All right. Happy New Year Here we are. Oh by the way big news today. All right, I'll share that with you in a minute But all right, here we go. Come on and there we go Just pulled the HDMI cable out of the camera and that took about two hours to figure out this live stream business That was crazy. That was crazy. I live streamed like eight years ago for another project I don't I'm not saying it's gotten any easier ladies and gentlemen. I had to pull a bunch of ninja moves Insanity, but I think it's gonna work tonight. Well for you yesterday, but you know what I mean Here we go first run of 2019 and my first run back after a two-week break Oh feels so good to get the shoes back on and Lace them up and get out there in the fresh air and it's cold out today Which is good because I'm trying some new gear today and on that note in 2019 One of my goals is to maybe not every single run, but many of the runs Communicate to you all of the gear I'm wearing everything from the socks to the hat to the outer wear to the shoes Of course, so stay tuned for that after my three mile loop easy loop from my house You know the drill drill on that and let's do this guys Here we go first run back and actually I'll just call it first run Preparing for my first marathon in 2019 First steps of 2019. Oh the first run of 2019. I'm back. I'm back All right, three miles 5k for everyone outside the United States I'm gonna do better in 2019 giving you kilometers and miles just nine minute and about 10 second pace 910 So nice and easy nice and slow for the first run back getting the legs going and yes I purchased a thermometer about three weeks ago Basically, I want to be as accurate as possible when talking to you about gear as far as what are the temperatures out? And it's saying it's 29 degrees out. So in the sun in the shade, it's a lot colder It's probably like 19 degrees out, but saying 29 degrees and 31 percent humidity So anyway, just so you know starting top to bottom and starting top to bottom got my gooder sunglasses I must say my eyeballs were getting pretty chilly today in the gooder I miss my Smith sunglasses. So anyway, gooder sunglasses. I had my buff on. Uh-huh. This is a this is a buff BUFF My Solomon hold on my Solomon hat. Love my green Solomon hat This is the XA right the XA hat Solomon XA hat. Love it. Oh very comfortable. You know, I love this hat All right wearing a Solomon jacket and it's cold today It's the coldest it's been since last winter in Denver, but it's not that cold So I'm still putting this jacket through the paces want to take it more like in the 15 to 20 degree range I want to take it out in those types of temperature temperatures. So it's a Fahrenheit by the way. Stay tuned for that Okay, novel gloves first time wearing these no FEL novel or I don't I hope I'm saying that right I don't know no FEL they well, I'll just say my fingers are kind of cold right now So we'll see this is my first time wearing these gloves Sun 2 and bit peak 3 watch I'm wearing Nike thin tights today for on my legs and then I'm wearing darn tough socks those orange darn tough socks They feel good and then of course the on-cloud running shoes And this is my first time wearing the on-cloud shoes out and I've got a lot of thoughts on these my first impressions coming right up So that's what I was wearing today. I know that was just a brief overview But overall feeling pretty good a couple areas of the body that are a little chilly So all right, here we go. Whoo continuing with a day nice little three miles and look what the boys are doing doing the chores Well, you might have hit a crack Test one two three test one two three here. We go ladies and gentlemen just getting the test down getting the audio going the lights Going whoo, it's a lot. I'm in the shed That was fun by the way to play in the snow with the kids for a minute. Oh my goodness. We're here It's 5 34 p.m. Going live and in case you did not see the live stream It should be available on this channel somewhere. I don't know exactly where but because this is my first time doing a live stream But I'm believe it's gonna be available Somewhere on the channel should be just basically under the video library. So anyway, here we go test test test one two three Well, that does it just hit stop it live stream. That was crazy. That was a little crazy I had some technical difficulties for some reason. I think it was it came down to the Wi-Fi It's it looks like I'm gonna have to get faster internet here at the house in order to do more effective live streams But we did it after about 15 minutes of you know negotiating the technical difficulties, but we did it Thank you for watching if you were able to tune in live. That was fun. I answered. I don't know 35 40 50 questions. I'm not sure how many questions I answered but it was a fun New thing for this YouTube channel first live stream ever is in the books and we're only gonna get better We can only go up from here. I knew You know, I pretty much knew there would be some sort of issue and I think it was probably the internet this time But ah so fun and I'm gonna say upper right hand corner. You can go watch it now upper right hand corner Be patient with the audio at the beginning especially there's a little bit of an echo And then it gets better about two or three minutes later So amazing. Oh, I'm excited. All right onward on My first impression of the on cloud running shoe This is my first time ever in an on shoe. So this is exciting Like it's always fun to try a new brand a new company and this is