 Basically, they don't know yet. Oh! They don't know yet. We are announcing the marathon and did a good little run. I'll get you the stats here in a second. Back in the studio and join a little leftover lunch from date night last night. And let's see, we're going to dive into some projects and yes, I am going to announce the spring 2020 marathon today. My final decision, it's made today's run four miles, 815 a mile, even though it was a very simple run, a baby run. I know the, you know, no drone shots, no mountain shots yet. It's coming soon. But I'm trying to reintroduce the filming and the running into the daily blog. And I can't film every single run that I go on. But again, that is one of my goals, is to keep you informed on topics in the running world with marathon training, especially right now, and entertain because our time is precious. I'm going to run here to a package real quick before we start some projects. And this is from, hold on, Chris, oh, shout out to Chris. Thank you, Chris. This is definitely not a shoe box. Hold on, let me get the knife. Well, well taped. Hold on. Oh, there's a note. I will read this later. Thank you, Chris. Chris is from Canada. Oh, thank you, Chris for sending this. I'll read it later, Chris. I won't read it for everyone. Okay. We got through one layer out here. Hold on. What could this be? Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. That is amazing. Wow. Okay. That is cool. So I don't own one of these. In fact, I will pull down. Hold on. Let me get it. Okay. So hanging just above me in the studio are my saws and some vice grips and yes, my running medals. Now these are not all of them. These are mostly from the past maybe two years. And so Chris from Canada sent me a metal hanger that says, yes, seek beauty, work hard and love each other. Can you see that? So I don't know if it's, I think, I think I peel off. I don't know exactly. I got to read what he wrote in the letter, but it looks like I can peel off the brown and maybe stick it on the wall or somehow attach it to the wall so I can basically hang my medals on here. Shout out to Chris. Thank you so much. This is definitely going up in the studio. Thank you. Thank you. Look at that. I just lost a metal off of my hanger. So I need this. That is amazing. Chris. Oh, that is like some craftsmanship right there crafts. I don't know how you did that, but that is so, so cool. Okay. We're diving into some projects here in the studio. I'm going to try and finish off the restoration of the studio today. Let's go. Move the power strips. Test one, two, three. Test one, two, three. Test test. We're going to stop there. Oh, it's hard. I don't know. I just, I got to let it sit for a day or two to see if I like this configuration. I don't think I like this shelf directly behind me as I'm standing in here. So I think this is going to end up moving. But I kind of like how these are offset and how the shoes are kind of at different levels. So I'm liking this, but I'm not going to screw them into the wall yet. I'm just going to let it sit. Like I said, for a couple of days, all right, let's go inside, talk to true love about this marathon and about pinching pennies as well. All right. Here we go. All right. True love. It's time to announce. You come sit. You come sit right there. We're, we're announcing. Let me just make sure we're good to go here. Uh huh. So yeah, you just go right on close there. Basically they don't know yet. Oh. They don't know yet. We are announcing the marathon and a lot of different factors went into this decision. The most important is timeline for training. Remember Cleveland, the training block was a little too long. So I'm, remember that? Yeah. And I ended up with the injury. So therefore I've decided to cut back the training block by two weeks and also, okay, one last thing is I did not get in, I did not hear back from Boston. You know, it was a long shot. It was worth trying. I did not hear. So I, I will not be going to film the Boston marathon. I'm sorry. It just doesn't, it won't work out in the schedule and 2021, I'll be running 2021. And then London, um, I had an opportunity to get into London if I, but actually, well, I thought I did, but I think I might have to be actually a British citizen to do it through a chair. Who do we know? Yeah. Who do we know in the UK government? My dad has Irish citizens, Ireland citizens. Oh, there we go. Okay. We've got options. Well, but they're kind of a, yeah. No, okay. So bottom line, it is going to be drum roll 2020 spring marathon, Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. We're coming for you. So not Prague. I apologize, but probably, who knows, maybe, um, I don't know when, maybe 2022. I'm glad it's not pro hot because we want to go. Yeah. She wants to go. I can't travel right now. So the reason it's Hamburg is because therefore I can race on, it's the 19th Sunday of leave, the 19th, and then I can rest and just chill out and go film the London marathon. So I'm going to go Denver to Hamburg. Yep. Uh, Denver. Well, yeah. Denver to Hamburg, Hamburg to London, London to Denver, um, is the game plan. I think it's brilliant because then when you're filming London, you won't hold back anything. You're not going to be thinking, oh, something's coming up. It'll be in the past. I think it's smart. When I film a race. He's all in. It's like, it's not only physically draining. It's mentally draining because I am on and I'm trying to get the shots, the angles. He sees things that people don't see. Filming the Kipchoge race, it was, it was a lot of work before Amsterdam. And so now I get to film the week before London and my race will be done and then I can just chill. We can go get some, uh, fish and chips and some, uh, a good pint over. Yeah. No, a pint. The race will be done. Okay. In London with all of you. So that's on a group run. Oh yeah. We'll do group run. We'll do a group run in Hamburg and in, uh, and in London. So I guess what