 What do we have here and we're back in the studio good morning everybody if you're watching this when it publishes I hope you're doing well a couple boxes arrived today this one at the PO box and then another one came to my house From Fed at FedEx. I actually don't know exactly what's in either box So we are gonna open those up here in a minute and yes today is doctor day I'm going to the doctor here in exactly 50 minutes and just gonna The goal is to get out of the boot So I don't know what he's gonna have me do to make sure that the foot is not it's feeling good But I haven't tested the foot in at least seven days where I put some weight on it And I've been in the boot as you know walking around even Testing out new this is from yesterday's vlog the ultra temp even buying and testing out new running shoes with the boot So the goal is to get out of the boot today. We're getting closer. This is I can't even believe it Man, it's been six weeks since I had to stop Running six weeks. Oh crazy. You know what it's like if you've been injured. So anyway, that's going down Of course, I'll bring you along for the journey and let's dive in. Let's see which box should we open up first? Let's do this top one here from it's saying Kreeg climbing spelled K K R I E G So I I'm not a climber like a you know rock climber, but let's open this up Let's see what's inside in Idaho shout out to Idaho All right, here. We are what's going on here is this whoa whoa whoa? I don't even know what this is wait a second buffs. It's like a bunch. It's a bunch of buffs We got we got a lot Yes, and like, you know chalk bags for climbing Okay, I don't know exactly what's going on. Does anybody need a buff? Oh my gosh Holy all right. Well, let's let's open it up. See what's going on here. Okay. Here's one. Let's do this. Oh Yeah Yes Siracha siracha hot sauce siracha. Oh This is awesome, I love buffs I don't know if you guys wear buffs, but I wear buffs even in the summertime to keep the sun off of my neck This is amazing and I don't know what's going on here And then this is a climbing chalk bag Any climbers out there because I don't climb I used to climb in high school Do you know that and a little bit in college my roommate dragged me up some rocks? I was I just don't know. It's like heights like I'm married now. I've got kids I can't be going rock climbing too much. Oh my goodness. All right. Well, thank you to Cree climb Com anyway, I don't need all these buffs. I have like four or five buffs already So if you need a buff, hmm, I'll think of a way to give stay tuned to the end of the video I got to think about how to send these out to folks because I definitely I got to open up I'm gonna open up one more. I don't I definitely don't need all these bucks box number two here It is big box pretty big box. Let's open. So let's just see Okay, oh Yeah, here we go. Oh man. It's a blue box. Can you make a guess before I show you? It's a blue running shoe box Mizzou know in the house. Oh Mizzou know. Okay, what are they gonna be? I don't even remember what uh, let's see Let's see here. Oh, yeah. Oh Yeah, oh my god, we're replacing the temps with Mizzou know. Okay, so here's the deal I don't know the story behind this shoe. I Don't know the story basically from what I understand. This is the wave sky I believe that's the name the wave sky from Mizzou know I believe Mizzou know is exploring A new midsole technology. Don't quote me on that. I'll do some more research. This guy looks real nice and Oh, wow really interesting. All right. Something really fascinating going on in the outsole here So I will show that to you later. All right, that is it. I'm off to the doctor. Stay tuned. Thank you for all this The buffs I love it. All right. I'm not signing off now. Come on. Let's go. All right. All right. All right All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Here we go ladies and gentlemen look at this What is that? There is the boot the podiatrist today gave me the thumbs up to start walking again That's right in a shoe. So here's the update from the appointment. Um, I've been off the foot for six weeks I haven't been running for six weeks three weeks on the crutches three weeks in the boot and We're okay Basically, I explained to him like how the foot's been feeling what it's been feeling like over the past ten days What I've been doing to just try and stay off the foot as much as possible the cross training everything and we came to the conclusion That it's time to test the foot meaning start walking full-time in the shoe So he what he wants me to do is starting at 3 30 p.m. Today when I walked out of his office He wants me to walk pain-free for 24 hours if I can't if I can't accomplish that Then he wants me to get back in the boot But if I can walk pain-free for 24 hours, then I can keep proceeding forward Torred jogging sooner rather than later. So but that is the status update. I it's amazing It's just like oh I can see the light, right? I could see the light at the end of the tunnel So it's coming and that is a basic synopsis of what we went over like he poked he prodded He we did walking across the floor We did all sorts of things to make sure that there was no additional pain popping up anywhere And I we couldn't find any pain in his office today. So this is good news Thank you for the support I the reason I pause there because we're not out of the woods yet Thank you for your support, but like we're not out of the woods yet again 24 hours walking in the shoe Making sure that there's no pain over the next 24 hours and by the way somebody noticed yesterday that yes I am a little sick or dealing with allergies. I'm not quite sure which one, but we're gonna make it through So that is exciting and what oh, yeah keyword walk keyword walk. We're walking. See ya We're gonna stick this guy up there and yes So anyway, if you have any other thoughts or