 However, however, just so you know, running is part of life, and life is part of running. Here we are. All right, shimmying into the studio, starting off straight in the studio, keeping it a little simpler today. And yes, a couple of boxes arrived, some more shoes that I'm going to open up for you in a minute. But I kept today's vlog a little simpler. I'm recovering from Leadville. It was a big couple days up there at 10,000 feet for running and for filming. You know, I think a lot of people enjoyed the last couple days of vlogs. I appreciate you watching. But sometimes after a big effort in the mountains, I'm just like, all right, I just got to chill out and relax, recover, drink my recovery tea and just unplug. And it is a Saturday, right? You know what I mean? So, and if you've messaged me on Instagram or Twitter in the last 24 hours, no, that's 48 hours. I just haven't been able to respond. I will get to you as soon as possible. Okay, today's run in the Nike Zoomfly 3s, 10 miles. Felt good. There it is on your screen in kilometers as well. And here is the deal. First of all, welcome to all the new subscribers. It's amazing. We did pass 30,000. I think it was yesterday. So welcome. But just so you know, this is definitely, definitely a daily, so daily, 5am mountain time in Denver, Colorado every day. Sometimes I forget to, okay, in the last nine months, I think I've missed the 5am deadline. But usually, every day, 5am daily running content, what I call a daily running vlog. However, however, just so you know, running is part of life and life is part of running. You know what it's like, they're integrated. They are so well integrated. So the fact like there's no way I could just film all running on my own personal YouTube channel because it would feel unauthentic. It feel like I'm holding something back from all of you. Therefore, that is why I'm about to throw down and talk to you about something very exciting in the D'Amore household. So I'm going to stop, throw it back to a clip from last night. You're going to pick up on really quickly what's about to happen. And oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. All right. Get ready for the question of the day. It's coming immediately. Go. Who do you think? Who do you think? He's like, what's going on here? Okay. All right, y'all. Is everybody ready? Duh-duh-duh-duh. Okay. We're finding out everyone with you. What do you think? Oh yeah. Question of the day. Hit pause. Question of the day. Boy or girl? Boy or girl? Cross country team or not? We've got a cross country team. We've got a cross country team. All right. There we go. I love my boys. We have boys. We have boys. Guys, you're outnumbered. You're outnumbered. I'm A-okay. That's right. They're such a great year. So precious. Baby cross country tour team D'Amore coming February 2020. So I have to say right now in D'Amore to Marriott. In high school, where I went to high school for, hold on, Michael's choking. Michael's choking. I think he's going to work it out. Work it out. There you go. Take it easy. I want to just, I don't want to eat too many of those. Okay. In high school, you needed four boys or four girls to form a cross country team in my school. So that's what I'm talking about. What we're talking about. Will we start a cross country team? Yes, we will. Yes, we will. That's right. As we like to say at the D'Amore household, D'Amore, D'Marrier. All right. So boy number four is on his way arriving in February. Oh my goodness. So we've been holding back and holding back for so long for telling all of you. We wanted to wait until we found out boy or girl. So it's official. A little baby boy is on his way. Couldn't be more excited. And yes, we got enough. We got four cross. So again, in class three A here in Colorado, you needed four boys, at least four for a full cross country team. So we got a cross country team now. It's exciting. And if you got the, did you get the question of the day correct? Boy or girl? Let us know down there. So over the past 24 hours, since we found out the news that it's a boy and I've been thinking about cross country teams and starting a cross country team. Who knows? Maybe someday down the road. You never know. I've been thinking about teamwork, teammates, and just especially since it's cross country season right now, which in my humble opinion is the epitome of team sports. Like there's nothing like being on a solid cross country team where everyone is in it for each other and you're sacrificing for each other. And that's frankly what a family has to do to thrive is like you're there in sacrificial love. Like you're there to support each other no matter what. So I was just thinking another question of the day. When was the last time you were on a team? Like whether it's cross country team, track team, maybe