I love running longer distances more than 25 miles I did I did a lot of running this year anyway winter is coming and where I live in Colorado You cannot run up in the mountains in the winter because there's too much snow I'm gonna although I might I might try a little bit more this year So I got to get ready for running and training this winter in Denver where I live in the streets And so that means changing up my shoe game plan I have been wearing Solomon and hoca mostly this Summer this past summer, but now with winter coming. I got to rethink things I I'm leaning toward Nike and ASICs Nike and ASICs as kind of my go-to shoes for the urban Road-running experience. So that's why I'm getting these shoes today from the Nike store Just waiting for them to wait to open up Yeah, let's go In college I ran at the University of Colorado and so we were sponsored by Nike and Basically, I love the Nike structures in college and I ran in those shoes for five years And since then I've transitioned to hoca and Solomon because of trail running and to help prevent Stress fractures. I wanted a little more cushion because I suffered from stress fractures a lot in college So basically I am excited to try Nike again And basically, yeah, I mean, I'm just excited. I haven't worn Nike in nine years. It's getting crazy It's getting crazy and I'm gonna talk to you guys here in one second about this Backdrop on this wall.

I ran at the University of Colorado in college So I battled the Oregon ducks in cross-country and track like they were not our friends We they were our enemies the Oregon ducks However after college not during college, but after college I did come across this book and it's linked down below One of the better running books. I've ever read for sure It basically tells a story of Bill Bowerman who is the basically the co-founder of Nike back in the 70s And it talks of course a lot about the Oregon ducks Steve pre-fontaine And using his wife's waffle iron to design his first see the resemblance see the resemblance to design his first shoe So I would highly recommend it.
