1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. In this episode of Amy and PJ,

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: we three weeks ago ended our Chicago Marathon before crossing

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: the finish line and in the back of an ambulance.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Yesterday we finished the New York City Marathon, crossing the

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: finish line, but on our backs. And with that, welcome

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: to this episode of Aby and TJ Robes. It is done, folks.

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: Despite all the talk and the ambulance rides and the

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: injuries and the frustration, we completed the New York City

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Marathon yesterday and we sit here with new hardware around

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: our necks. Feels Good's that metal feels good.

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: It was hard earned, I will say that much. It's

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: funny because it's every marathon is different and you can't predict.

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: I can't predict at least what's going to happen, what's

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: not going to happen, And enough, yesterday was no different

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: than the five that preceded it.

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: For me, they're all different.

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you're listening to us, yes we are.

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: We are recording this the day after the New York

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: City Marathon we ran yesterday. We have the normal aches

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: and pains today, but yesterday was a bit of a struggle,

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: Like I said, how many New York City marathons were you?

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: This was my fourth New York City mariage, ah, and.

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: This was my third, so third straight. So we kind

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: of know what's coming and we know what to expect,

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: and it's a very and thank you again New York City.

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: You'll know how to do this, and you do it

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: so well. And this is one day that the city

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: we talked about before gives a just an embrace, You

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: get a collective embrace from the city like no other

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: time you ever see in the city.

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: It is my favorite day in New York City, whether

32
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm running or whether you're just spectating and watching, because

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: it's the one day where there is a real sense

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: of unity. And if you ever do get the opportunity,

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: or ever do choose to put yourself through the training

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: and then the ultimate marathon day, if you are lucky

37
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: enough to run the New York City Marathon, I don't

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: think there are fans greater in the world.

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: And if you've ever.

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: Wondered what it feels like to walk into a roaring stadium,

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: to feel like an Olympian, to feel like a world

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: class athlete, then run the New York City Marathon because

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: You'll never see collectively so many people cheering for you

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: when you're physically putting yourself through the ringer, and.

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: They do help you through the race, and a lot

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: of sections when you are struggling it is, they do

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: give you a boost. So thank you New York City

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: for all you did for us yesterday. This was for

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: us Robes, a redemption run, as we were calling it,

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: after what happened in Chicago. A lot of folks know

51
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: I was dealing with an achilles issue for months all

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: summer during the training. Almost did not even attempt to

53
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: run Chicago, but we did. It had some issues. It's

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: a whole collection a mess, but we ended up not finished,

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: stopped on mile twenty one, twenty one and ended up

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: in the back of an ambulance. I did and was

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: in pretty bad shape. I'm okay, I'm fine. Didn't rupture

58
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: any thing. But I set out to train and to

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: heal and to recover in time to do the New

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: York City Marathon three weeks later. You did not plan

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: on running the New York City Marathon.

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 2: No, I planned on running Chicago. That would have been

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: my sixth marathon. And I actually said, you know what,

64
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: I had done the Chicago Marathon a couple years before,

65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: and I just felt like, I've been training NonStop for

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: marathons for the past five years, and I think it does.

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: It takes a toll. At least it takes a toll

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: on my body. Maybe it's my age, maybe it's my genetics,

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: but it's just I felt like maybe I just really

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: embraced the half marathon, which I love. So when we

71
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: didn't finish the Chicago Marathon, I thought, my goodness, I've

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: trained for the last five months. I could just treat

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: the next three weeks as a continuation of my training

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: and run New York City and have that be.

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: A period.

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a common maybe it's a semicolon to my

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: marathon days.

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Okay, we and say we didn't finish Chicago, but we

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't finish because of me and my jury. This wasn't

80
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a you thing at all. There. You just stayed with

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: me while I was going through what I was going through,

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: and we talked about that and everybody understood. But you

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: were not that you needed another marathon because you didn't

84
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: finish that one because of me.

85
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: Right well, And I.

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: Think, honestly, if I hadn't finished that one because of me.

87
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I might have considered it as well, you know, because

88
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: you put your body through so much training. So, yes,

89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 2: it was the big day and we were feeling good.

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: We look, we've also traveled every weekend for the past

91
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: six weeks. We were in Spain earlier in the week

92
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: coming back to New York, so we weren't maybe set

93
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: up for the very best performance, but we did our

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: best that week to you know, stop drinking, stop you know, like,

95
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: really focus on sleeping, really focus on what we were eating.

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: So we did everything we could in a few days

97
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: leading up to the New York City Marathon.

98
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: So we got up on the morning of and so

99
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: this is how it goes, folks. You get up on

100
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: the morning of and you focus the last three days.

101
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: It's true you focused the last few days before the

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: marathon on your diet and on your sleep. But the

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: diet is very important because look, no kind way to

104
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: necessarily put this, but you want to make sure your

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: stomach isn't jacked up and you end up needing to

106
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: take a number two during the run. You're running that much,

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: that long, if you got the wrong thing in your

108
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: stomach and that stuff's moving around you gonna have a problem.

109
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is one of the many reasons why

110
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: you'll see porta potties lining the marathon route because it's

111
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: hard to predict sometimes how that actually is going to

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: move through you.

113
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: And again it's also why you see plenty of people

114
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: out there with signs the spectators that say don't trust

115
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: that fart.

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: That's sorry, and they're yes, yes, we won't get into

117
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: graphic details, but you see some things sometimes for folks

118
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: who really didn't want to ruin their time. They might

119
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: be pring that might be their personal records, so they

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: didn't want to go to the bathroom and so or

121
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: to the porta potty, so they just yeah, took matters

122
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: into their own.

