 This is Seth DeMore calling you. Hey, doing well, thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I know, it was, and listen, I'm right with you. I love the shoe, I love the ride, and the upper feels amazing. Honestly, I don't know, like I said in the video, it's my first pair of on shoes, but I'm kind of excited about them. I really am, like I don't know, there's something about it that, so I mean, yeah, once the snow melts a little bit here in Denver, and I'm excited to just take them out on the pavement and put miles into them, so. I'll keep you posted. All right, you have a good day. All right, bye. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. There you have it, just got off the phone. You were correct, YouTube, you were correct. You told me to either return the shoes, the on shoes that tore, or to call them, email them, tweet at them, whatever it took to get their attention and let them know about the tear in the upper. Guess what? Guess what? They are gonna take care of me. This gentleman I just spoke with, a representative from on, they're gonna take care of me, and they were so sorry that it happened, and I told them, like, listen, I love the shoe, I love the ride, it feels good so far, but this little defect, maybe it was a defect, I don't know what happened, but bottom line on, thank you for taking care of me. That's amazing, and I cannot wait to get a new pair and put them through the paces for all of you, so don't worry, everyone, the on review is on, baby, it's on. Just arrived at the Boulder Running Company, and I just, I'm on my way to my run today, just thought I'd stop by, show them the tear on the on upper, just to see, get their opinions on it, and anyway, so let's go in, see what they think, see what they think. Keith, how you doing, sir? Good to see you, I like the hat. I'm gonna, I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you look at the tear, so I'll let you see if you can find it. Usually it's at a seam spot. Yeah, right under there, look under there. Oh man, doesn't, yes. Isn't that crazy? So first tie, and, but, good news, on is gonna take care of me. On, that their customer service, amazing, out of foam, oh my goodness. Are you kidding me, are you kidding me, is this another, is this same one? Same one. Same one, okay. Now do you think it was a, a lot of people were commenting like, who knows, maybe it could've been a defective pair. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. Oh my goodness, are you, are you guys sure? You're amazing. I've got another question for you. The speed cross five, it's coming, right? You don't have a date yet, okay. Taking, taking care of me, taking care of me. Oh, it zipped out. I'm out of here. You may have went up front. We're, we're out, oh, I thought I saw someone up there. Nope, we're out and we're in the warehouse, looking for the, looking for the, the boss man. This is, do you know this guy? I do not. This guy went to my high school. Matt Hemingway, the Univista High School. I see this. Yeah, he went, he's, he is, took silver medal at the 04 Olympics in the, in the high jump. So that is, I'd recognize him immediately. He's like our, our hometown hero. So Keith taking care of me again. Boom, appreciate it. All right, thank you. All right, we're off, off to Deer Creek. Keith's favorite place, right? Oh yeah, shoelace, you know, oh yeah, those are the real ones, right? Yeah, right. No, I will not be taking the Ons on the trail. All right, thank you, Keith. Appreciate it. Keith is the best. Kurt is the best here at the BRC in Littleton. Come check him out. And man, they got me a new pair just like that. Oh man, but on, so are you. So holy guacamole, don't know what to do. Just grateful. Just gotta remain grateful folks for good running shoe companies that have great customer service and running shoe stores that have great customer service. It's the bottom line in, oh, past my car. Bottom line in the 21st century. All right, Deer Creek, I'm coming for you. All right, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, calling an audible, not gonna run at Deer Creek today. Basically, Deer Creek has a little more vertical and since it's my first week back, trying to chill out, not go too crazy. So we're calling an audible. We are at South Valley Park and I'm waiting for Steve and Maddie to show up. It's gonna be so fun. Probably squeezing a couple of miles before they get here. But I think we'll go four or five miles, nothing too crazy. And again, a shout out to the Boulder Running Company for taking care of me with this on lineup here. Basically, this is the on cloud and I know this is not the go-go-to running shoe from on. Maybe a little more