Super simple, I know, 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: and the emojis I used. Wow, I guess I've never 22 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: really had to say these out louds. So it's kind 23 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: of gonna be funny here, sleepy emoji, coffee gold medal, 24 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: which is supposed to symbolize me watching the Olympics, a journal, running, 25 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: showering computer, the woman with her hands up emoji. It's like, 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: what the hell am I doing here? Writing microphone a 27 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: mask because Hi, COVID, you're just relentless wine and then 28 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: the repeat sign. 29 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: And I asked in the caption to. 30 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: Everyone that was looking at it to put their emojis 31 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: of the day in the comments, and looking at the comments, 32 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: I started to reevaluate, maybe like my choice of emojis, 33 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: in that I was looking at what other people had 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: to share, and there were some things that maybe I 35 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: hadn't taken the time to think about. 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: Right. There were some dancing emojis, some hearts emojis. 37 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Some one person commented with just exclusively a bunch of 38 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: hearts that I know, indicating that his life is just 39 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: full of a lot of love. Smiling emoji, something that 40 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: I completely overlooked. Heart in the eyes emojis, family emojis, 41 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: I don't have a baby, but baby emojis, American pride, 42 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: going with the Olympics, weightlifting, etc. And I have this 43 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: moment where he took a step back and I was like, 44 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: are you so focused in the grind of your day 45 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: to day that you're not appreciating and realizing so much 46 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: of the goodness that is going on around you. 47 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: It's not lost on me that I have so much 48 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: love in my life. I actually had a. 49 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Really awesome week seeing some friends that I haven't seen 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: in some time. 51 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: Last night, I had. 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: Pizza Friday on a Thursday, leading up to my morning 53 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: long run today with my original tripod as I call them, 54 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: my two best friends that used to live a few 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: blocks from me uptown before moving to Connecticut. And so 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: I almost needed this and it was completely unintentional what 57 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: resulted from it, But what resulted from it was me 58 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: to like take a step back and do a gut 59 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: check and do some inventory and be like, m find 60 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: the gratitude. So maybe tomorrow, if I was to write 61 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: down my emojis again, I would put down some different ones. 62 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: So my fun prompt for you this week.

And now I'll listen to 73 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: our question. 74 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: Hi Emily, my name's Selini and I'm starting a new 75 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: job in New York and moving to the city in 76 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: the beginning of August. And I'm really excited. But I 77 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: was wondering if you had any advice for using running 78 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 3: as a way to explore the city and finding new 79 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: areas to run while still staying safe. I would love 80 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: to know your advice. Thanks so much, so so. 81 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: And for you that you are making the move over 82 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: to New York. Obviously I love it. I've been here 83 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: for more than ten years and I love running around 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: this city. I'm obviously biased. Now I love what you 85 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: asking your question. How can I explore and stay safe? 86 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: That's really important for me. Staying safe is all about 87 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: running in well lit areas if it is before like 88 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: six fifteen or so in the morning. Although I haven't 89 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: necessarily been running that early in the pandemic. But if 90 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: it's super early, I would definitely encourage you to stay 91 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: on main roads and avenues rather than a lot of 92 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: little side streets or going to the park. On these 93 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: main roads, you'll be you know, around cars and perhaps 94 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: and perhaps other people, and that's really really important when 95 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: it comes to your safety. Also, as a newbie, I 96 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: would suggest kind of looking into the different areas that 97 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: you want to go running in. 98 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: Maybe head on over to Strava. 99 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: Over there you can check out people's roots and see 100 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: where a lot of. 101 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: The runners are getting out and logging their miles. 102 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: And lastly, new to the community, which means that now 103 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: is as good of a time as ever to look 104 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: into joining different running clubs. 105 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: By joining running. 106 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Club you'll be in the loop with people that have 107 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: been here for quite some time, and they will certainly 108 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: have input as to where you can go, what the 109 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: right places quote unquote to go could be.
