			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://runningwithoutmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/active1.gif" alt="" title="active1" width="300" height="193" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-164" />A year ago, <a href="http://www.active.com" target="_blank">Active.com</a> was a so-so website for all things activity-based, from swimming, running, to team sports. I first learned about it when I registered for my first marathon. It was a wealth of information, especially the running articles I subscribe to via e-mail, but I never really used it because it was too slow, and the UI was clunky. I&#8217;m a visual person, and I understand and appreciate well thought out design. I noticed a few redesigned elements a few months ago, but never really dove into it. </p>
<p>Today, I decided to go back to <a href="http://www.active.com" target="_blank">Active.com</a> to look up old marathon times, and also to get more inspiration for content for this site. I logged into my account, I was caught by surprise. I thought, &#8220;Nice! This would have been so useful during my training season!&#8221; It&#8217;s <strong>MyActive</strong>, their personalized portal for your athletic interests.</p>
<p>What do I mean? Let me tell you about the features I was exposed to. Depending on your location, it displays the upcoming events based on the activities you&#8217;re interested in. You can search and claim all your past race results. Yes, ALL. I searched my results and it showed my old Nike Run Hit Remix 5Ks and my other marathons. Active Trainer is another feature where you log your daily training stats: how you feel, your health vitals, how far you&#8217;ve run etc. You can also map your runs, share it with the Active community, and also search for other people&#8217;s routes. There&#8217;s some social aspect to the site too, where you can interact in the forums and ask whatever questions you may have about your favorite activity. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve only touched the surface of what this website is all about. I&#8217;m sure most of you who are in Team in Training already have an account with Active.com because of your fundraising pages, but I invite you to roam around MyActive, I know I am. </p>
