While it's no secret that constant stress is bad for your mental and physical health, we often focus on finding small ways to lower our day-to-day stress while ignoring our need to take some time off and recharge. Whether we feel bad that our neighbors can't afford a vacation, or that we're needed too much at the office, there are a lot of reasons we may feel guilty about taking a week off. Behavior site Psychology Today reminds us that vacations are an important part of staying healthy, and that we shouldn't feel guilty for taking them (nor should we chide others for doing the same). Hit the link to for tips on creating an optimal stress-killing vacation, and be sure to share your own tips in the comments. Photo by silverfox863. More »

Road tested: Runkeeper, Runmeter, 321Run and Trailguru

Filed under:

Exercise apps are a highly personal decision. That's because there are so many ways apps can match -- or impede -- your style. Take Trailguru, for example. I've been using it for quite some time, happy with many little touches the application brings to the table. It's an application written by a person who obviously loves hiking and biking, and understands what tools need to be provided for the user.

Unfortunately creator Tim Park has not updated Trailguru since January 2009, and its age is starting to show. White it's a free application, Trailguru could easily have been monetized. It offers a dedicated website/wiki, excellent onboard algorithms, and a highly usable (albeit ugly as sin) interface.