a club team. Okay. I don't know if I'll ever be. Okay. But then I just remembered a second ago is the, the world mountain running championships. I'm actually on a team with four other three other guys. I'm the fourth guy going to Argentina. So it's like, I get to kind of, I get to use that, that the sacrifice, but the drive to perform at my best for everybody else that's going to Argentina as well. Like that's going to motivate me 100% and to represent something that's bigger than myself, the United States of America. Like it's just amazing. So anyway, that's the second question of the day. I'll hit it up down below if you have some reflections. Okay. Here we go. Let's, okay, we're going to open up this second, the brown box, this second one. I think I know what's in here, but I'm not positive. So here we go. Thanks for being here everyone and for just supporting the family and just being on this journey together. Okay. Ready for this? One, two, and three. Whoa. Look at that. It's not a shoe box. It's not a shoe box. What the heck is going, A6 in the house. All right, everyone craziness. I haven't worn A6 since high school. That was 2000 to 2004 when I was in high school. Just so you know. Oh, it's, it's a battery. Oh, that's kind of clever. The glide ride. So that's all I wore in high school was A6. Okay. Let's open this up. It's a battery plus minus A6 battery top. Oh man. They're getting creative now. Okay. Hold on. Oh gosh. How do you open this? Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Okay. It's not the easiest to open. Okay. I pulled off the battery top. Okay. We'll put that over here. Oh man. Okay. Hold on. Okay. Okay. Hold on. Okay. Whoa. All right. Here they are. Whoa. Oh my my. The A6 glide ride. Okay, everyone. My next shoe to test out for all of you. A6 glide ride. Frankly, okay. Let me just make sure it's the right size. Yup. The right size. So look at that. Soak it in. I actually like the orange and blue. Shout out to the Broncos. I like the orange and blue there. Okay. Interesting. Look at that outsole. And so, okay. So this will be the next shoe to test for all of you. Hopefully on Monday, I'll keep you posted that I will be able to take this out. Wow. Okay. That's awesome. First A6 in a long, long time. And I know, I know there's some A6 fans out there. Now, I think A6 is catching up a little bit. I'm just going to say it to a lot of other competitors in the running shoe space, but don't count them out. They are still, I think, all right. I'm going to, I'm going to miss, I'm not going to speak correctly here. I think there's still the biggest company in Japan. I could be wrong on that, but they're, they're still a huge company, even though they're not talked about quite as much these days. Okay. Moving on to the second box. Here we go. This one, I do know what is in here. At least I hope it's what arrived today. Hold on here. All right. Bada bing. Bada boom. You know the color of this box. There we go. Oh, my, my. There they are. Okay, everyone. You know the drill. You know the drill. So here's the deal. You know my, my thesis on the Nike next percents. I'm going to bring them to Amsterdam if it rains. Okay. Because I do believe the vapor weave upper in the next percent will not retain as much water compared to the vapor fly four percent flying it, but I wanted a fresh pair a pair. So these be right here. They are right here. This pair is has over a hundred miles in them now. So they're definitely beat up. So I wanted a fresh pair for the race in Amsterdam. Got them for a pretty sweet price. I'll just tell you, I think, I think it was like 145, which I think is pretty good. So there you go. The Nike vapor fly four percent flying it. This is what I will race in in Amsterdam in two weeks from today when you're watching this. So it's just exciting. These guys have done me well. I will save these forever because of really the YouTube, this YouTube channel started to grow pretty rapidly because of these shoes that I'm literally holding right in my hand. So it's exciting. And I love you guys. Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching. And gosh, onward and upward baby boy on his way. And I'm just grateful to be able to share a little bit of this story and this world and this life with all of you through this global platform that we call YouTube every single day. So all love, all love through the camera, through the intro web to you. All right, everyone, tossing it back to a couple old blogs. We're going to go back to an old vapor fly four percent blog from 2018. And on the left, we're going to throw it back to another family blog when Michael was born about 18 months ago. So if you want to go back into the family archives, there it is. All right, big beauty work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
