• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Emily Abadi here coming to you from the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Age studio. You are listening to five Minute Friday from Hurdle.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We made it through another week, A full week for
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: me at home, mostly early bedtimes, a little bit of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fun mixed in there, and I am prepping to be
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: off on another adventure, heading back to the West Coast.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: No Hurdler meetups there exclusively for a lot of work,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: but excited to grab myself a little bit warmer temperature
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as although this week has been stunning in New York
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and see myself some palm trees for five Minute Friday
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to you guys about something that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I have been.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know if navigating is the right word, because
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I feel really confident and happy.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if happy is the right word either.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I am dealing this is such a sexy word, with
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: planto fasciitis in my heel. And basically what plantofasciitis is,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to get specific, it's inflammation of a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: thick band of tissue that essentially runs from your heel
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: bone to your toes or the ball of your foot,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: across the whole bottom of your foot and when you
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: get inflammation, a lot of individuals feel pain.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: In their heel.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I've been like dealing with a little bit of plant
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: fasciitis pain over the last few months, but recently it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: gotten to the point where it won't really bother me
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on my run, but after my run, I'll be hobbling around.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Like last weekend, after I went on a eleven mile
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: run with my friend Willie, I went to brunch with
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: my mom and I literally limped from my apartment to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: brunch and limped home and was like so excited to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: put my foot in a bucket of ice water. So
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: clearly some things needed to shift, and I made the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: kind of frustrating decision, but write decision to not run
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Half Marathon next weekend. It's just not smart
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: for me right now to go out and race thirteen
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: miles knowing that afterward I will not be walking super
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: well and it could do further damage. And that is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not what we want. I want to think long term.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I want to think longevity. I want to fix this
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: issue asap. I've already spoken to my PT. We have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a plan of attack, and my plan of attack is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: one that will work for me. And has things considered
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for me and may not work for you. However, there
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: are a bunch of different helpful exercises that he's giving me,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so at some point or another I will share those
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: over on the socials. But the point of this is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not just to express to you that this is this
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: thing that I am dealing with, but more so reflect
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on how I felt about canceling my Brooklyn half marathon
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: registration for next weekend versus how I felt about canceling
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: my London Marathon registration last year. And what I noticed
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in making this decision was that I didn't feel so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: emotional about it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I wasn't so.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Angry or frustrated or caught up in the things that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I couldn't change, but rather very much calm and aware
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that the decision that I was making was the best
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: decision for me, and that there will be other Brooklyn
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: half marathons, and that by making this decision now, I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: putting myself in hopefully a better place for other things
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that I am excited about in the months to come,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: specifically knock on would the London Marathon in October. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: will keep you updated, but remember that everyone's journey is different,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: right so, like I said, the plan of attack that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I have is one that I have carefully discussed with
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: my physical therapist, and I am doing what is right
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for me and my body. And that might look different
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: if you have dealt with a similar injury yourself from
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: what might be right for you and your body. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: digress my prompter you this week? What has been something recently?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe a situation that you handled in a certain way
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that you realized demonstrated a fair amount of growth from
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a previous hurdle moment. What is a situation that you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: navigated recently that you came to understand exempt a fair
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: amount of growth from a previous hurdle moment?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And now a listener question.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Hi, this is Ash from Richmond. I had the chance
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to hear you talk in DC at the goal setting workshop.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Wanted to say thank you got my button gear to
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: handle some things I've been avoiding. I have acne scars,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: so I am on the route to recovery. Why don't
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: you talk about skin or genetics because that really makes
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: you who you are mentally, physically, athletically the rabbit hole skin?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: What are you using? What do you love?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: What treatments have you tried? Also just thank you girl.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You're so magical.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Ugh Ash, what is going on? Hey?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Girlfriend, I hope you're doing well down in Richmond. It
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was so nice to meet you down in DC, and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I hope to be back in that area definitely over
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the summer. I will keep you posted. Skincare, it is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: certainly not an area that I am a pro at.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, it is one that I have a lot
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of growth to do. I would say for the most part,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of that breaks out often and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: my skincare routine, so to speak. I have a bunch
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of different products in my medicine cabinet. Many of them,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for this are sent to me. Some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of them are drunk Elephant. I have Covey from Emila Didonado.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Who was on the show.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And I basically do a makeup wipe, then I do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a face wash, any face wash cleanser. Once or twice
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a week. I'll use a cleanser that has an exfoliant
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in it. Then I'll use like one of the toners.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: After that, I'll use one of the I'll just like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: pick a serum.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I'll finish with a moisturizer.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm really big on this specific keels moisturizer.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: They're ultra facial cream it is called, and that's the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: whole shebang.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Again, clearly you can tell from my description of this
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that I'm not a beauty wiz. I don't even know
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in the names of half of the products that are
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: in my medicine cabinet. The most quote unquote annoying skin
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: condition that I deal with is I get those small
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: bumps and I don't have the clinical name for them,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: but along my forehead in my forehead because of excess sweat.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I uh yeah, just try at
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the very least to wash my makeup off at the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: end of the day, and sometimes even that is just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to win. If you want more skincare tips and tricks,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I did sit down with Renee Rollo. She is an
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: unbelievable expert founder of as you Know It, Renee Rouleau Skincare.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I will link her episode in the show notes so
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that you can find some of that goodness there. But
