I've gotten a nice response from some folks who have been trying the running plan in the book, and it has been very gratifying. The discussion on the Run Your Butt Off! Facebook page is lively. And this article in the Boston Globe on the Monday of the Boston Marathon offered a very balanced look at the exercise/appetite dilemma. If you're new to running, please let me know how it's going! As for me, I'm attempting the Lehigh Valley Half-Marathon on Sunday. It's my first "halfie" in two years. Fingers crossed.
