I’m not even exaggerating! I do a ton of online shopping. And even when I visit brick and mortar establishments, I do my research online, before I go, so I’m armed with the latest coupons and promo news. This goes for small purchases like accessories and clothing, as well as larger buys like tech gadgets and trips.

Since 1998, SciTechDaily has been mostly known for their technology and science news, but recently jumped into the coupon/promo code game. Always a welcome move! That’s what people are looking for these days.

And going right along with their technology theme, you can browse for a number of different deals like a Newegg promo code or even Vistaprint coupons. I’ve purchased from both of those companies, in the past, who are almost always running promos. As a matter of fact, a lot of my backup computer peripherals come from Newegg. I have an unopened Power Supply sitting on the floor of my room right now! And I’ve previously gotten some business cards, for a side project, from VistaPrint.

So, why not add another coupon code and promo resource to your bookmark list? You can never save too much money, can you? Didn’t think so!

We’re starting Week 8 much like we did the previous week; with 2 running intervals! Except this week they’ll be 30 minutes apiece with a 5 minute walking recovery in between.

Runtime is 1:14:25.

Or at least that’s what I tell myself! Since another Mother’s Day is now in the books, with my Mom just as happy as always, I feel so happy to have her in my life. And even though I try, every year, not to think too much about the future, I do. My parents are both retired, so even though they’re both in pretty good health, I do worry about them. Why? Because that’s what good kids do! (How’s that for a guilt trip?!)

I’m just kidding. Kind of. I really do think about these things, even though I wish I didn’t. I also worked in a hospital, as a registrar, for a year. So, that lingers on my mind. I had to check patients in and make sure their insurance information was up-to-date. So naturally I think about my parents’ medical coverage and if they have enough of it.

They’re just a few years away from Medicare kicking in, but I definitely want them to have a Medicare supplement. As is the case with most purchases we make, being able to go to a website and compare prices, plans, and other pertinent info is always important. This is no different. That’s where Plan Prescriber comes in.

First thing you see is a form. You can plug in your info to begin comparing plans and finding an agent. Or you can check out a chart (at the bottom of the page) that shows you the standard plans and points out the difference between each of them. This includes co-pays, deductibles, emergency coverage, and more.

And if you’re not ready for that yet, there’s an intro video as well. This is where I’d begin if you’re not familiar with Medigap plans.

It’s an inevitable thing that our parents are going to get older. There’s only one alternative to this fact, and I definitely don’t want that! So, I keep these things in the back of my head, just in case. Better to be prepared, than not, right? That’s what I thought too.

Ok, I think I’m all caught up for this week! Behold Week 7, Day 3′s workout, which is a long 50 minute run; no intervals!

Week 6, Day 3 cuts your walking recovery down to 1 minute in between your three 20 minute running intervals. Runtime: 1:14:49

I have absolutely no idea why this workout is longer than Day 2′s when it should be shorter. The obvious answer is that I messed it up somewhere down the line lol. If you stumble across an error, please let me know so I can adjust it. It’s late, and I had a super busy day, so my mind isn’t quite as sharp as it usually is!

Thanks, everyone!

Sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back on track releasing these. I hope I didn’t hold too many of you up! But, as usual, life gets in the way. Or specifically the Divergent books. (That’s a post for another day, though!)

Week 6 begins with 3 repititions of 20 minute run followed by a 3 minute recovery. This workout is longer than usual. Runtime is 1:16:56.
