  Speaker 2: Or a cockroach? Oh?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Probably a cockroach. I feel like I've dealt well. A

• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So like I've dealt with many mice in my New
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: York apartment, but in New York apartment, it's not the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: one that I have now, thankfully, But if I was

  Speaker 1: lose my shit.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: What's your go to race song?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: My favorite song to run to is Nice for What

  Speaker 1: five or six times, and I use it as like
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: my like Super Mario style power up.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: What do you look for in the right pair of jeans?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I need a gene that has stretch because I feel
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: as though otherwise my waist is typically a little bit
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: smaller than my thighs, so I need a nice stretch.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of Revtown denim because I feel
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like it's got that stretch. And I also love a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: pair of ripe jeans, but the rips need to not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: like have my legs protruding out of them.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, but like, what

  Speaker 1: three nights watching part of the movie Blonde and it

  Speaker 1: I would say that, I'll say the marathon thoughts that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I kept coming back to were come back to calm
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and then literally one step, one breath, one thing at
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a time. What are you doing after this trip? I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: flying back to New York on Thursday. I am going
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to fly to Chicago on Friday, the day that this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: episode comes out, and then I will be popping up
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: with Tracksmith on Friday night and enjoying a weekend in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Chicago about cheering on all the runners that will be
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: running the Chicago Marathon.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I need to get deep dish.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't get deep dish the last time I was there,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: so that's a high priority.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Last question, how many shoes did you bring on this trip?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And how many were you bring on the next trip?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, I need to bring less shoes on the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: next trip.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I brought five pairs of sneakers on this trip, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: one of the pairs of sneakers. I'm embarrassed to say this.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: The new Balance ten eighty comes in a lace style
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and a slip on style, and I brought both. Cannot
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: recommend the laceless ten eighty enough. I just wear it
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to kick around, but I have been so comfy in it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Five pairs of sneakers. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I also brought boots and brought I brought a pair
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of mules and a pair of birkenstops stocks, birkenstocks, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a pair of slides. I checked my suitcase. I never
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: checked my suitcase. Who five minutes is up?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Wow? That was like that was a lot. How do you, Ashley?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: How do you feel?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'm very hot right now, I'm sweating. We have burlesque
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to go watch. That's five minute Friday for this week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I hope you guys enjoyed the segment. Maybe we'll have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to have Ash back for a round two. We do
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: live very close to each other back at home. A
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: huge thank you to all of you for participating by listening.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It's time for us to get out of here. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: first a listener question.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Hamley, congratulations on London. My question is how do you
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: stay motivated in between races. I sign up for a race,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I train, I run it, I love it. I tell
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: myself I'm just going to take a week off, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: that week extends two months and I stop running all together.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: And then I say, okay, it's time for my next race,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: and it's like starting all over again. So how do
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: you stay motivated to continue to run in between races?
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Thanks so much?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Hello, Hello.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So the first thing that I want to say here
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: is it's okay to chill for a second, take a beat,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: have some downtime. If you are working toward a big goal,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: then that is a major commitment and sometimes your body
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: just needs a minute to have.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: That downbeat, have that down time.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Having grace with yourself is extremely important now. Personally, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: am looking forward to setting some goals right now that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing to do with running. There are some
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: other areas of my overall wellness snapshot, I will call
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it that I have been neglecting. I'm thinking about the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: foods that I'm putting into my body. I'm thinking about
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the time that I spend doing breathwork, meditating, journaling. And
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm also really excited to start thinking about strength training
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in a reinvigorated light. You'll be hearing more about this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: on the show very soon, but I'm about to kick
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: off once again working with a trainer one on one
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: using the Future app and so that is something I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: am really excited about. When it comes to that waning motivation,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I have been there. I get it, and I know
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that frustration point when it feels like you're starting from
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: square one. I will reiterate the importance of having grace
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with yourself. However, my biggest piece of advice to avoid
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that post big goal slump is ultimately to set another one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So do an honest audit.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Sit down and ask yourself, what is it that I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: want to focus on right now?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: What is something that excites me?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And bonus points if you're shifting the training stimulus. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: if we're going to bring it into the running side
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of things, say you just trained for a marathon.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: How could it feel for you to.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Instead train to run a fast mile, or perhaps shift
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: your focus to another area of fitness all together, another modality,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: whether that is yoga or string training, working with kettlebells.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: The world is your oyster. And then share that goal
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with someone. Talk to a friend about it, talk to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a mentor about it. Be open about the things that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: excite you, and embrace the opportunity to bring people along
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: with you on your journey. Who all right, Well, that's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it for now. I hope to see some of you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: who may be listening to this this evening in Chicago
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and make sure you're falling along with Hurdle on the socials.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: That's over at Hurdle Podcast. I'm over at Emily Abadi.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: A huge resounding thank you again to my friend Ashley.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna hyper up for a second. She just qualified
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: for the Boston Marathon in her run in London last week.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you, ash and I'm so so
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: grateful for you. Another hurdle conquered. Catch you guys next time.
