I am a follower! Which shoe? Tough choice...I would love another pair of Green Silence, but the T7 racer and the Mach spikeless series intrigue me as well...but I have tried on (and loved- but didn't buy) the Cascadia as well!

Desperately need a new pair! Training for a 70.3 in Augusta and am pretty sure my current pair will be worn out by then :)

I would use a pair of Brooks to try a lighter running show. I wear Asics Gel Nimbuses, which I love, but they're a little clunky.

I would alternate my new Brooks in with my current Asics trainers. I get to run doubles every now and then, and a second pair of shoes would be better, especially on double days.
