I have been on a reduced training mileage for since 14 February 2007. Up to that date, I have been able to run 5 km 4 to 5 times a week notwithstanding my right knee meniscus and cartilage problem. Ocsasionally I even managed to do some tempo runs of 20 minutes. My eagerness to get back into shape fast and nmy ever ready desire to run everday brought my downfall. As it is now, I have a sore right knee most of time. I am still trying to run as often as I can.
I've had some success in my quest to lost 6 kilogram weight. I think I have lost about 1 or 2 kg over the past one month. I can't lose a lot of weight by running due to the limited mileage I run nowadays. So I am compensating by eating less food. I often don't eat lunch in particular on the days where I don't run. For dinner, I only eat one small bowl of rice. It is not a Malay custom to eat in a bowl instead of a plate but that is what's I have to do for portion control.
I have also implemented another rule "Eat until I am 60% full". Way back in year 2000 I also followed the same rule when I lost 6 kg but I also ran 50 km a week then. Honestly I cannot figure out why anyone would eat until they are completely stuffed.
"Eat to Live" I say instead of "Live to eat".

Take care of that knee injury. I can sympathize. I've been suffering for 2 months with a bad left shin splint. If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles. I have a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it. Let me know how your progress is going.