not my full review Just so you know, I like to do full reviews after about 50 miles First things first a major issue happened today major major issue So I'll talk to you I'll tell you that about that in a minute But first of all, let's start with some specs. It's a six millimeter drop. So not too high But also obviously not a zero drop. So kind of middle of the road for the drop from heel to toe Pretty standard width. I felt like through, you know, didn't feel too wide nor to you know Definitely didn't have a like a Solomon feel pretty normal width, especially through the midfoot and The weight the weight Seven ounces and oh my goodness. What is that in grams? Can anyone in Europe help me out because I need to do better? I'm gonna do better in 2019 giving you the ounces and the grams But I don't know what that is in grams right now seven ounces very lightweight and of course It's because of this very unique Midsole which basically it has holes through the midsole and the reason I bought this shoe at the Boulder running company You saw me there buying them a couple weeks ago It felt like in the store when I was jogging around that the shoe was pushing me straight Forward straight it was so unique and I don't know if it's because of this Basically this this gully through the bottom of the the outsole. It's this unique line here through the outsole And anyway in the store, it felt like the shoe was pushing me straight forward and today I could feel it not as much though I think in part because I was running on snow. That's just the reality of Denver right now It was snowing yesterday, so I was running on snow So I didn't feel that Straightforward push as much today, but it was it was there. I mean there was hints of it So I'm excited actually to run in the shoe. Maybe even tomorrow We'll see on pavement or concrete once the snow melts as far as comfort goes through the upper Really comfortable when I slipped it on my foot today. It felt so good It felt like a slipper and it's a very basic upper. There's no bells and whistles on this upper It just it's very simple I don't know how else to describe the upper other than simplistic But it was really comfortable on on the top of my foot and I don't know if it's the material they're using I'm not sure yet One little concern is my toes were getting a little chilly in this shoe. It's winter today it was in the mid-20s when I was running and It's a very breathable upper very breathable So if you're running in this shoe in below 20 degree temperatures You're going to want very thick socks because it's a very breathable upper So keep that in mind, but if you live in a warm climate, you know We have a lot of viewers in Brazil Singapore Thailand the Philippines Australia It's summer down there right now like oh, this would be amazing in the summertime I'm actually kind of excited about this shoe potentially for the summer But keep that in mind very breathable through the upper very lightweight and therefore My toes were getting a little cold today. Kind of unique is what I'm noticing is the collar is kind of long It's elongated a little bit. It's different than I don't know like Nike or Who else I guess maybe new balance, but it just seems like the collar which wraps around your ankle is a little longer And so I'm not quite sure what that's about. I'm you know again just this is just my first impression So anyway, but I'll get very comfortable collar But it's a little longer through the collar from heel to to the to the tongue and my last first impression And again, we'll get to the full review very soon The ride was awesome. It felt great like the shoe felt really good Keeping in mind. I was running probably 80% of the run today 90% on snow So I'm factoring that in which you know that impacts your Stability and even the cushion of the shoe because you're running on soft snow So I again I want to take it out on pavement, but the ride felt great no complaints about the ride and Yeah, okay, I'm gonna stop there because I know I just need to take it out on pavement All right major issue major issue Swiss engineering did not pull through and if you live in Switzerland and you know someone who works for on Let me know and send this video to them. I Was lacing up the shoes today on my living room floor. You saw me and maybe you could even hear it I'm not sure because I haven't I have not reviewed the footage yet. I Tore the upper I tore the upper This is my first time ever lacing up this on cloud shoe And I tore the upper and I'm gonna try and film it for you right now with a macro lens I tore the upper the the upper tore when I was lacing and I wasn't like wrenching down too hard This is a major major major concern on I'm looking at it right now. It just tore so I love this shoe. It feels good Very lightweight Build quality is at a one out of ten right now. Maybe two out of ten. Oh my goodness not good not good not good I'll keep you posted. I mean, it's almost worth maybe even returning So we're gonna just we're just gonna set this aside for now. It's getting me a little riled up Get me a little riled up. All right on to the keyword and the question of the day We're actually not gonna talk about the shoe We'll get to that although if you have a comment about the upper tearing if that's ever happened to you in another shoe on your first run Let me know but the keyword rather today is live because yes We went live today on this channel even though a few technical difficulties and the question of the day for today Were you able to tune in if you did?
