Living Vicariously: A Running Start
I was equal parts excited and terrified when I started training for my first marathon a few years ago. So, obsessive online researcher that I am, I scoured the Internet for exercise routines, advice - anything to make the prospect of running 26.2 miles (in a row!) less daunting. I happily discovered Active.com and, three marathons later, it has become my favorite resource for running, tennis, and the nine other sports it covers. The site features training schedules, performance tips, and information about local sporting events (which has been super helpful to me since I moved to New York from D.C. a few months ago). I'm also a fan of the discussion boards, where fellow athletes share ideas like iPod workout playlists (Cake's "The Distance" is a fave). After all, when it comes to exercise, we could all use a little rallying.
