Hi,
You had left me a post on RunnersWorld about a book you used when you started. There are multiple titles coming up. Can you send me the author? I have many more questions and will probably be “running” to you frequently. (sorry for the pun)

Also, Jenny Hadfield and John Bingham have a GREAT book for newbies – check it out too..

Hey-
My girlfriend SWEARS by this website that helps you count calories by restaurant, food portion, etc. I haven’t tried it myself, but I thought I’d pass along the info:

Hi! I am currently on WW and have lost 36 pounds. I weigh 320 pounds right now. I would love to start running, but I am still recovering from plantar fasciitis. Do you have any tips or recommedations? I really want to become a runner, but I don’t want to hurt myself. Any advice you give is greatly appreciated.
