So while tonight was a day off, yesterday was a day to test out the new shoes I just received from Brooks. The new racing flat, the Racer ST, arrived at my door yesterday and I was eager to give them a go because I was considering them as my Boston shoe. The look awesome and fit well, but they do have a degree of medial posting. I have not worn a posted in shoe in about 6 years, so this feeling was simultaneously odd and familiar. I gave the shoe 30 minutes and I loved everything about it except the posting. To be fair, I felt the posting the most when I walking heavily on my heels looking for it, but I did feel to a lesser degree while running. My concern is this - will it be enough to throw me out a little bit? If so, then..
That Little Bit

big change
Not sure how the change will be felt at 37k, so I think I will experiment with them throughout the summer, but rely on the known Brooks Burn as my race shoe. It kind of makes me a little sad because the Racer ST had an amazing green in it that would have been appreciated by the Irish in Boston.

Smart choice on the shoes. Nothing new is good news. Good luck and have fun in Boston!
