where did that penguin go?

On vacation and (mostly) away from my computer last week, but I did do some running. A nice little two-miler in the open air at the beginning of the week and a five miler on Thursday that left me in a lot of pain, sadly.
I am still having hip problems, obviously. And I don't know if the insert if causing them or if it is just my hip at this point. I had put in the little lift just prior to the two-miler, until then I hadn't been wearing one in my running shoes, and it seems like the pain has increased and is lasting longer. But I am also running more, so it could just be that. I'm supposed to do six today (which isn't going to happen, honestly. But I am going to try and do four) I think I might rip out the lift first. Is this a smart idea? I have no idea if it is or not, but I feel like it might make a difference, so I am willing to try it.
In other news, my shot at veganism has been derailed by my period-week cravings. I just cannot seem to say no when my body really really wants a peanut butter cup. This is why I need to run, and I need it to not hurt so I can run further, because otherwise those peanut butter cups are going to settle in for a long stay on my hips.
