Why I'm a greatist: I'm an advocate for healthful living for the entire body, mind and soul! I've beaten an eating disorder, got into running after my mom's 2nd breast cancer diagnosis, coached hundreds of charity runners to complete half marathons, a new mom, married to an auditor, owner of a great Boxer pup and try to balance this while working full-time as a telecommuting web worker.
Looking for a racewalking trainer
I used to coach runners for Team Challenge and the National Walk Coach is Dave McGovern, a champion racewalker. He's got a pretty good website full of information on the sport.

Favorite App for Runners
I have been really impressed by iSmoothRun for GPS tracking, it's got a lot of cool features.
I also really like Runner's Log. It does have a GPS tracking feature, but when I first stumbled upon it the app was simply a log. You could track your shoe mileage and keep all kinds of personal notes about your run. (Things like what you ate, if something didn't sit right with you, clothing that irritated you, etc. Stuff you might not want to share on a social network, but could be helpful if you are looking for patterns in your training.)
