App For That: Make-Believe Mom

I did not run in last week's mini-marathon, but I had planned on it. I even bought an app for my iPad called the "Half-Marathon Coach." It comes with all the information and tools needed to prepare for the mini marathon, with personalized training schedule, daily workout tracking, diet and hydration plans from nutritionists, and it even allows you to program your music so certain songs play at certain points in the race. This app has the right information — but really an app isn't an app until its applied. The problem I had was not an information problem. The problem was an application problem.
