Carolyn Hax, on Scoffing Others Dietary Choices
Dear Carolyn: I have been dating a smart, funny, interesting, handsome, caring man for eight months. I could see myself sharing a life with this guy . . . except for one thing.

Marathon Next Sunday & Getting a Cold
Hello! I'm running my first marathon next Sunday (hopefully). Not going for any crazy PR, I just need to finish in under a 14 min/mile pace (when the bridge closes, I'm actually shooting for 10:30/11 min/mile).

Re-Starting After Maintaining for a Long Time
Hello! About 6 years ago, when I was 21, I weighed 220 lbs (wearing a tight size 18). I was overweight, out of shape, and mildly asthmatic. The turning point for me was doing my study abroad in Southeast Asia. I had this moment when I was dragging my *kitten* up a mountain in the Cambodian jungle to see a hidden temple (I…
