Thank goodness for this smartphone application, which lets you multitask by fulfilling two worthy resolutions simultaneously.

Charity Miles is endowed with an initial $1 million in corporate sponsorships. Of course, users are encouraged to share their accomplishments with friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter. After each session is complete, you can not only brag about how far you ran (or rode), but also promote the charity that you are supporting.