in the category of a cross trainer, but I'm actually, I enjoyed it a couple of days ago when I did run in it, even though the upper did tear on me. All right, today I am running in the Solomon Ultra, S-Lab Ultra, and I almost called it the Ultra Pro. The Solomon S-Lab Ultra, this is just a nice, not too aggressive trail shoe. You see the lugs there on the bottom. They're just not, they're not crazy deep, but they get the job done. It is a little muddy out here today. So you're gonna meet Steve and Maddie. All right, some fellow runners here in Colorado. All right, come on, come on. 64 degrees, 64 degrees. Oh my goodness, oh well. I should be wearing shorts right now. It's like Denver, Denver, Denver. What are we gonna do with you? Here we go. I'm stroving it right now. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Have you given up your smartphone? Things are quick. I don't watch yet, except for this 1999 Women's Time X. Nice. Hey, that's the way to go sometimes. Well, that's technology's better. Sweet. All right, you know the drill. What's everyone running in? Steve? This is a Nike Structure 22s. Nike's, oh, you're like Joseph. He loves the structure. Oh yeah. Maddie? All right, Rook's Pure Grip 5. Okay. Whatever was cheapest on running warehouses a year and a half ago. Love it. Still working through. All about pinching pennies. Okay. And I've got the Solomon S-Lab Old Trails High Pop. And I love them. They're a good trail shoe when it's not too aggressive out. So I am not in the on-shoes day, not today. The Europeans are really, they're not too happy with me right now because the live stream is starting too late. Yeah. And they still stay like, available. Yeah. It's available. Ginger runner must have that issue. Yeah. Roll with it. We'll figure it out. Time warp somehow. Just have to borrow this. Take this with me. Here we go. High fives. Boom. I love the glasses, by the way. Yeah. Steve? Oh there Roka. Nice. I, good ol' gooders. They're okay. Cheap. All right guys. Go green. Go green. Go home. All right. Peace. Everyone deserves a second chance. Alrighty, here we are. Standing in the on clouds right now I have them on my feet and they feel great. They feel great. And no tears this time around putting them on my feet inside. So that's a bonus. Ian, who knows? Maybe it was a defective pair. A couple of you mentioned that in the comments a couple of days ago that the last pair could have been just a bad, a bad batch, you know? And who knows? Who knows in the grand scheme of mass production. But I also heard a story today at the Boulder running company that I won't mention the shoe company. But basically, as he was walking from his car to the trailhead, by the time he got to the trailhead his toes were sticking out of the side of the shoe because of basically bad glue on the shoes. So yeah, bad, you know, there can be bad pairs of shoes out there. Something to be aware of. And my shoe of choice for today was the Solomon Ultra. This shoe, and this is not gonna be my full review. Just a few brief thoughts. I would wear this shoe in a half marathon to 50K trail race. I don't know if I would take it much beyond 50K. Like it has some okay cushion but not amazing. So some ladies and gentlemen that are professional ultra runners will wear this shoe for at the 100 mile distance. Eh, I don't know. I don't know if it has quite enough support and cushion for the 100 mile distance. But it performed well today in the mud and the trail was pretty buffed out today. So not a lot of rocks. And I would not wear this shoe on really technical trails. It's more for that buffed out trail feel and it has some okay lug action on the bottom. Not incredible. But I, you know, I wasn't slipping around at all today but if you're dealing with really muddy conditions this is not the shoe for those conditions. So anyway, just a few thoughts on the Solomon Ultra shoe. I love it. It's a great shoe. But not, I don't know if it's the best Solomon shoe out there. I'll just put it that way. And a quick update on the live streams. Thank you for chiming into yesterday's question of the day part one about what night of the week would be best for you for tuning in live to watch the live streams moving forward. And a lot of great thoughts and ideas are streaming in. It's kind of split 50-50 right now between Monday and Wednesday. And those two nights of the week work best for me. The weekends are tough just so you know and I know some of you have school, you know during the week and obviously you have work during the week but I also need a little bit of a weekend. And so like Friday and Saturday nights are not so good because people are usually out, you know maybe getting