Everyday Health - Hit the Road: How to Start a Running Program - Weight Center, Feb 14, 2012

"According to a national survey of 6,207 people, about one in 10 jog or run as part of their weight management or weight-loss strategy. Runners edged out other dieters in terms of reaching overall weight loss goals.
Running is a challenging form of exercise that builds aerobic fitness and heart health as it seems to melt away fat. Calories burned from running vary depending on your pace, but estimate about 100 calories per mile if you run five miles an hour."
