I take it you´re not running on pavement. If so, cut that out NOW.

Second, as for footwear, have someone properly diagnose your motion/stride/strike (I´m not sure an LA fitness dude or dudette watching you run on a treadmill qualifies).

Good brands IMNSHO and in no particular order:

Asics
Mizuno
Brooks
Saucony
New Balance

You´ve made significant advances in only 9 weeks, you´re not overtraining, are you (that 2 hours a day surely isn´t 7 days a week, is it?)?

proper form negates any of this shite

focus on your form and don't increase your distance too much, too fast

1. I am running on the road in my neighborhood
2. The trainers at my non-LA fitness, more upscale gym are very knowledgeable
3. Thanks for the recommendations
4. I did a program at the gym with lots of HIIT, boxing, kickboxing, weight training, running, swimming, etc. boot camp like program. We met twice a week for personal training and 2-3 times per week to take classes or run or swim or do whatever on our own. I typically went Monday through Thursday from 5:30-8. It was good fun. whipped me back into shape.
