• 0:08
  Speaker 1: My life. Hey everyone, Emily a body here. Listen into
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from Hurdle. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a ball of all of the things right now. I'm nervous,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm excited, I feel kind of I mean not kind of.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a little bit speechless, which isn't helpful when you're
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a podcaster. I'm sitting in my hotel room. I'm in Tokyo,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm recording this in the future, which is wild
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because by the time you listen to this, I will
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: only be about twenty four hours out from running my
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: thirteenth marathon, the Tokyo Marathon, my sixth World Marathon major,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Is absolutely bananas.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: For five Minute Friday Today, it's the state of the state,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It's how's my mental state, And candidly, I feel both
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: ready and also oddly unprepared for this, And the unprepared
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: comes from the emotional side of things. I feel as
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: though I am not even understanding how much this is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: going to hit me on the day of the marathon,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that running my thirteenth marathon is going to feel even
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: crazier than running my first marathon back in Hartford almost
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: over ten years ago.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: At this point and it's a lot, but it's a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: good a lot.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I have had a lot of time on my own
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this week as I've been traveling from Singapore, which was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend it enough to Tokyo. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in that time, I've just been thinking so much about
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: two topics. Really, one the fact that this wasn't a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: goal for me when I started. When I started running,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I was using running as a weight loss tool, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: only as a weight loss tool. I didn't love it
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: at first at all. In fact, I did everything I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: could to just get through the run a half mile
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: every day for an entire summer back in two thousand
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and eight, and now I truly cannot imagine my life
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: without it. I spent time writing on all of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: different things that running has helped me get through and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: overcome the hurdles that I have persevered through because I've
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: had this tool at my disposal at least a part
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of the toolbox anyway, that has helped me navigate all
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: these hard times. And yeah, so many feelings. And so
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I never had this goal. I never aspired to run
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all the six World marathon majors, but over time it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: what unfolded for me, and I could not be more grateful.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And then the second thing I've been thinking about is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: just how I want to feel in my life if
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I put up a post about this on social media.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But this whole marathon training cycle, I've been plagued with
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: different health issues and injury, and I finally feel mostly
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: good heading into this thing. And what I've learned through
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: my experience is that all I want for the rest
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of my life is to be able to move my body.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: However I want obviously within uh with grace as I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: get older, but I have a goal to be able
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to move long term, and that means thinking long term
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: when I'm dealing with different issues, when I'm dealing with injury,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: when I'm coping with whatever it is that I'm going through,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: when I'm prioritizing recovery right and I know that this
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: has given me so much, and how dare I use
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it as something that could also take away from me
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in the long run. And so as I sit here
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: on a cusp of such a major accomplishment, it is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: not something that I take lightly, and it is something
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that I can say has been such a but is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: also just the beginning for so much more to come.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And yeah, oh my god, I'm so amped. I'm so amped.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And so my prompt you this week what is one
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: goal that you want to accomplish in the rest of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four? Again that prompt for you, what is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: one goal that you want to accomplish in the rest
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four? And now a listener question. Hi,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: am I love following all of your travels. I'm wondering
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: if you can share what's one thing that you always
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: bring with you anytime you take a trip.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I have a big trip coming up and I would
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: love to hear some of your tips.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I know I talk about AG one and Element all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the time, so I don't want to make this an
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: ad read, but truly I can't imagine traveling without them.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I drink them both every single morning, especially when gearing
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: up for a marathon, but every single morning, regardless the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: listener deals for that the sponsor, I'm going to throw
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: them in the show notes, but head on over to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: drinkag one dot com slash hurdle to get five free
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: travel packs and a year supply of Vitamin D absolutely
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: free with your purchase. And then Element is giving you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a sample pack with your purchase. That's drink Element dot com,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: drink lmnt dot com slash hurdle. But the other thing
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I cannot imagine traveling without is drum roll. I just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: did a little drum roll on my desk right here.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: The Airfly Duo.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So basically, it's this little thing that plugs into the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: headphone jack on the plane and it allows your headphones
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to pair Bluetooth to the TV in front of you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so that you can use your own headphones, which is
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: such a game changer, especially with noise cancelation. I feel
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as though in my older age I am like even
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: more sensitive to how loud the ambient noise.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Is on the plane.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And so when I can put on my AirPods Promax
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and put that Airfly Pro Duo Fly Duo, I'll link
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the right one, I promise in the show notes and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: listen to the TV that way it is. It's amazing
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: for watching movies. I'm in my own zone and the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: noise on the plane doesn't bother me. So yes, that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is what I would recommend to you this week. The
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: other thing I'm obsessed with my away luggage, I especially
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the bigger sized carry on. It fits on almost every
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: single plane I've ever been on. I've only had to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: gate check it once and it is within the TSA
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: limits of sizing. So can't recommend both the Airfly Duo
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and the t the TSA the away bigger carry on size.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'll link both of those in the show notes. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: love your listener question, so keep them coming. I'm running
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to the end of my pile and i could use
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: some more. You can either send them by clicking that link,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: leave me a message in the show notes, or feel
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: free to send us a message voice notote over at
• 6:57
