Q: Foursquare or Gowalla?
A: I can’t choose. I use all 3. 3? Yup! You forgot Facebook Places. Foursquare definitely has the users and more activity. Gowalla def has the best aesthetically pleasing design out of all 3. Facebook places is cool because every one of your friends has it so it’s a bit more personal.

A: Run! If I get to a point where I can’t concentrate anymore, I will stop and go run sprints and other drills. Usually the more explosive stuff is better if you want to release endorphins quick. Endorphins are yummy. So are KKKOOOOOOOOKKKKIIIIEEEESSSSS!!!