questions about the foot feel free to ask it down in the comments to this Mizuno real quick I'm not gonna break it down too much because I haven't jogged in it yet, but maybe sooner rather than later instead I'll just give you a few specs real quick few like first impressions coming out of the box It's the Mizuno sky wave knit 3 is the name I saw it on a couple websites, but I also it's not like widespread availability yet So this is definitely a brand new shoe I think I saw June 12th that this shoe is gonna be don't quote me on that But I thought I saw that online that it's gonna be available all over the place So let's see Mizuno sky wave knit 3 10 millimeter drop So pretty high on the scale of drop or offset a lot of Nike shoes are 10 millimeter as many of you know Let's see 10. Oh, yeah, it's a heavier shoe So it's being advertised at 10.9 ounces at least what I'm seeing I actually haven't weighed it yet in my Sizing but for a road daily trainer. That is a heavier shoe. However, you know, my thesis on heavy shoes I like heavier shoes for daily trainers. Why I think it helps build up a little bit of leg strength So like tempo days On long runs, I need to be wearing heavier shoes like the Vamara 14 or who knows maybe even possibly this Why I need to tone it down a little bit on my long runs I I was going a little too fast on my long runs in the last training block, which I think led to this injury Just a wee bit. So anyway, I'm not afraid of a heavier shoe just so long as you own One pair of shoes for racing that are really really lightweight because when you go from this to a racing flat You're gonna fly you're just gonna fly or a cross-country spike or a track spike or whatever it might be So there's the wait for you. Let's see. What else? It's it's okay. Mizuno Mizuno Mizuno is building Constructing engineering high high quality build build quality through Mizuno shoes That's what I've noticed so far in the Mizuno's that I have tried ladies and gentlemen the opposite I will say of Skechers and Skechers like I'm I like I like the Skechers razor 3 personally And I I still need to put miles into the go run 7 hyper But I'm telling you just holding the shoe feeling it. It's it's the opposite end of the spectrum for The build quality compared to Skechers like the upper of the Skechers But in the process of buying running shoes, you have to ask yourself, okay Can the build quality match the amount of miles that you can get out of a shoe like this one So just holding it in my hands. I am predicting 4 to 500 quite easily part of it is because of this outsole is I can tell the rubber is really I could just I can Just tell it's gonna last you a long long time But because the even though the outsole is great and the upper build quality. I'm telling you like once you hold this thing It's like the heel counter and everything really high quality But will the midsole cushion Be able to match the rest of the shoe build quality so it's like that it's like a walk in that line in Constructing a running shoe and all right goodness. All right. That's it for now for the Mizuno. We could talk all night Oh, yeah, one last thing I did I was correct. This is a new midsole foam It's the X-pop hold on X-pop pu foam midsole So again, it feels a little firm But I'm wondering if it's gonna lead to some pretty good energy return through that X-pop pu Midsole so foam it's all so anyway very excited about that and one last thing hold on All right, here's the deal ladies and gentlemen the early bird gets the worm this vlog Publishes every morning at 5 a.m. Mountain time. That's 4 a.m. on the west coast 7 a.m. 7 a.m. On the east coast about noon in over in Europe and about 5 p.m.. Over in Asia So here's the deal if you're watching this early in the morning, you're in luck Basically, I'm gonna give away three of these buffs and these are kind of I haven't looked up this specific company But some buffs are not I've seen them as high as $30 so they don't give them away And so I want to give three away But here's what you got to do the first three people to tag me and Put a link to the YouTube channel one on Instagram one on Twitter one on Facebook go So whoever does it first gets I will mail you this I will mail you one of these buffs again I'm guessing I haven't looked up this company, but I'm guessing it's a 20 to 30 dollar value from Kree Climbing so anyway, that's how it's gonna go down You got to tag me put a photo up and a link to the YouTube channel That's how we're gonna do it all right and last but not least the question of the day This is really important. Here we go. I've published four videos in the past two weeks Centered around races so the Boulder Boulder and then the dirty 3050 K I did a vlog for the Boulder Boulder and then a cinematic edit So about five to six six minutes where it's basically a highlight reel with no talking and then the dirty 30 I did the same thing a vlog and then a more cinematic approach So here we go What do you prefer and maybe you haven't had a chance to watch both that's fine But if you did especially like what a what approach Do you enjoy more when it comes to watching? Racing vlogs where I'm not necessarily racing, but I'm out there filming for all of you All right, so the cinematic approach the vlog approach There's other ways to film as well, but that is the question of the day I know that's kind of a lot to process But it would it's gonna help me a lot this summer because I'm gonna I'm gonna rock and roll man I'm gonna I'm gonna film a lot of races for all of you some big ones some small ones and Who knows maybe get over to London to film kipchogi. I don't know. That's one of the goals So let me know down in the comments. I'd appreciate it walk is the keyword. Thank you, Mizuno So excited about these and again here we go top three top three Who's gonna be first Twitter Instagram and Facebook see beauty work hard
