• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's em you're listening to five Minute Friday. Someone
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: told me yesterday that when they think of my name,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they think of me as Emily, a body like need
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the first and the last name. I can be just Emily.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That's cool with me anyway. I digress. Hey, what's up. Hello,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I've had a week. I want to tell you what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I did this week. I booked my trip for the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Berlin Marathon. And I'm gonna be honest, I am scared
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: as hell to even say that, because right now I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: am sitting in front of this microphone speaking to you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: while also simultaneously icing my foot, and I have the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: confidence from my PT team that I am capable of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: doing this, that I will be okay to do this,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But man, does it feel as unsettling as everything to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: say to myself, I am going to be able to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: run a marathon at the end of September, knowing that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I am regularly going through random, sporadic pain now, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I say that also recognizing that things now are much
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: different than they were five months ago. These days, right now,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I am strength training three days a week, running three
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: days a week, and doing yoga Monday a week, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: some of those are doubled up, so I still have
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a rest day on Sundays. And with that said, I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: was certainly not running three days a week back in January.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: In fact, I was taking the month off of running
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in January. So yeah, I just have a lot of feels.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: This has been something I've wanted to do for a while,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and I also recognize that London was something I wanted
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to do for a really long time, and I put
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that off for a year after I had registered for it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So what will be will be.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: But the hotel is booked, the flight is booked, the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: after travel is mostly booked, and I Am just going
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to do the best I can with what I have.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I feel now like booking all of this and kind
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of putting this all in motion. I was really committed
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to my recovery before, but this feels like I am
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: being intentional with where I'm going and my commitment to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: where I'm going, and that feels really good. It feels
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: like I'm doing something for me, despite how scary it is.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I will be the first to say that over the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: last few years, I've learned a lot more about valuing
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and prioritize zaying things like this prioritizing the things that
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I need to do for me so that I can
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: show up better for myself and then in turn better
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for the people that I care about. And so I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: tell you all of this to bring you to this
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: prompt at the end of five Minute Friday. Here, what
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is one thing that you can do for yourself today
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to prioritize you. And it doesn't have to be something big, right, yes,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: signing up for a marathon big to do. And also
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I say that, and some people listen to this might
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: be like, that is my own that sounds like personal torture.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And that's okay. Your self care. Doesn't need to make
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: my self care. So what is one small action it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: can literally be today. I will walk around the block today,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I will speak to myself like I would a loved one. Today,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I will make sure to drink six glasses of water
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: because I know that I feel good when I'm hydrated,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. So what is one thing that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you're going to do for yourself today that is giving
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: back to you you prioritizing yourself and feeling good. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: now a listener question.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, It's Mandy from San Francisco. I've been traveling
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a lot more for work lately and keep ending up
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: in New York a little sick of everything within a
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: two block radius of my Midtown hotel and would love
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: some recommendations for where to venture out, where to eat,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: where to drink, where to walk, what pasta to get,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and where looking forward to the res.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Lucky for you, Mandy, I have an entire weekly hurdle
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on this very topic. My favorite place is to eat
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: breakfast and brunch, and eat lunch and dinner and have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: cocktails and sweat all of the categories. So I'm will
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: link that in the show notes. But because you said pasta,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: if you haven't heard me talk about this a dozen
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: times already, I'm going to talk about it again right now.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The Bowlinese from Bar pre Me is, in my heart,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: one of the best pastas in New York, and I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: say that knowing that it's accessible because you can get
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a reservation. There are so many unbelievable pastas at restaurants
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and spots that are really hard to get into, like
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Lilia and Carbone. But with that said, I promise you,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: if you plan a little bit in advance, you can
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: definitely get into our premium, no questions asked. Two other
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: must tries if you are visiting, I'll mention here. One,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you've got to get a cookie from Levene. I'm a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: big fan of the two Chip chocolate chip. And then
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: if you want to go to a rooftop for drinks,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you cannot go wrong if you stop by the Highlight Room.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's new at the Moxie in the Lower East Side.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: If you get there early, like happy hour, you shouldn't
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have a problem getting upstairs. The views are really beautiful,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the drinks are really delicious, and there's always really good
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: good music. That's it for now again. Check out the
• 6:03
