1
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Emily body here. You are listening to five

2
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Minute Friday from Hurdle. Y'all, this week has been a

3
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: beautiful week in New York, like we finally got the

4
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: summer that we've been waiting for, just in time for

5
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: me to bring in another year. My birthday was on Monday.

6
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: I had the most beautiful week enjoying life honestly with friends,

7
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: celebrating by spending time in the sun, going out to dinner,

8
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: and just enjoying the little things. On Wednesday of this week,

9
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: for all of those that may celebrate, was Global Run Day,

10
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: and as a part of that day, I went to

11
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: this experience that Nike was putting on in the city.

12
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: They gathered different individuals that identify as media perhaps some creators,

13
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: and put together a race for us. I ran a

14
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: fast mile and there was also an option to do

15
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: a relay race and it was a lot of fun. Candidly,

16
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: deciding to try to race a mile after two days

17
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: of birthday celebrations was questionable on my part. However, it

18
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun and also I had a

19
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: moment that I am here to talk to you about today.

20
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: I knew that it was going to be tough I

21
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: also know that I am planning to race a half

22
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: marathon on Saturday in Los Angeles, and so I went

23
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: into Whennesday morning's mile time trial with a certain level

24
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: of hesitancy. And I'm out there, I do one lap.

25
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm on my second lap, and what was happening was

26
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: a girlfriend of mine was running with me for the

27
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: first two laps, and she was going to switch out

28
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: with another good friend of mine for the second two laps.

29
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: And as we're getting to the halfway point, finishing off

30
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: that second of four laps, I say to my girlfriend

31
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: that's running with me. I say, I think I'm going

32
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: to scratch this. Like it just wasn't feeling super stellar.

33
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: I didn't want to push too hard. But what happened?

34
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: I say that to her? She says, Okay, whatever feels

35
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: right for you. And I see in the distance that

36
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: my girlfriend that's about to pace me for the second

37
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: part of this, the back half of this, she's already

38
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: taken off to set the pace for what would be

39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: the goal for the back half. And I just look

40
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: up and I say to myself, well, I guess we're

41
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: doing this now. Sometimes we need that, right, we need

42
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: someone else to remind us who we are. We need

43
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: someone else to put their hand on our shoulder and

44
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: say you've got this. And it wasn't so much about

45
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: whatever the outcome ultimately was on Wednesday. It was more

46
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: so of that important reminder that sometimes doing heart things

47
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: is going to be intimidating, and it is also possible

48
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: to do them anyway. Again, doing heart things will be intimidating, yes,

49
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: and it is also possible to execute. There is room

50
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: for both there. And so while I may not have

51
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: run my actual fastest mile on Wednesday, I was really

52
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: proud of myself for sticking with it. I was really

53
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: proud of myself for keeping on keeping on, and grateful

54
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: to my team for believing in me when sometimes I

55
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: just think to myself that maybe today is not my day.

56
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: So my question for you this week is what's the

57
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: mile you're in? What are you wavering on right now?

58
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: And where could you benefit from a little extra love?

59
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Where are you wavering right now? Where is your self

60
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: belief staggering? And how can you show up for you

61
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: to surprise yourself in the near future. And now a

62
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: listener question. Hey, I am a longtime listener of the show.

63
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Here I want to know what is one thing you

64
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: know now at thirty seven that you wish you knew

65
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: at twenty seven? Thanks so much for everything you do. Ooh,

66
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: this is a good one. Something I know at thirty

67
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: seven that I wish I knew at twenty seven. I

68
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: don't know if I would necessarily go back and tell

69
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: myself anything. I feel like it all happened the way

70
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: that it's supposed to happen. But what I will say

71
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: is that it's not always that serious, and we owe

72
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: it to ourselves to find the joy, to find the

73
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: good in every day. There are going to be days

74
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: where doing that feels more difficult than others. With that said,

75
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: it's not that serious. Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders,

76
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Know that you don't need to respond to every email

77
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: within minutes, that it's okay to evaluate, to respond instead

78
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: of react, and trust that your gut is leading you

79
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I hope that helps. I'm over

80
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: at Emily Abody and at Hurdle Podcast, and as always,

81
