Even if you're a cardio fanatic, running on a treadmill can become a bit stale. To fight boredom you need to mix up your program with intervals and adding incline work. I just made a downloadable version of four of my favorite treadmill workouts, so now you don't have to go to the gym empty handed and come up with cardio routines on the fly.

There are a ton of travel planning sites, but I just found my new favorite. Duffel (find the site at duffelup) calls itself "a trip-planning tool for people who are not planning any trips," but it's pretty handy for actual trip planning, too.
Sign into the site to create trips — real or imagined — to any place in the world.
