• 1:01
  Speaker 1: an episode is about. Now. If you follow me on Instagram,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: over at Emily a Body or at Hurdle podcast, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: know that I am an avid runner, but I haven't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: always been that way. These days, I'm doing something that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: has been deemed the lace up very often and it's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: pretty simple. I literally put down my cell phone. It
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sounds silly every time I say this out loud. Put
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: down my cell phone, sit on a small pillow, tie
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: my shoes on camera, post it to social media and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: head out for a run. It's just that simple. Usually
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I tag it with some music, maybe a thought or
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: feeling about where I'm at, and that's it. It's become
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: something that warms my heart when I see other people
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: posting their lace ups, getting up, getting out and again
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: moving with intention, and that's what it's all about. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this week, in honor of Hurdle's one hundredth episode, I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: am issuing it to you, the lace Up Challenge. That's right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I want everyone everywhere listening to this in this time
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: where everything feels uncertain and we're just looking for a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of community wherever we can get it, to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: post a lace up of their own. Now, before I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: get into the logistics, I just want you to understand
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: why this means so much to me, why every single
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lace up makes a difference. When I started running back
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in college over ten years ago, I hated it. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: felt like it was so difficult. I felt as though
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I was awful at it. At the time, I was
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: working at a summer camp and so I didn't have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: any other option except really to try running. There was
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: no big box gym, no Planet Fitness, no elliptical for me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: To hop on mindlessly for forty five minutes. So how
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I really got in to running was literally lacing up
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: every single day and going out for fourteen minutes. I'd
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: run the same route every single day, and every single
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: day I felt better for it. Listen, some lace ups
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: are going to be better than others. But what's important
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is that you're sitting down and you're lacing up in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the first place. That summer of lacing up for those
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: fourteen minute runs, it changed my life forever. Now I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: sit here talking into this microphone as an eight time
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: marathon or someone who has gained so much value and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: perspective just by getting out there in the first place.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And so thus I present you in celebration of episode
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one hundred, the lace Up Challenge. Now Here is how
• 3:38
