Running For Charity!

in iPhone, Workouts

That’s right. This morning I Ran for a Charity.
I downloaded this sweet new app called Charity Miles and when I knew I had 3 miles on my plate to run today I knew I had to test it out.
12 - 1
I mean it is for a good cause right?!
Each time you run you can actually pick a different charity to raise money for.

Today I picked Habitat for Humanity!
12 - 5
There are like 6 different charities to choose from now but I’m sure as it takes off there will be more!
{PS: before I forget it also works if you are riding a bike or walking}

You can get it on your iPhone or Android phone. Here is what you do if you want to download it:
-Activate your account by choosing the charity you want to donate to (like Feeding America and Habitat for Humanity).
-Login into the App and go for a run. {I used facebook}
-At the end of your run, complete the workout on the App and voila! – your miles are logged and the donation is made (at no cost to you!)

Runners and walkers earn 25¢ per mile, while bikers earn 10¢ per mile.

Back to my run real fast today called for 3 Easy Miles.. if you put easy in front of it I’ll do easy haha. So I finished at 9:36/mile. Not bad, Not bad.
12 - 2
What did that get me for Habitat for Humanity though?
12 - 12
7 pieces of lumber! It may not seem like a lot but just think thats 7 pieces they didn’t have before! (:
The great part of this though is you don’t have to run to help a good cause. Just turn it on when you are walking around.

Now go go go… download it.. use it… help a charity! (:

This is probably the best news of the day! (:

Hunter can now go down the stairs by himself! yay Hunterrrrr!
