• 1:13
  Speaker 1: As I was saying, I had put up something on
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: social media on my personal page yesterday and the post
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: was just me standing in my kitchen and the caption
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was this is my week in emojis. Super simple, I know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and the emojis I used. Wow, I guess I've never
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: really had to say these out louds. So it's kind
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of gonna be funny here, sleepy emoji, coffee gold medal,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: which is supposed to symbolize me watching the Olympics, a journal, running,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: showering computer, the woman with her hands up emoji. It's like,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what the hell am I doing here? Writing microphone a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: mask because Hi, COVID, you're just relentless wine and then
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the repeat sign.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And I asked in the caption to.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone that was looking at it to put their emojis
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of the day in the comments, and looking at the comments,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I started to reevaluate, maybe like my choice of emojis,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in that I was looking at what other people had
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to share, and there were some things that maybe I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: hadn't taken the time to think about.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Right. There were some dancing emojis, some hearts emojis.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Some one person commented with just exclusively a bunch of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: hearts that I know, indicating that his life is just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: full of a lot of love. Smiling emoji, something that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I completely overlooked. Heart in the eyes emojis, family emojis,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have a baby, but baby emojis, American pride,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: going with the Olympics, weightlifting, etc. And I have this
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: moment where he took a step back and I was like,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: are you so focused in the grind of your day
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to day that you're not appreciating and realizing so much
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of the goodness that is going on around you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: It's not lost on me that I have so much
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: love in my life. I actually had a.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Really awesome week seeing some friends that I haven't seen
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in some time.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Last night, I had.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Pizza Friday on a Thursday, leading up to my morning
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: long run today with my original tripod as I call them,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: my two best friends that used to live a few
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: blocks from me uptown before moving to Connecticut. And so
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I almost needed this and it was completely unintentional what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: resulted from it, But what resulted from it was me
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to like take a step back and do a gut
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: check and do some inventory and be like, m find
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the gratitude. So maybe tomorrow, if I was to write
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: down my emojis again, I would put down some different ones.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So my fun prompt for you this week. You can
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: do it in your notes app. You could do it
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on my Instagram post from yesterday over at Emila Body.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: What are your emojis right now?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And if you don't like perhaps the emojis that you're
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: putting down.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: What can you do to flip that script? Again?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: What are your emojis right now? Feel free to throw
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: them on Instagram shoot me a DM whatever you want.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And if you don't like those emojis, what can you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: do to flip the script? And now I'll listen to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: our question.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Hi Emily, my name's Selini and I'm starting a new
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: job in New York and moving to the city in
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the beginning of August. And I'm really excited. But I
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was wondering if you had any advice for using running
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: as a way to explore the city and finding new
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: areas to run while still staying safe. I would love
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to know your advice. Thanks so much, so so.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And for you that you are making the move over
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to New York. Obviously I love it. I've been here
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for more than ten years and I love running around
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this city. I'm obviously biased. Now I love what you
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: asking your question. How can I explore and stay safe?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That's really important for me. Staying safe is all about
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: running in well lit areas if it is before like
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: six fifteen or so in the morning. Although I haven't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: necessarily been running that early in the pandemic. But if
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it's super early, I would definitely encourage you to stay
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on main roads and avenues rather than a lot of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: little side streets or going to the park. On these
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: main roads, you'll be you know, around cars and perhaps
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and perhaps other people, and that's really really important when
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: it comes to your safety. Also, as a newbie, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: would suggest kind of looking into the different areas that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you want to go running in.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe head on over to Strava.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Over there you can check out people's roots and see
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: where a lot of.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: The runners are getting out and logging their miles.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And lastly, new to the community, which means that now
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is as good of a time as ever to look
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: into joining different running clubs.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: By joining running.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Club you'll be in the loop with people that have
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: been here for quite some time, and they will certainly
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: have input as to where you can go, what the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: right places quote unquote to go could be. And also
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean friends, new friends, new city, all good things.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: One last note on the safety thing. If you are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: running around and you are total new but could be
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: helpful maybe just for a while to turn down the music,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: turned down the podcast. Although I love that you listen
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to the podcast, Just be a little extra vigilant as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you get your feet wet here in this beautiful place
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that I call home and now that you do too.
• 6:38
