 that time later in the week. Sound good? So live stream, post-race party, onward and upward. Somebody's working hard. Oh man, Beaver Town, the turkeys in Denver. That's pretty cool. I've never seen wild turkeys in Denver. Oh yeah, it's the wild, wild west out here. Here's the turnaround point for today. Five miles out, we'll flip it here. I do think I will preview the last six miles later in the week, because I'm learning so much out here. Just where the dips are and where the bridges are, I'm on a bridge right now. It's all, I feel real good about it, but it's so chilly out too, so let's go back. And we're back dealing with some. That's right, serious Corona hair today, but we're gonna get through this together everyone. All right, Ultra Tim twos. Putting them on the shelf over there. We'll get back to those in a second, but first of all, I don't know about you. I'm dreaming about hot summer days, cold beer, and some baseball. All right, on your screen, this is where the Colorado Rockies play and I'm just like, I don't know if we're gonna be able to go watch them this year or not, but I'm dreaming of it. Oh, especially after a cold, frigid 10 mile run today. Oh, I think it was in the teens on the run. So quite different than two days ago and it was 70 degrees, but the Ultra Tim twos did great 10 miles, 750 a mile approximately, and it was muddy out, so the Tim twos were perfect. On the side of the concrete there is where I was running mostly, and that is the course. I'll come back to the course here in a second, but first of all, we did it. This is it. Marathon training week 14, the full on taper home stretch to the races this weekend. And I just wanna say, congrats. If you have, you know, maybe your race, well, I shouldn't say maybe, your race was likely canceled this spring, whatever distance you were training for. And if you are gonna be doing the DGR, the DeMor global running virtual races, like, we did it. We persevered through a lot of adversity. Probably I'm gonna say if you're a new runner, this and you're, you've never gone through an entire training block. This is very strange, okay? To arrive at the end of a training block and not have a race to go participate in, meaning an in-person race, all right? So this is abnormal. This is not gonna be the normal moving forward. I have faith that we're gonna get through this in the fall and be able to get back to racing in person. That is my hope at least, but we made it through these 14 weeks. And yes, here is a clip from the first run back on the soccer fields, the first run of the training block over three months ago. Absolutely insane that it was over three months ago, but sure enough, after runner's knee, we made it through together to this point. And last week, okay, week 13 of the training block, volume was a little higher than I expected because of the 50 mile run. I wasn't sure how long I'd be able to run, but made it to 50, so usually I'd be closer to that 60 range, but I ended up being, I think, around 75 miles for the volume for last week. And now this week, before the actual race this weekend on the Platte River trail, I will be doing 30 to 35 miles, okay? That's before the race, all right? But then after the race, it'll bump me up to, you know, 50 to 55 miles for the volume for the week. And because of the 50 mile run, again, didn't know how long I was gonna go, I was planning to do my last workout last week. My legs were definitely not up for a workout after that effort, so therefore I'm going to do a really baby workout tomorrow, okay? So come back for that. I don't know where yet because I don't know if any tracks are open, but I was planning to do some 600 meter repeats on the track. We shall see what I end up doing for that. At the end of the day, this week, final week of the marathon training is stretching, foam rolling, getting the legs as happy as possible, especially after the 50 miles and arriving at the starting line, the virtual starting line with all of you as fit as possible, as fresh as possible, and as healthy as possible, okay? It's, I think we're gonna do it. I think, you know, this is it. Six days to go. Okay, let's get you some updates on the DGR virtual races. Here we go. Broke my heart. I did not even really think this through. This is my first time putting on any sort of race, let alone I've never even participated in a virtual race. So we're all in this together as first time, at least for me, as a first time participant. But I got an email. I think it was from a medical worker in Pittsburgh. Sorry, I don't remember your name, but the person emailed me and said, Seth, I'm a little sad because I work Sunday, April 19th. And like, I think they are a nurse. And so they do like a, I don't know if it's a 12 or 18 hour shift, but basically they won't be able to do the DGR virtual race on Sunday. Therefore they asked, could we do it on Saturday? And I had, it hadn't even crossed my mind, but yes. All