1. Boston Marathon I was once a good runner. Not Olympic/NCAA good, but better-than-most-road racers good. I ran 32:50 for 10K and 50:59 for 15K and several times tried training for a marathon, but on each occasion got injured. This was 25 years ago. Now I have arthritis in one knee and can't run much, so I ride a bike. I have covered many Boston Marathons, but never ran it. I wish I had. I wish I had just sucked it up, qualified, and run it once relatively slowly, even in the years long after my prime.

I am training for a half-marathon in January 2010. I have lost 50 pounds and still need to lose 50 more. I don't know where to set my calorie allowance to lose weight but still fuel my body for my running schedule. I am running 3 short runs (3-4 miles) and 2 long runs (6-8 miles) per week, at a pace of 11 minutes per mile. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!
