New Year's Resolution Run

Participate in a virtual race--love this idea! The proceeds go to seriously ill children. The runners can choose the best day to run for them (Dec. 30 - Jan. 1), and the route. And to seal the deal, you get a tech shirt and snazzy medal!

Gym-Pact and Kiip Rewards--I'll take it!

Strangely enough, I received a notice from Kiip Rewards that I had earned a free packet of Propel Zero powder for "doing so great on Gym-Pact." At first, I hesitated to click on the "Redeem" button. But I love Propel! So I filled in the form and apparently, they will be mailing this prize in two to four weeks and swear they will not use my email or mailing address for malice.

It is a great idea--Kiip lets any app reward users for various accomplishments. Here is TechCrunch's review.
