 boots I think. Just a few moments ago, the Aspen Mountain Ski Patrol deemed the conditions too dangerous to hold America's uphill. While we are disappointed your safety is our first concern, give us a few days to get organized. Bottom line, avalanche danger is too high in the mountains right now. It's like the highest it's been in decades, so I've heard on the radio in different places. Like avalanche danger very high in Colorado right now, so the race is canceled. Should I tell you what shoe I was going to wear? Well that that sign says Redstone, but you can't quite see it. We got some snow last night. Oh my goodness. Here we are. Alright boys, since the race was cancelled today, guess what? You get to wear our bib numbers. How's that sound? You guys want the bib numbers? Here you go. You get to wear the bib numbers so that it's like you're in the race. And guess what? I've got some energy goo thing. Does this sound good? Come over here. Come over here. You ready? These are like, they taste like candy. You ready? There you go. There's one because we got to get ready. We got to get ready for our big run. You want one? I think Joseph should get Joseph's and Seth should get Seth's. You want one more? Okay. Here you go. Yeah, who makes speed cross? Solomon. Seth, what shoes you need? Solomon speed cross. Solomon speed cross. It's a Solomon kind of day. Alright, I'm gonna tighten my shoes and we're gonna go running here with the boys. Running, you got to pace yourself so you want to go slow at the beginning, okay? And then we'll ease into it. Yeah. Yeah. Alright, Seth, you ready? Here we go. Alright, we're gonna go this way. We're gonna run by that red stone sign. Alright, nice and easy. Alright, here we go. Nice and slow. Nice and easy. Good job. Get your bib numbers on. Okay, there you go. Nice and easy. Any pin stops? Nope. Good job guys. You guys have good form. We've got a little side stitch to the situation. We are at elevation and Joseph, what'd you think of the Salamons on your first run? Did you slip at all? No. No slipping? Good. Good grip. Good grip. Guess what, Joseph? That was the best run of my life. Did you know that? Sharing that run with you? With my boy, my boys. We're back at the house. Drinking some hot coffee. Cheers, YouTube. And how crazy is it that last week, remember, what did we talk about? We talked about this. You know, we can keep it broad, but I'd be fascinated to hear like, do you have a go to mental strategy for dealing with disappointment? That's right. If you haven't seen that vlog, go check it out. Talking all about disappointment in training, in racing, and in life. You know, things come up, situations happen, avalanches can happen. And in fact, we heard reports that there were some avalanches in the greater Aspen area this morning, not on the mountain, but just like around Aspen. So like, it's real up here. You got to, you always got to put safety first as a race director. So I think it was a smart call on the race director's part. Obviously, though, we're disappointed. Like, I was ready to rock and roll, baby. I put in a pretty solid two months of training for the Cleveland Marathon. Of course, like, that's the big goal. That's the A race, the peak race. But I was, I was, I was ready for this. I was, I was feeling good. I was feeling confident. You know, when you go into a race and you just have that edge mentally, like, I don't know who's going to be able to hang with me. But obviously, you don't know until you get to the starting line and lace it up and let it lose. So anyway, we move on. We, in fact, yes, remember my training schedule here. Remember, you put, you put things in pen and then you also put things in pencil because sometimes your situation changes. So this is my training log for 2019. I like to write it all out as you know. Well, because I did not race today, I did not put forth a really hard effort and today was going to be a really hard effort. Basically, I'm going to adjust things a little bit and take today as a rest day, tomorrow as a rest day, and probably get back on the saddle early next week because of this situation that has arisen because the race was canceled this morning. So anyway, I'm going to work right now on adjusting things just a little bit and, yes, hop on the computer, start looking for some other races. You better believe it and I'm going to get on Strava because this was canceled and, yeah, we're disappointed. I'm thinking of shooting for some FKTs, so some fastest known times on the front range in the next, you know, so last week I was able to snag the the Mount Morrison FKT. So I'm thinking I'm, you know, anyway, I'm just going to put it out there Mount Sinitas in Boulder. It's a tough one. It's a really stout FKT. So I'm going to do some research right now on Strava and you just, you've got to be flexible when these things happen. And I think we'll do, I think we'll do the keyword canceled. That's got to be the keyword and it's okay. Like you just, you absorb it. Remember how you deal, I deal with disappointment? You kind of mull over it for, today was only like 30 minutes because then I went back to bed for three hours, but I mulled over it for like 30 minutes kind of processed and then you got to cut it off and move on and start researching for the next races. And FKTs. Oh, love you guys. Thank you for being here. That's pretty crazy. Like it just happened. It happened. All right. Diving in. Diving in. How'd we, how'd we do everybody? This is Joseph's truck. This is how, this is how we feel about the race being canceled. Ah, safety third. Safety third. No. Nobody likes to get caught in an avalanche. And we just move on. Right, YouTube family? You just, you embrace this, the disappointment. You embrace it and then you got to put it in the rear view mirror and you got to move on. You see like my brother and I sharing a little, I don't want to say a victory beer, but a move it along beer together at the kitchen table as we're researching, yes, researching more races for the future. Things just are going to change a little bit now because this race was canceled. So I think I actually have a couple races already on my radar for the next six to eight, six to eight weeks, which I will talk to you about tomorrow and share with you what the game plan is going to be moving forward between now and the Cleveland Marathon. So updated the training log today and that's always exciting. And did I tell you this morning? I don't think I even told you which shoe was I going to race in. I was on the fence, I was on the fence, but at the end of the day I was going to go with the Innovate Arctic Claw 300. That's right. Why? Not because of the microspikes. I like the fit of the SpeedCross 5 better. I'll just put that out there. It was the lug depth. That's right. I think the lug depth on the graphene outsole of the Innovate Arctic Claw is is is going to prove to be more durable than the SpeedCross 5. Like I've put over I think over 200 miles into this shoe already. It's getting pretty close and the lugs, yeah, they're already, you know, they're starting to wear out just a teeny tiny bit. So the lug depth is what was going to draw me in the direction of the Innovate Arctic Claw 300 and didn't get to put them through the paces today, but guess what? The sun will rise tomorrow, right? The sun will rise tomorrow. Let's hope, let's hope, right? Let's hope. No. All right. The question of the day. Have you ever had a race canceled on you? If so, what was the situation? What was the scenario? Walk us through it. Tell us a good story down in the comments. I've been running for 20 years and this is the first time that I can remember that a race was canceled. Come straight up canceled. So I'm sure if like maybe you live in Kansas and like tornado warnings are going off and they have to call off a race or maybe you live, I don't know, in like Florida and there's like a hurricane coming like situations happen all around the world. Volcanoes, who knows? Like anyway, if you were scheduled to run a race and it was canceled, let us know what the situation was. Oh my goodness. Seriously, first like I ran in cross-country races in high school with like two to three four inches of snow on the ground. Like anyway, this is, it just blows my mind that this happened today. But listen, avalanches or avalanches, you don't want to be messing with that. You don't want, I don't want to be mad. I don't want to be messing with an avalanche. See beauty, work hard and love each other. We're gonna make it. We're gonna make it, YouTube family. Hold your head up. Hold your head up. See you tomorrow.
