I ran a half marathon yesterday. My original plan was to run a full marathon in October but a lack of training made that unlikely. I scheduled the half marathon this month instead. I still didn’t do very much training but it was enough to finish although at a very slow pace. Here are some of my favorite posts from the Frugal Blog Network and beyond this week.

Frugal Zeitgeist talks about frugality and simple living. This is an explanation of what frugal means to her.
Not Made of Money shares five personal finance gifts for under $25. These gifts will continue to give.
