Okay, the taping I did I taped back at the house And I need to do better at taping For my planter until it goes away Anyway, I learned a method for taping on YouTube and essentially it's it helps it helps It doesn't it's not gonna fix the plantar fasciitis But it basically helps relieve the plantar fasciitis until I can take a break Which I already mentioned is coming in December.

Good job. Taco. Oh All right today's run on Strava. I uploaded and I put the title as Virtually pain-free running and that's the truth after of it the first mile was a little sore a little tender But after that It was very difficult to find the pain now I don't know if that was just because of the tape job that I did on the foot before I started running I'm not sure anyway very fascinating and yes, the tacos were delicious Okay, we are jumping in to the comments of the week and we're gonna start off with one on Strava from Dave Griffiths Dave, thank you for the comment.

What type of running shoes are you interested in and that was the question I asked four days ago and therefore today I went through all of the comments and Wrote down on a spreadsheet right here. I got it all listed for you wrote down on a spreadsheet What is the next running shoe you would like me to purchase and review for all of you? And so here are the results I tallied them up Thank you for your patience and getting to this point of the video, but are you ready? I'll do the top shoes here in a second But there what here are some honorable mentions honorable mentions Solomon snow cross four points in of mud claws only one New Balance Vongo only one sketchers razor three three votes Hoka Clifton five three votes and then the Soccany Peregrine eight two votes So again, those are some honorable mentions. Hopefully we will get to those shoes at some point I'm very interested in the new balance Vongo. That's probably gonna be on my list soon But okay the top five shoes. Let's get to them. Are you ready? There's a three-way tie for third place three way tie for a third place each with 12 votes The ultra escalante one point five the Reebok float ride run fast and the sketchers go run Ride seven all three of them tied with 12 votes. That was amazing three of those three shoes tied for third place Second place and it was close guys The Soccany freedom ISO to the Soccany freedom ISO to Amazing 15 points. Thank you 15 votes and number one on the list for the next shoe for me to purchase and review for you The Nike Vamaro 14 now. I realize it is a shoe that is about to be released Everywhere. It's already live on a couple places So hopefully I can get it get my hands on a pair very soon but the Nike Vamaro 14 will be the next shoe that I purchase and Run in and review for all of you and yes, the keyword of the day is 14 the number 14 down in the comments Did I mention the Nike Vamaro 14 had 17 votes and the Soccany freedom ISO to had 15 votes? So we're talking very close I will go with a Vamaro 14 this time because that's what you guys voted for that one won But the freedom ISO is definitely on the radar. So don't don't be disheartened. There's a good chance. It will be Coming soon. We'll see we'll see in the question of the day now I realize I've asked similar questions to this one. I realize that But I don't think I've asked it quite in this direct way and it's it's fairly open-ended But in yes, it is connected to shoes because today's video is about shoes But essentially Nike won this round, but I want to know what has been your go-to running shoe brand through throughout your entire life for me, I Would probably have to go with Nike Mostly because at the University of Colorado we were sponsored by Nike So we got in free Nike shoes for five years that I was there But I wanted like a lot of you are talking about Brooks and the Brooks ghost and the Brooks Glycerins and a lot of you are talking about new balance a lot of you about Sock and he so what is the brand? Loyalty that you have the most with is another way to phrase that question of the day Thank you for letting me know why you love that brand and what like draws you to Adidas to Nike to Reebok to new balance to Sock and he to oh my gosh Skechers is like a new one that I have no familiarity with so let me know down in the comments I would appreciate it. We're signing off tomorrow a long run and Potentially the Merrill 14's. I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna try I'm gonna try for you guys. All right See beauty work hard and love each other.