are your recommendations for the fastest, a hotel with the fastest internet in and near the London Marathon? Yes. Is that smart? We need fast Wi-Fi. Yeah. Really fast Wi-Fi for the video production. Yeah. So there it is. Hamburg. Hamburg, Germany. I'll break down in the studio a little bit later some more details as to why that race as well. A little more into the course and everything. All right. I hear Michael. Okay. So why don't I go look at tickets? All right. Let's do this. Boom. And break. Break. Money. Oh, that was perfect. Perfect. Oh yeah. There we go. True love's excited. I'm excited. I hope you're excited. Hamburg, Germany. We're coming for you. And again, what it comes down to is having fresh legs for my race rather than fresh legs for, let's say, uh, filming in London. I'd rather race my marathon, get it in the rearview mirror, and then go enjoy London and enjoy watching the race of the century, Bacalli versus Kipchogi, which I just, uh, I had it in my gut that they were gonna meet in London for some reason. I think time is of the essence for both of them, especially Bacalli. And I was like, you know what? This is the year. So that's why I did not register for Prague. I was just waiting to see, well, what will they do? And sure enough, they're gonna meet in London, which means I'm gonna go to Hamburg. And again, that's just a slightly, it's a two week shortened training block, which for me is perfect because I respond my body after training for, you know, decades now, I know how long it takes for my body to get in shape. And it's just that 13 to 14 week window right now that's just spot on for me. Actually, here we go. Here's the graph with the volume that we talked about a couple of days ago. So now this is it. This is it for, for Hamburg. This is what I'll be using for my ascent to my peak volume of training. And I should mention the Hamburg Marathon. It's a gold label, a World Athletics Race. All right, so gold label, the highest you can go. It starts, well, I already looked, it starts at 9 30 a.m. April 19th, Sunday, April 19th, based on the reviews from everyone that I think it's Marathon, MarathonGuide.com or MarathonGuide.net. All the reviews that people have written about this marathon, they say it's incredibly beautiful, picturesque, great crowd support. Not as big, obviously, as, let's say, in New York or Chicago or London, but pretty solid crowd support because you really, you pretty much stay kind of right in the main area of the city. It's a, well, actually, I'll try and find a map and I'll put it on the screen right now. And so there you go. It just kind of weaves around the city kind of up and down the river. I actually don't, I feel a little bad. Is it the Rhine River? I don't even know what river it is that goes through Hamburg. And so there you go. And also I researched and it's, I think this is kind of neat mentally. They put a blue line right on the road, like a blue line. So you, as a runner, for me, like there were maybe, I think there was one moment in Amsterdam where I was like, wait a minute, which direction do I go? And so in Hamburg, it's just, just follow the blue line. Like no matter what, follow that blue line the entire way. So they paint a blue line all 26.2 miles through the streets of Hamburg. Two more points. It is the largest spring marathon in Germany. And then also, oh, yeah, this is amazing. And this is why I'm just so excited. I can already tell I'm a big, big fan of solid organization. I don't like to show up to events that you just like, wait a minute, who's in charge here? True love. And I will always sometimes we show up at like, I don't know, even like weddings, and we're like, who's in charge here? Like, where's the NC? Where's the directions? We just like to have direction in our life. And so I can tell Hamburg is organized because I emailed them through, you know, the contact form, you can click contact and you email like I did with Boston, never heard back, but you get a contact form and you submit your email, your subject line and then the content of the email and you send it and you never hear back. It feels like for me. Like I never hear back, but sure enough, I heard back from Hamburg asking, could I receive a basically not an elite, but a sub-elite entry into the race? And they said, yes, because I've run under 225, which happened in, well, in New York and also in Amsterdam. So it was amazing. I heard back from them within like 24 hours via email. And so I can tell their organize, I'm excited. And what else I was going to say. So then from Hamburg, I'll fly right to London probably Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. So I'll have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So five days in London will definitely obviously do a group run. Actually, this is a big deal. Okay. Question of the day. What do I need to know about the Hamburg marathon for those who have raced Hamburg? That's not option number one. Option number two, what should I bring this up now? Yes, what park run should I do in London on Saturday? Okay. Before I think park runs happen on Saturday. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've never done a park run. What park run should I do on Saturday in London before Sunday, the race on Sunday? Okay. So that's the question of the day. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. I think that's it. We're going to call it there. Thank you for being there. Thanks for watching. As always, I appreciate you, appreciate your support, appreciate your wisdom down in the comments for the question of the days, because I'm going to lean into your experience at both of these events, both in Hamburg and in London. All right. There you go. We're tossing it back on the right to the New York City marathon vlog. That'll be on the right. And then on the left will be the Amsterdam marathon vlog. That'll be on the left. Okay. Everyone seek beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
