And basically what plantofasciitis is, 19 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: if I'm going to get specific, it's inflammation of a 20 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: thick band of tissue that essentially runs from your heel 21 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: bone to your toes or the ball of your foot, 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: across the whole bottom of your foot and when you 23 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: get inflammation, a lot of individuals feel pain. 24 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: In their heel. 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: Now. 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I've been like dealing with a little bit of plant 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: fasciitis pain over the last few months, but recently it's 28 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: gotten to the point where it won't really bother me 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: on my run, but after my run, I'll be hobbling around. 30 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: Like last weekend, after I went on a eleven mile 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: run with my friend Willie, I went to brunch with 32 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: my mom and I literally limped from my apartment to 33 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: brunch and limped home and was like so excited to 34 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: put my foot in a bucket of ice water. So 35 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: clearly some things needed to shift, and I made the 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: kind of frustrating decision, but write decision to not run 37 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Half Marathon next weekend. It's just not smart 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: for me right now to go out and race thirteen 39 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: miles knowing that afterward I will not be walking super 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: well and it could do further damage. And that is 41 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: not what we want. I want to think long term. 42 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: I want to think longevity. I want to fix this 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: issue asap. I've already spoken to my PT. We have 44 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: a plan of attack, and my plan of attack is 45 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: one that will work for me. And has things considered 46 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: for me and may not work for you. However, there 47 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: are a bunch of different helpful exercises that he's giving me, 48 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: so at some point or another I will share those 49 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: over on the socials. But the point of this is 50 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: not just to express to you that this is this 51 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: thing that I am dealing with, but more so reflect 52 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: on how I felt about canceling my Brooklyn half marathon 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: registration for next weekend versus how I felt about canceling 54 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: my London Marathon registration last year. And what I noticed 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: in making this decision was that I didn't feel so 56 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: emotional about it. 57 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: I wasn't so. 58 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: Angry or frustrated or caught up in the things that 59 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't change, but rather very much calm and aware 60 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: that the decision that I was making was the best 61 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: decision for me, and that there will be other Brooklyn 62 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: half marathons, and that by making this decision now, I'm 63 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: putting myself in hopefully a better place for other things 64 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: that I am excited about in the months to come, 65 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: specifically knock on would the London Marathon in October. I 66 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: will keep you updated, but remember that everyone's journey is different, 67 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: right so, like I said, the plan of attack that 68 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: I have is one that I have carefully discussed with 69 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: my physical therapist, and I am doing what is right 70 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: for me and my body. And that might look different 71 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: if you have dealt with a similar injury yourself from 72 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: what might be right for you and your body. I 73 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: digress my prompter you this week? What has been something recently? 74 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Maybe a situation that you handled in a certain way 75 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: that you realized demonstrated a fair amount of growth from 76 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: a previous hurdle moment. What is a situation that you 77 00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: navigated recently that you came to understand exempt a fair 78 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 1: amount of growth from a previous hurdle moment? 79 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: And now a listener question. 80 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: Hi, this is Ash from Richmond. I had the chance 81 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: to hear you talk in DC at the goal setting workshop. 82 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: Wanted to say thank you got my button gear to 83 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 3: handle some things I've been avoiding.

Why don't 85 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: you talk about skin or genetics because that really makes 86 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: you who you are mentally, physically, athletically the rabbit hole skin? 87 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: What are you using?

I would say for the most part, 98 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of that breaks out often and 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: my skincare routine, so to speak. I have a bunch 100 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: of different products in my medicine cabinet.

Once or twice 106 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: a week. I'll use a cleanser that has an exfoliant 107 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: in it. Then I'll use like one of the toners. 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: After that, I'll use one of the I'll just like 109 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: pick a serum. 110 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: I'll finish with a moisturizer. 111 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm really big on this specific keels moisturizer. 112 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 2: They're ultra facial cream it is called, and that's the 113 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: whole shebang. 114 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: Again, clearly you can tell from my description of this 115 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: that I'm not a beauty wiz. I don't even know 116 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: in the names of half of the products that are 117 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: in my medicine cabinet. The most quote unquote annoying skin 118 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: condition that I deal with is I get those small 119 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: bumps and I don't have the clinical name for them, 120 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: but along my forehead in my forehead because of excess sweat. 121 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: But other than that, I uh yeah, just try at 122 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the very least to wash my makeup off at the 123 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: end of the day, and sometimes even that is just 124 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: to win.
