    I am way behind this month on running and keeping up with you guys thanks to some awesome vacations and killer leg pains. I just picked up some new inserts for my shoes that will hopefully stabilize my feet a little better and cut down on some twisting that the guy at the running store says might be a culprit. I have 5 miles in them so far and the pain isn't any worse. Taking another rest day today and see how I feel tomorrow.

    Goal - 45 miles

    6/12 - 1 miles
    6/13 - 2 miles
    6/14 - 2 miles
    6/15 - 2 miles
    6/17 - 2.6 miles

    Getting back into it - knee is still sore, but seems to be getting pushed out every time I run. Today was just tight when I stopped. I ordered one of those ITB compression bands to help so I can train while I work on building my core/hip muscles to fix the root cause.

    6.28 k today for a total of 62.2/70 k for the month.

    A typhoon may hit us in the next few days. That will mean one of three things will happen. 2 of which I can run in, 1 of which I cannot. 1) no effect on the weather 2) rainy and perfect running weather 3) torrential monsoon downpours. Need I explain which one is not running weather? :lol:

    Still fighting to rid myself of the last of my cold. Ugh... puts me seriously behind where I ought to be for volume this month.

    Despite that, had a great Father's Day run with the whole family - it's been probably 10 years since we all last ran together. Very nice to be able to do this, easily, this year when last year it would have been physically impossible for me.

    Alrighty running peeps.
    No run for me this weekend- not even any hiking- bestie got hammered and was barely functional the next day- so we just kind of took the day off and hung out in the pedestrian mall. I was disappointed but eh- it happens.

    BUT. I would also like to selfishly redirect to my post and to not spam this up but want to consult the professionals:

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10194026/favorite-running-programs-and-go?new=1

    Any thoughts welcome!
