Hello and welcome to a new episode of Nobody else with Des and Kara presented by

Brooks Running.

Des has her arms in the air pumping you up.

You got this. We got on the clock 45 minutes ago and we are just recording now. So I would ask you how you're doing, but I kind of know, but how are you doing? We should just go into that anyhow because I feel like the topics are slim this week. They are very slim. I know. But we're still probably going to be an hour. I think that this might be not an hour.

We really don't have a lot of running news to cover. Yeah, it's kind of wild. Leave it up to us. Yeah, it's this in-between space where it's like stuff's going to happen, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm doing well. I'm home. That's nice. Wait, are you going, you're home, but till when, are you going to Shanghai or something soon? Yes, the couple days before Thanksgiving. So I have a little while. Okay. No, that's like next week. No, I know. I don't know what day it is. But it's, yeah, no, I'm still trying to get a visa. and someone was like, oh no, there's this rule, there's this new rule, and like a few people have sent it.

So. But it's, yeah, no, I'm still trying to get a visa. And someone was like, oh, no, you're like, there's this rule. There's this new rule. And like a few people have sent it. So that's what I'm going to use. Thank you for reaching out folks and being like, here's how you can work around it. Which means I'll probably have to stop in either Tokyo or I think I'm going to go to Seoul, Korea on the way home. So you just have to make one stop. And I'm really like every day I'll send Ryan like something from Instagram about Seoul. I'm like, look how cool this is. Don't you want to go? And he's like, he hasn't bit yet. I'm like he's going to decide to go, I don't know, like a week before, which is now. And the tickets are going to be astronomical. I'm going to be like, it's fine. Just please save me. How long will you be gone? I think it's like four days. It's not that long. Maybe it's five. That's a hell of a trip. I mean, when you're on a plane that long, it's kind of worth it. Yeah. And I did start looking around on the Instagram's

shangha looks kind of cool. I'm excited. Okay. And then we're going to do a trail run on the

second to last day. So hopefully I can stay on my feet. But my knees feeling better. I took a good

chunk of time off. Yeah. Are you running again? A little bit. Yeah. I started, well, it was really cold here for a couple days and I was like, I'm just going to wait until I get to Scottsdale. So I did. And then it was really nice down there. It was like, it was like 8590. It was too hot. Yeah. But beautiful in the morning for running. So is your neat, all the swelling is gone?

I think so.

I mean, the swelling's gone.

I think there's like still some maybe like scar tissuey tightness around like it's in my quad.

But I think I can roll that out pretty well.

I have a wild question for you.

Go for it.

I know what you can ask. Have you done? question for you. Go for it. I know what you're going to ask.

No, no, you don't. That's the second thing is that you need some freaking bodywork. But my first thing is, have you thought about getting an MRI just to make sure there's nothing serious wrong? Oh,

this is a great question. I did think about it. Yeah. And you just decided not to.

I just thought about it. And I didn't go through with the next step. No, but it's actually feeling good.

So unless it's like doesn't round the corner on the next week or so after I get back from Shanghai, then I might do something.

I mean, it could just be like a horrific bone bruise. I fell a couple years ago. And I thought for sure something was broken and even the doctor did. And then I got an MRI and it was like, no, you just bruised it. And it hurt for like six, eight weeks. It was really, really sore. But it's also good to know. Like peace of mind.

Yeah, like, okay, it is just a bone bruise and I do need to rest it, but I'm not going to like crack this or something, you know?
