    Are you getting the right amount of arch-support from your shoes? If shifting the cleats doesn't work, you might want to try replacing the insoles before you shell out a whole lot of cash for new shoes and/or pedals.
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

    I posted a little update in the "Tricks' forum, but I wanted to let you know my hands and feet are doing much better today. I sat back a bit more on the seat which helped my feet (although still not completely pain free) and by relaxing my shoulders more, my hands relaxed as well and the pain dissipated soon thereafter. If, after a few more days of riding I don't feel pain free in my feet, I'll take my shoes and bike in to the LBS to have my cleats adjusted and perhaps get some different pedals. My cleats are placed at the ball of my foot, but maybe a fraction of an adjustment will make the difference I need. The shoes feel great on my feet and the fella said they were very good, so maybe before purchasing a new pair, I'll do as tlkiwi suggested and purchase some insoles. Whatever I need to do, I'll do as I want the most comfortable ride possible.
