Sandals to Sandals 10K
Sandals Resorts International is most often known for their spectacular vacation accommodations in the Caribbean. They offer cozy rooms overlooking pristine beaches and wonderful cuisine with tropical drinks that is all included. They are fabulous, trust me. I’ve tested them out a few times.

Here are seven reasons [...]

World Run Day 2008

Train for Humanity — Where Blogging and Fundraising Meet
Fed up with watching humanitarian crises on the evening news and not doing anything to help, a group of bloggers (most notably, Leo Babauta of Zen Habits) have created and founded the non-profit Train for Humanity, an online humanitarian awareness and fundraising organization.
Train for Humanity’s mission is to utilize the web, social media, and blogging, [...]