right, so we opened up the window, okay, to April 18th, Saturday, April 18th, and Sunday, April 19th. It just broke my heart. There's no way, like of course you can do it on Saturday, April 18th, okay? So I just want to put that out there, but you do need to still email the results to demorevirtualresultsatgmail.com. Demorevirtualresultsatgmail.com by Sunday night, okay? So there you go. That's how you're going to get your name into the final results, depending on the distance that you ran. And again, all the information is listed on this website. It's also gonna be linked down below as far as the directions on what you need to email to that, the information you need to send to that email, okay, but also here's a crazy thing. I'm gonna try to send out an email to everyone that's registered. I'll get you the numbers here in a second for how many people have registered. You might be a little surprised because somebody decided to take it upon themselves to put in some work to make bib numbers, all right? So look at these bib numbers. This is just amazing, some creative work out there. And so here's, I'm gonna try to email this document. It's a PDF out to everyone. And if you wanna print this bib number off, here's the deal though, I will print it off if I can find a place to print it that's open. But I don't know if I'll actually wear it because of the paper. I think it would just get sweaty and rip. But who knows, maybe there's a type of paper. And here's, okay. I think this is gonna be an annual event next year. We will have official bib numbers. Remember, this was a very last minute decision based on the coronavirus and all the races being canceled. So printing bib numbers, doing medals, we're just not doing that this year. But we will in the future, okay? At the very least we have t-shirts, okay? Those are available down below. Actually, I'll just give a shout out. Lots of colors available. Pink, blue, gray, black, white, hoodies, stickers, all sorts of things available down below. If you want a t-shirt from the inaugural event, I'm definitely gonna save this t-shirt for the rest of my life. I don't know about you. I love collecting old racing t-shirts and just like putting them in a box and then pulling them out years and years later. I love doing that. So the t-shirts are down below and the bib numbers, I will try to email out to everyone this. I will do my best to email out to everyone probably Wednesday or Thursday and then you can print it, maybe Friday, I don't know. And then you can print and pin it on your shirt if you want or I don't know. Again, depending on the paper you use, how it will stick. Okay, here are the numbers. Butter, my bread, 1,332 as of today, registered runners for the inaugural race. And let me get you the numbers for the actual marathon half 10K and five Ks. Oh, here we go, 123 runners for the marathon. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'll be racing. Half marathon, whoa, 463. 463, that's the largest amount for any of the distances. 10K, 406 and 5K, 340. So again, I think these numbers are gonna go up and up and up. And yes, the registration link is down below. Spread it around, let your running friends know. Okay, moving on to one more point. Oh my goodness. I think we're gonna do it, everybody. I think we're gonna do it. 2PM, okay, I'll confirm later in the week. I gotta talk to true love. 2PM Sunday, April 19th, 2PM my time. We're gonna have a party, a post race, live stream party. I'm gonna go drink my first beer in three months in the studio. We'll do a cheers here in the studio. We'll celebrate, we'll share stories of how your race went, your virtual race went, wherever you did it around the world. And I chose 2PM because I think that gives Africa and Europe still enough time to hang out before going to bed. And then Asia is gonna be, oh my gosh, 2PM. It's gonna be, okay, it's gonna be really early in the morning in Asia. I apologize, but I think that's gonna be the best situation. So 2PM on Sunday, 2PM mountain time. Again, I will confirm that time later in the week. Sound good? Live stream, post race party, onward and upward. Question of the day, have you registered? Or do you know a runner who maybe has never heard of this YouTube channel that might be interested in registering for a 5K, 10K, half full? I actually, there's actually a couple of people in Denver that I'm gonna email today. Ryan, I'm coming for you and also Frank, I'm coming for you as well. So I'm gonna email this out to them to invite them to the DGR virtual races. All right, sound good everyone? There you go. Onward and upward, that is the vlog for today. We're gonna toss it back to, oh man. You know, we'll toss it back to last week's 50 mile live stream in case you wanna go back and reminisce from the live stream from last week again. Thanks for all the support for that. Onward and upward, all right. See beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