dinner or I don't know just doing stuff out and about especially in the summertime. So I don't think Friday, I don't think the weekends are gonna work well only because I also need like a little break on the weekends. Therefore Monday and Wednesday are definitely the top two answers right now. And I just thought of this Monday night football that could be something that interferes throughout the football which is for everybody that's outside the United States. It's a pretty big deal. People tune in and watch Monday night football. Also some of you commented about the ginger runner who does his live streaming on Monday nights and that could create some conflict, time conflicts if we did Monday night. Therefore I have decided after talking with your love Wednesday nights. It's going to be Wednesday nights moving forward at 7 p.m. mountain time. So instead of 6 p.m. mountain time we're gonna do 7 p.m. Again a lot of you voiced your opinion that 7 p.m. would work a little better which makes sense because 6 p.m. is dinner time for everybody here in Colorado. Now 7 p.m. means 9 p.m. on the East Coast so I know that's a little later but then it's 6 p.m. on the West Coast. Anyway, there's never gonna be a perfect time for example I apologize to everyone in Europe. Like listen, what are you gonna do? I can't by locate yet. I'm working on that, I'm working on that. So maybe at some point I will do different times for people in Europe, for people in Asia, for people literally around the world. You know maybe once every three months will change up the time but for now it's going to be Wednesday's 7 p.m. mountain time starting next week and as far as the format. Here we go, are you ready? So I love your tips and ideas that are streaming in, keep them coming. Basically I like the hour format sticking to an hour. I wanna respect everybody's time and so if I'm just getting you know of course and I don't have a producer just so you know like true love you know is negotiating with the children inside as I'm out here in the shed doing the live stream so she can only help so much and therefore I'm thinking the format initially will be, well we're gonna, okay let me, we're gonna do three sections over a 60 minute period. So 20 minute sections and the first section will be a specific topic. The second 20 minutes will be another topic and the last 20 minutes will be open Q&A. Well you, where you can just go crazy and bombard me with any question about life, about running but initially, so for example, we would do the first 20 minutes on injuries. The second 20 minutes on how to train for a 5K and the last 20 minutes will be open Q&A. Sound good? So it'll focus our discussion a little better over the course of the hour that we are together and over time we'll just get, we're gonna get better as we go through this because we're all learning and I believe we are going to fix the technical difficulty. Basically, yes, true love and I, we're gonna up the speed of our internet like tomorrow. Hopefully we're working on it right now. We're, I believe it came down to an internet issue. Our internet just wasn't fast enough to do the live stream. Somehow it worked in the end but we're gonna up the internet speed so hopefully no more technical difficulties moving forward. Sound good? Sound good? Oh, I'm excited and I appreciate the voting Monday, Wednesday. I think Wednesday is gonna work better because Mondays, again, Monday Night Football, Ginger Runner and then also, I'm just gonna be coming off of the weekend and so if it's Wednesday, I'm gonna have a little bit more time to prepare. I love you all. Thank you for chiming into that question of the day. Okay, keyword, friends. Out on the trails today, absolutely amazing. That's the keyword, friends. And the question of the day. Oh, I love this one. Oh, I love this one. This is gonna be really, really important as we move into the 2019 year and as we move into 2019 running shoes. All right, here we go. What two shoes would you like me to compare against each other in 2019? And it could be within the same brand. It could be a new balance versus Nike. It could be a Solomon versus La Sportiva. It could be two trail shoes, two road shoes, two racing shoes. So what shoes would you like me to compare against each other? All right, an example that I, well, no, I don't wanna skew your answers. All right, so think outside the box. Think about it like, what shoes would you like me to compare in 2019? Sound good? Hit it up down below. I'd appreciate it. Thank you for being here. Thanks for being you on YouTube. This, we did it guys. What a day. What a day. Seek beauty, work hard. This is a lot of job. See you tomorrow. Mm-mm-mm. Mm-mm.
