boards to check out group runs and marathons in my area. It's 2009, anything can happen.
