AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Another run by myself because of Preference Assembly practice. I ended up winning Best Legs which is pretty cool.

PM - 6 miles. 45 min easy. Just got miles in at the track meet since I wasn't racing today. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Do you wear socks with your spikes? I've always wore socks with my spikes but I've seen quite a few people go sockless in their spikes when they race. I'm not exactly sure why they do it because I would probabaly get some nasty blisters if I did that. Comment below which you do and why.

Great topics lately Cam.

This is a tough one. I don't race in spikes a lot, but I've run a couple longer track races over the past few years (5k/10k) sockless and it went fine. But then in 2013 I ran a XC race in no socks and ripped my heels apart.

I think it depends on the spikes. If you are wearing really high end luxury dope spikes, you can probably go sockless. This would apply to the Saucony Endorphin LD and Saucony Carrera XC only.

I'll probably always wear socks in the future.

And socks, any brand.

Man I replied within seconds but Rob's comment is already gone. Yes I recommend Saucony spikes.
