Hooked up with a few Black Sheep at Foothill for a short recovery run. I didn't have any soreness, at least until we started running. I could still feel the quads and IT bands coming down Sunnyside by the Zoo.

Hey Chad,

Do you wear racing flats? I need some suggestions b/c I am looking to buy a pair. AS far as I am concerned, they all feel terrible, but are light as a feather.

No flats for me. I wear the Asics DS Trainer for racing. It's much lighter than my regular training shoe (Asics Gel Kayano), but still has enough cushioning, stability and motion control to feel good in a long race. I believe Mike Kirk races in flats, you might ask him for recommendations.

I do wear racing flats but I also blew my foot up at St. George. I wear Brooks ST Racer. They are okay but nothing special. I think if you are fairly light on your feet then you can get away with flats but if you have any need for support stick with DS Trainers.

Nice picture! The form looks good, at least in the captured phaze of the gait.
