Oh, man Drinking tea as well tea with honey It's not necessarily local honey if anybody has had any success with eating local honey To help alleviate allergies Certainly, let me know down in the comments because honey tastes delicious and I would eat honey all day But especially if it helps with allergies, but so far not really working But it is from Trader Joe's So it's uh, it's supposed to be chilly in the morning. It might be raining. Oh, man We'll just see how it how it turns out. But I am going so the gear is ready But I might add some arm sleeves, maybe even gloves a light um Hat basically for my ears and yes, I am gonna give the morton sports mix A a test drink mix. I guess it's called. This is the hydro gel sports fuel Drink mix pro the 320. So I'm giving it a shot. I'm gonna try it tomorrow. I've got four bottles So I'm going back to wash park. It'll be five and a half Approximately five and a half to six laps around So I will be able to pick up four bottles throughout the throughout the circuit And it's just gonna be fun. It's gonna be hard But it's gonna be it's gonna be fun excited to give the morton a shot. So anyway, let's go mix it up And here we go. All right. Just taking it easy today getting ready for tomorrow's run Just a nice day of rest easy three miles, uh bopping along through denver and okay For all the new subscribers, there's a lot of you. It's amazing. I think the last time So what happens on this youtube channel? Well, we used to go live every wednesday night at 7 p.m Mountain time and in addition to that and what we what we did on wednesdays is we basically just We talked about running and different running topics different running shoes and in addition we went live Once a month for a running shoe giveaway. That's right. Basically we had the idea as a collective youtube family I would say man three or four months ago to Get shoes running shoes in the hands of runners Are literally around the world who truly truly need them remember this gentleman from slovenia. He sent me these pictures That's right. We are in the process of connecting him with another gentleman in slovenia to get him some new running shoes to replace those So Also, so we we did that the last one was let's see it's april I guess it would have been late march or maybe early april We did the last running shoe giveaway and these running shoe giveaways are for people who truly need Running shoes like they just can't like maybe they're in college and they're working two extra jobs and like Money is tight or maybe they it's a a young family who you know the the oldest needs braces and I don't know the rent just went up and like money is tight like it happens to all of us money gets tight at times Or maybe you're in high school and your parents just straight up can't afford to buy you new running shoes There's all sorts of different situations out there that um allow you to put your name in the hat for the running shoe giveaways Well, as you know, we went live for the boston marathon last week and got a copyright strike on this youtube channel What does that mean? It basically means uh, it was the first copyright strike i've ever received on this channel So that's good that it was the first one youtube has a nice basically after three months that copyright strike is taken away And it's just forgotten completely. Um, so I but there's a chance We will not be able to go live on this youtube channel until July 14th because let's see april. Yeah may june july The only way we will be able to go live on this youtube channel is if flow sports Retracts the copyright strike and I've emailed them and emailed them and explained the situation and like Just asking them to tell me why of course I they won't respond to me So therefore here is the keyword is vote and the question of the day Let me see if I can lay this out as clear as possible. We're gonna circumvent youtube. That's right We're gonna go around youtube if they won't let us live stream. Uh, oh, yeah, and why are we doing this? Basically My house is uh, you know, it's under 1100 square feet. It's not the biggest house out there So real estate is prime inside the house and all of these running shoes continue to arrive And if you are a new subscriber and you have gently used running shoes that you would like to get in the hands of people Who truly need them? I'm happy to be that middleman to connect your shoes to somebody that needs them But because of your generosity The corner in my room in my house is starting to fill up So there's no way we can wait until july to do the next running shoe giveaway We got to do it as soon as possible probably. I don't know an official date yet It's either gonna be in late april or early may so here's the question of the day And yes, I need your vote and then that's the keyword. All right question of the day Do we do the next running shoe giveaway live on facebook? So I have a facebook page Uh, it's down below. Do we do it live there? Or I also have a an email list Powered through mail chimp. So all your emails would be secure and basically you would you would sign up for the email list And then I would send out an email like three days before maybe four days before the giveaway Asking you to submit your name To the giveaway if you truly truly need running shoes. So there's two options for this question of the day Do we go live on facebook on my facebook page? For the next giveaway or do we do it pre-recorded and I will basically Receive names via email now I realize some people don't check their email very much and some people maybe don't use facebook at all anymore Um, so anyway, it's like I don't know what else to do except for those two options You can also go live on twitter, but I know a lot of people don't have twitter So those are the two options just right down below facebook or Email, okay, and then based on the sentiment of this youtube family We will make a decision as to how we will do the next running shoe giveaway. All right movement on Thanks for that for listening to that Okay, it gets better the running shoes scholarship. So guess what I'm gonna give away some shoes right now Basically, we also had the idea about two months ago to start a running shoes scholarship Um, it's gonna take some work and I just don't have time yet But I will say like someone last week sent some shoes His name is curt and he wrote in his letter That he would like a particular set of shoes to go to a high school Ladies cross-country runner who truly truly needs them. Okay, so high school ladies out there Remember at the last live stream giveaway. We did not have any lady shoes. I felt so bad So guess what the Nike pegasus 35 turbos are being given away right now to a lady and curt also asked That the same girl gets some cross-country spikes. That's right So basically setting you up for success in the fall for the cross-country season, but here's the trick You got to email me your story. Tell me why you need these shoes. Like what's your situation? Don't worry. I'll keep it completely confidential and the the turbos, but here's the other trick So the turbos are size six and a half size six and a half And the cross-country spikes are size seven and I bet they you know cross-country spikes I can tell they they're running a little small So basically if your foot is a size six and a half You're gonna get these two shoes and you're gonna be set up for the cross-country season again If you are a cross-country coach if you are a track coach spread the word to high school ladies out there that really Might be in a tough situation and cannot afford Um cannot afford to buy new shoes for the upcoming cross-country season Let them know I want to mail these to to them as soon as possible And there you have it that is the update for the next running shoe giveaway Vote down below facebook live or the email list and obviously the email list will not be live I'll just pre-record it and then draw names out of the box Based on whoever signs up for the email and lets me know that yeah, I could really use some new running shoes That's it today folks. I love you. Thank you for being here I gotta get to bed so I can get up early get this threshold work on and I think I'm gonna be able to do it I'm slowly feeling better Through these allergies. So anyway, what a great day. I love you. See beauty work hard For real for real
