They make you look fast? .
Based on that 180 equation thingy, I could have gotten my BQ three years ago if I'd only cut off four ounces of my hair right before the race.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

The weight difference between trainers and flats is usually less than the amount a person's weight changes over the course of a day.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I'd like to hear about your experience using flats for racing and how much you improved your time. Also, any recommendations for particular brands/models of flats. Thanks, Tom
The weight difference between trainers and flats is usually less than the amount a person's weight changes over the course of a day. Don't believe me? Just weight yourself when you wake up and when you go to bed. On a given day, you can easily gain 2-4 pounds, mostly fluid. You breathe it away (or pee it away if you are old like Scout) at night.

What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes.
