I'm a pretty intense amateur runner. I've run the Chicago Marathon twice now and the Boston Marathon once.

I run a cd rates website for a living. When you want to open a certificate of deposit, you should always make sure you shop around first. You should check online to see what rates are available from the online banking sector. Bank rate websites such as mine often can find the best deals. You can also get reviews of the banks before you commit to them. This advice holds true for any banking product like checking account or savings accounts.
