Kelly and Ben make news in the Austin Newspaper:

If you're looking for some extra motivation to stick to your exercise plan, take a look at a new social training log at www.dailymile.com.

The Austin-based Web site allows you to share workouts with friends, ask questions, log miles and find training partners. Created by two college buddies, the site went live last week. It's free to join.

"Not everybody's in a group where they can share day-to-day training," says co-founder Kelly Korevec, an ultra-marathoner. "When you see people going through the same experience, struggling, it's like they're collectively going through it with you. Instead of having a coach, you have a community of athletes who will help you with your training and help you make decisions. It makes it easier."

Korevec started the site with Ben Weiner, who is training for the Austin Marathon. "We found there's not a really good way to stay in contact with friends you meet working out," Korevec says. "We decided to create this tool to help people collaborate and learn from each other."
