 Oh, oh man, oh Ladies and gentlemen, okay, that was insane All right, everybody. We made it to deer Creek Calling an audible and yes audible is gonna be the keyword for this blog Oh, man. Oh, man. Remember all the forethought I put into Planning out the trail running gear in yesterday's blog. Well, it didn't work out Basically, you can see the dark clouds rolling in I checked the weather before heading to the mountains and it's not good Basically, whenever weather rolls into Colorado before 11 a.m You know, it's gonna be a bad day up on the mountains and that is one thing that I do not mess with it's lightning I Just do not appreciate lightning. I don't I like to watch it I even like to listen to it a little bit from afar But up close it is not a good thing to mess with in the mountains So I called an audible. That's the key word and actually let's do it question of the day When was the last time you had to call and not a I don't want to say a major audible but you had to call an audible in your training whether it was with respect to a workout a How far you run or the location like I had to do today even here at deer Creek I got to be a little careful because the clouds are already rolling in and it's not even noon yet So yeah, but I will be below tree line. So that is good. All right Supercross from Solomon or the speed cross five. What should it be? What should it be? Supercross, that's all right We're going to with supercross and yes first impressions publishing at 5 p.m. Today of the newly released Solomon supercross. This is brand you can't even get it Where I'm seeing it right now is on REI and I think it's available from running warehouse I'll double-check that and I'll link it down below if it is but REI. I know is carrying it for sure. All right Quick quick addendum to yesterday's or two. Yeah, I think it was yesterday It could be two days ago the first impressions for the Hoka Rincon Thank you for all the pronunciation corrections I remember Ricardo Rincon the picture for the A's and the Indians back in the day So anyway, that's where the pronunciation was coming from. I realized Ricardo Rincon But it's actually pronounced Hoka Rincon as in like con man, I guess so thank you for everyone that caught that for me. All right We're almost ready to roll out Up dear Creek gonna go eight miles today because basically once again back to the audible I'm switching today's Workout what was supposed to be today's workout for tomorrow because I did check the weather and it's gonna be there saying Absolutely, no precipitation in the entire state of Colorado tomorrow, which will be Tuesday, I suppose. All right That's rock and roll All right, if you've been watching this blog a long time, you know, there's three things in this world I do not like and that snakes Rye bread and yes Lightning and sure enough there was a good you can hear the thunder now There was a good bolt of lightning up there six or seven people Including myself just bombed off the mountain to get away from it and so I don't know what's gonna happen I'm going back to the car right now And it's starting to rain real nice real nice. Oh, man Yes, I don't like rye bread. The lightning is striking very close now So I'm just I'm out of here. I am out of here. Okay. I don't know if I even mentioned audible when I say that It's a football term. So when a quarterback goes to the line of scrimmage And he has to change the play right at the line of scrimmage because of the defense That's called an audible. So I just called an audible today a couple times actually and this is life Right, you just got to be flexible and just don't be afraid to tell yourself It's good to see another day on this earth. You know what I mean So it's just not worth it, but I still did get 7.7 miles in so we will take it. I was shooting for eight came up a Quarter mile short, but that's alright And there's blue sky to the west, but what are you gonna do got it gotta move on? Sorry about that. I hit the mute button on my audio pack a minute ago So what I was saying out on the patio is that I'm I'm packing again for tomorrow's mountain run I was giving a shout out to a gentleman mark who sent me a pair of shoes that I'm about to show you And I went inside the house grab the shoes and I'm gonna use them for tomorrow's mountain run So that's what I was that's what I was sharing out there on the patio. All right today's run eight miles almost eight miles 13k 1800 feet of vertical gain So about five a little over 500 meters of vertical gain and loss and the foot is feeling Amazing and a couple days ago on Strava. I labeled a 10 mile run that I did this I titled it What did I say I said? Not out of the woods yet, but I can see the meadow and I firmly believe that all right the foot It's just I actually text my brother today. I said about four days ago There was a distinct shift in how the foot felt and who knows? Maybe it was exactly that eight or nine week mark since the injury happened and it was a it was very distinct And I was like, huh, this feels different. So that is a good good sign In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I just took my first step in To the meadow, okay, and this is exciting and yes tomorrow's run is gonna be another good test Despite having to call an audible today. And yes, it was a mini audible lightning That's miniature compared to a big audible where let's say you get an injury and you have to completely change your training Schedule or your training blocks for an entire calendar year, frankly So I'm actually gonna spend some time tonight Rebuilding my next training schedule Training block for the Pikes Peak ascent and later races into the fall. All right sound good. And yes, where are the shoes? Oh, no, actually, I actually put them outside. Hold on one second All right, I got them ladies and gentlemen, I got them. All right, so the shoes that I've Never worn before I've never worn this this brand before. Okay. You ready for this shout out to Salming from Sweden.
