  Speaker 1: Oh well, hello there.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Oh man, Emily A Baudi here coming into your feeds
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: with another installment of five Minute Friday, and man, if
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: my head could be I don't think it's possible. It
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: is impossible for me to feel like my head's not
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: more all over the place. But I am harnessing the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: power of my go to marathon mantra, which has come
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: back to calm as I gear up for marathon number
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: ten New York City Marathon number five this coming Sunday.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, actually, because there's a lot going on right
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: now outside of the marathon, although the marathon feels all consuming,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and I think that this is a really special to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: think about what that means for my life right being
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a runner, it's something very important to me. I identify
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: as a runner, but as I spoke about in my
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: episodes on Injury as I've been dealing with a little
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: wonkiness for some time now and thankfully in a healthy
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: place to show up on Sunday. But I am more
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: than just a runner. I'm also a host. As you're
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: listening to my voice on this podcast right now. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: am a friend, I am a daughter, I am so
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: many things, and so I have this understanding that although
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Sunday is a big moment for me, it is just
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a part of my story. Speaking of the weekend, there
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: are a lot of other things that are very important
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to me that are going on this weekend that kind
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of go hand in hand with the other ways that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I identify mostly as a host. So on today, today,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So today I have the opportunity to sit down with
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: both Emily Sissen and Emma Coburn, and then tomorrow I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: have the opportunity to sit down with Shalaine Flan Again.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I am going to be posting the Shalaine episode to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the feed on Tuesday, So don't freak out, Please don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: if you don't hear see you know something from Hurdle
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on Monday.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I promise you it's coming on Tuesday and.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It's going to be worth the wait, followed by my
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: New York City Marathon recap on Wednesday. But I have
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a lot going on with Hurdle in the next forty
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: eight hours, and then I'm running a marathon. And so
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I recognize that all of these things in my life
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: they make up who I am, and in doing all
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of these things, I have the opportunity to learn something
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I don't have control over how everything goes. But what
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I do have control over is preparing the best way
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that I can to show up to each of these
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: events as my best self. And whether it is sitting
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: down with Slaine in front of a live audience on Saturday,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: or showing up to the starting line in Saten Island
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and running for three and a half hours through the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: streets of New York City, all I can do is
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: give it all I've got. It's how I live, right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's what I live by, just this hope that if
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I put my best foot forward, then things are going
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to happen as they may. And regardless of maybe how
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: these things go, there is always a lesson to be learned.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: It's not easy, right, It's not easy to approach things
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: or scenarios that you've been working really hard for or
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: toward for a long time with that kind of grace
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: because you have this big goal, right, But if you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: can take a step back and think about that goal
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and think about what that goal means. I'm kind of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: inserting some of the vibes that I got from doctor
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Shyanne Brian in Wednesday's episode, But we go after these
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: goals because they make us happy. The process of going
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: after the goals. They make us happy, and if it
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: didn't make us happy, then we wouldn't be chasing them
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: in the first place.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Whatever happens, there's reward in the journey.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And so right now I'm feeling really grateful, I'm feeling
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a little anxious, I'm feeling really excited, But mostly I
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: know that come when I put my head down to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the pillow on Sunday night, I will have definitely learned
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: my fair share of lessons and have some memories to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: last me a lifetime. My prompt for you this week
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a lot about goal setting happening here on the hurdle
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Feed since Wednesday. So what's one goal that you are
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: going after right now and what is one thing you
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: can highlight about the journey to that goal that brings
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you joy? Again, what is one goal that you are
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: chasing right now and what is one thing that you
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: can highlight about your journey to that goal that brings
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you joy? And now a listener question, Hi Emily, could
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you please share what you plan to wear on race day,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: including pre race and then also what you plan to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: run in Thanks so much and good luck. Okay, So
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the weather for Sunday New York City Marathon is supposed
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to be fifty five degrees and sunny. When I show
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: up to the bus at five forty five am, it's
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: probably going to be about thirty eight degrees and dark.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So I when I show up to the bus, I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: going to be carrying my old poncho from the New
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: York City Marathon, plus wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants over
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: what I'm wearing to run the marathon in. Now, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: rule of thumb for dressing for running is that you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: want to dress like it is fifteen degrees hotter outside
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: than it actually is. I don't start until nine to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: fifty five am, which means I'm going to be running
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a bulk of this marathon between ten am and one pm.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not running a three hour marathon, but you get
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the gist of what I'm saying here. And so that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the day, right That's when it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: definitely starting to heat up, which means that although the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: high for the day is fifty five degrees, at some
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: point during my marathon, I might feel like it's up
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to seventy degrees, which means that once I'm heading into
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: my starting corral. Well, those sweatpants, that sweatshirt, at that blanket,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: all of it is getting donated and the bins that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: will be there to accept all of the donations from
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: all of the runners. And I'm running this marathon in shorts,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: tank top, and some bandit running socks. I'm wearing my
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Team Old Man Run Club singlet. I'm wearing either an
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: under armour or a Nike Sports bra. I'm wearing my
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: go tolul Lemon Invigorate shorts. I'm wearing bandit running socks,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and i am wearing the Nike Vapor Fly next percent
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the first iteration of those, that's it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm wearing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Afterward, I will be running to get into warmer clothes.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hopefully hint my parents, who I'll be meeting
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: up with when I'm done, to have some stuff on
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: standby for me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But that's it. That's the game plan.
• 6:51

• 6:56
