May Goal = 60 miles

Way too many miles! :D C'mon, what's a poor college student to do? And you're going to cringe here - they're my daily wear shoes too. So after I run in them, I shower, put on fresh socks and wear them all day. I wasn't kidding when I said they had no tread. Ok, I'm done talking about my poor worn shoes. Carry on.

You guys are awesome! I appreciate that you took the time to share your experiences and provide advice.

runner 475 - Thanks for following up and being supportive. And congratulations to YOU on your fitness successes! Currently, I'm inconsistent with my training and food-logging as my family just moved across the country and I'm trying to finish up my PhD dissertation. Ahh! I try to log in MFP but oftentimes fail to report…

Whew! It sounds like I'm not the only one. Thank you all for the advice! I will try having an immediate and clean post-run snack to stave off the afternoon munchies. I've always run solo and kept my concerns/successes/questions to myself, so it's nice to finally be in a community of health-conscious individuals (even if…
