RunKeeper Pro (Running App): Is Free Through January, Normally $10

RunKeeper Pro—Our Favorite Mobile Running App—Is Free Through January, Normally iOS/Android: Our favorite run-tracking app (and yours) RunKeeper, available for both iOS and Android, is offering a free download of their pro version through January (normally $10).

The free version of RunKeeper is great by itself, tracking your run on a map using GPS and logging your speed, calories burned, pace, and all kinds of great information—which is also can automatically sync to their web site (see screenshot below). In addition to the basic features, RunKeeper Pro adds customizable audio cues (you choose when the personal trainer in your ear updates you on your run stats during your run) and advanced coaching (a tool that allows you to plan your workouts and set goals), among a few other Pro-only features.

RunKeeper Pro—Our Favorite Mobile Running App—Is Free Through January, Normally

The new year is fast approaching, and god knows how many of us have fitness near the top of our resolution lists. RunKeeper isn't the only running app for Android/iOS, but I've used a lot of them, and it's consistently my favorite. (I even paid for the Pro version, and I have a serious and silly aversion to paying for software.) Point is: It's worth a download.

The San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center

 What does a moment cost? To a parent who loses control? To a child whose life changes in that instant? To the community faced with the results? To you?Give Online

3,000,000 cases of child abuse and neglect were reported in this country last year, and 2,000 children died as a result of that abuse. The others suffered in different ways. They endured emotional trauma. They were less likely to be ready for school. They were more likely to have behavior problems, become teen parents, juvenile delinquents, drug and alcohol abusers, and child abusers themselves.

We support families and help them avoid the terrible consequences of child abuse and neglect. We believe a community is better served by taking preventative action to promote healthy families than by reacting to a tragedy. Child abuse is everyone's problem. You can help, and it will only cost a moment.

At the conclusion of every year outside of my donations to the Salvation Army I also like to select two to three charities to make a donation to (yes, you can consider it repentance). This year in addition to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, the SFCAPC will also receive a donation.

I just hope they don't cold call through out the year like the other organizations (ehhmm SF Symphony).
