• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Friday, we need it. Thank goodness, Thank goodness. Every Friday
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I say something like that, and every Friday I mean it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: This week has tested me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The amount of things that were on my to do
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: list come Thursday actually felt criminal.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It felt criminal. I have had a crazy week.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: On Monday, we had a photo shoot with the entire
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: squad of the Iheartwoman's Sports Network, which was so fun
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to meet and hang with the ladies in person. Monday
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: night was the Draft, which asy fud. That is all
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I will say about that. Tuesday was the Woman in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Sports Business Summit put on by Deep Blue, and that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was really fun to connect with people talking about all
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: things up and coming women in sports. And then Wednesday
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was a quick crashdown when I went to jury duty.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you I had so much anxiety about
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: this because I'm in town this week. I've been in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: town this week and the last two times I was summoned,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I had a contract that I wasn't going to be
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in town, so I've postponed my juror service twice on
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: my summons. This time around it said must attend like
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: previously postponed, And so happy I was that I was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in town, but nervous because today, Friday, April seventeenth, if
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we were listening to this in real time, I'm heading
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: up to Boston for work and cheering on the Boston Marathon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And so I thought to myself, well, this could go
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: one of two ways. I can go and serve my
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: jury day and it will be fine, or I could
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: get selected for a jury and this my spiral end
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to a problem. Well, I'm happy to report that after
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: spending from around eight thirty a m.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: To three forty.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Pm yesterday at the courthouse in the juror room, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was released and I have now fulfilled my civic duty.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Something that I found interesting yesterday was in chatting with
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: many people, many people just ignore their summons. And no
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one that told me that they've ignored a jury summons
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in the past then mentioned that they got a fine.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And so this is my inquiry of the day. Are
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: many of you ignoring your juror summons? Am I a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: model citizen? I know that's not true. I'm not a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: model citizen, although I try to do my part.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: This is me vending to you about what's been going
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on this week, and like I said, I'm super excited
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to go up to Boston for the weekend. I also
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: thought that it was comical that I happened to have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: jury duty on tax Day, like, let's just do the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: perfect storm of all the things.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So I digress. This wasn't what I came to talk
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to you about today.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: What I came to talk to you about today is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the grace that I'm having with myself because I move
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: my body because it brings me joy. And I recognize
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that the older that I get, I'm not on a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: quest each and every time I go out there and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: run some sort of a race to improve my best
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: or better my best. I recently took some time off
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of running when I went through the entire egg freezing process.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You've all been here with me for that journey, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I am running off ive k tomorrow if you're listening
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to this in real time in Boston, and I am
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: anxious about it because if you are like me and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: use the Strava app, the Strava app is telling me
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that I am extremely unfit.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Right now, and that brings up some anxiety.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: The truth is that I'm not really that phased how
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: fast I do this five k in or what really
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: happens out there. I'm going out there to do it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: because it's a fun time. Because Adda said, here, join
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: us for this fun activity. And if I'm gonna lace
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: up and run a five k anyway on Saturday otherwise
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: on my own, then why not do it amongst a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: couple thousand of lovely human beings. But yeah, this is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a theme for me this year is let's find the fun.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I was having a convo with a girlfriend yesterday who's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: doing a half iron Man in July, and part of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: me is thinking, like, shoot, should I just decide to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: give a half iron Man a try. I'm just looking
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to mix things up. I'm looking to try new things.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I'm looking to meet people looking in this. I'm in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the season of why not, and it feels really good.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like, as I'm in the season of yes,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that I'm attracting fun opportunities and so oh, I'm going
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to keep on this path and I'm going to be
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: open to whatever door opens in front of me and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: walk through the ones that feel good.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And so my question for.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You right now, as I'm figuring out what I'm excited
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: about in my spring, summer, fall calendar starts to take shape,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what are you excited about right now? What are you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: looking forward to over the next few months. I'd love
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it if you could tag me and the podcast over
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: on social and respond it's over at Hurdle podcast and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I am over at Emily a Body. And with that,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: here's a listener question. Hey Emily, hope you're doing well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Have a quick question because I know that you're a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sneaker expert. I'm trying to get back into working out,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: nothing super crazy, but do you have a sneaker recommendation
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that you'd offer for outdoor jogging slash treadmill jogging, nothing
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: crazy like max five miles ish and also where to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: work out classes?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Alana.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Alana, this is a good question and honestly a pretty
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: frequent question because people are looking to really refine how
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: much of anything they have in their home and get
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: something that can serve a multitude of purposes. So the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: sneaker that I lean into when I want to run
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit and I also want to go to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the gym is candidly the Nike Pegasus forty two. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like it for a multitude of reasons. It's a workhouse
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for sure, it's a classic within their lineup. It's got
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to breatheable upper so that means that the top part,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the mesh that sits around your foot, it's more breathable
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: than earlier iterations and it really helps you stay cozy.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It also has a wide toe box, which I can appreciate,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and for me, it's got enough cushion for running while
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: also feeling stable for anything I'm doing in the gym.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking things like lateral lunges light weightlifting. Now would
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I go deadlift crazy amounts of weight with the sneaker?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Definitely not.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That's when I'm going to take the sneakers off at
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a weightlifting platform. But if you're doing something like an
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Orange Theory and F forty five a Barrie's Moments where
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you're lifting weights and running, this sneaker would be a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: great go to. I'm going to link it in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: show notes so you can check it out.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And if you have any.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Other sneaker questions, I am all ears, feel free to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: shoot me a note over at Hello at Hurdle dot us,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and of course any of your other questions too, always

• 7:34
  Speaker 1: see some of you up in Boston this weekend. Again
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: over at Emleavadi and at Hurdle Podcast, another hurdle conquered.
• 7:41
