I finally decided that I wanted to get into better shape again, and since my husband started running about 2 years ago, I thought I would take up running, too. He uses the Nike+ app on his iPhone, which I wanted to do as well. But I also needed something to guide me as I started running, so I have been using Couch to 5K along with it.

Let me give you a bit of a rundown of each app and why they work for me.