123
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Yes, they're not wearing dark colored clothing maybe like they should.

124
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: This is all true, so I know it is gross,

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: but this is a part of running, and this is

126
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: why a lot of people go you people are crazy, right,

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: because this is what folks put them themselves through to

128
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: run a marathon. So our morning, yes, we get up,

129
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: so we're focused, we're actually feeling pretty good that morning,

130
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: but it's it's the alarm goes off. I think I

131
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: got up at what like two something.

132
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: You want to know you actually got up out of

133
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: bed at one in the morning.

134
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Okay, don't you're saying, Okay, I didn't mean to. I

135
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: didn't set the alarm, but I don't know. Maybe it

136
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: was like it felt like Christmas to me and for

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: me this was a big deal, a redemption room. I could.

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I told you a couple of days, I head, I

139
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: can't freaking wait.

140
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: You were so excited to go run this marathons Christmas morning?

141
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: It was so I was excited. I actually got out

142
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: of bed went to the couch because I didn't want

143
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the TV on and disturbing you and wanted to make

144
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: sure you got your rest. So this is what people

145
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: do in the morning the marathon. Imagine this, folks. I

146
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: am in the bedroom sitting rubbing cannabis cream on my ankle.

147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Robes is in the bathroom rubbing what underneath your What.

148
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: I'm rubbing anti chafe.

149
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: It's called like runners glide all around where my sports

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: spra hits my body, where my my pants hit my stomach,

151
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: because I have learned the hard way about chafing, and

152
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: it actually ends up looking like secondary burns all over

153
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: your body.

154
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: If you, for me, at least if I don't.

155
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: If I sweat a little and it's cold and you're

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: doing this for four hours, it's called just chafing, and

157
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: it's it's actually a very painful burn.

158
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, if you put that runner's.

159
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: Glide all around those parts of you, but you look

160
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: like a weirdo doing it. You walked in on me

161
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: and you're like, what are you doing?

162
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I've seen you do it, but to give people a

163
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: better visual, I'm sorry to put you through it, but

164
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: imagine robes I mean kind of. I mean essentially topless

165
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: with a little thing that looks like a stick of

166
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: the odorant and she's rubbing it under her breast. Is

167
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: what's happening. So that's not that's an odd site are

168
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: you doing?

169
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: And guess what I didn't chafe? That was bumping that

170
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: went in my direct in the right way. I guess

171
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: yesterday is I had zero chaff egs. You ended up

172
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: with chafing.

173
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Well, we want to get into that, but it had

174
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do. There's no way I could have predicted

175
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: this particular chase.

176
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: It was weird.

177
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: It was a first for me to Okay, I should

178
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: probably go and tell it because we're setting it up

179
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: on the chafing thing. One of the rules, the absolute

180
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: rules for the morning of a marathon. For a runner,

181
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: it's probably number one. You do not try anything new

182
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: on the morning of the marathon. Don't try a new food,

183
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: don't try a new drink, don't try new socks, don't

184
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: try new shoes. Don't make sure everything does not the

185
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: day because you're asking for trouble. I wore pants, new pants,

186
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: new pants, brand new pants that and I always run

187
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: in tights, running tights that always have a pocket on

188
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: the side that I can slide the cell phone in.

189
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: They make those mainly and mostly for a lot of

190
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: when we have them now, so I have done that.

191
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: I've been a serious runner for four years, been keeping

192
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the phone in that pocket on every single run. Bought

193
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: new pants at the expo.

194
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: Must have been a little thinner than the other ones.

195
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: They say New York City.

196
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: They're cool, They're very cool.

197
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Fit great, look good, Oh my goodness, great pants, How

198
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: great pants. I in the race, get home and I

199
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: feel like I've been shot on the side of the leg,

200
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: and sure enough I take a look and there is

201
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: a perfect, perfectly iPhone shaped burn on my right thigh.

202
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: So your phone was moving just a little bit as

203
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: you were running, and it was chafing your thigh. So

204
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: he has an iPhone chafe on his thigh. I have

205
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: never seen that. And I put my cell phone in

206
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: my pocket and I got my pants at the expo

207
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: and I did not put the runners Glide there.

208
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: So so don's no way I could have predicted that.

209
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: Actually had quite funny. It has everything except the Apple logo.

210
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: On Enjoy that for the next.

211
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: The funny thing is you know where you've been shaped

212
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: as soon as you get in the shower after a marathon,

213
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: because you have salt all over your body. Imagine running

214
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: for that long. You are literally crusted in salt. So

215
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: then when you get in the shower, the salt's washing

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: off of you. But if you have any burns, any chafing,

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: it's like rubbing salt in a wound. You're like screaming

218
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: and then you realize, oh wow, I have a mass chafe.

219
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: So later you actually I don't know you, and you

220
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: were making noises in the shower.

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: I was like, what is happening?

222
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: And they thought it was the chafing, but it was

223
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: everything else you were.

224
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: You were groaning in the shower. I was like what

225
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: is happening in there? I looked at Sabi and we

226
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: were like, what's that thing?

227
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: So to get to that point, so let's back up,

228
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: let's go back to the race. So we're leaving the

229
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: house and we get on a bus. So we but

230
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: to pack. Tell tell me what was in your goody

231
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: bag on the way to the bus to go to.

232
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: Okay, the clear plastic bag in my goodie back?

233
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Okay, well I had my Oh yeah, the good the

234
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: one you ran.

235
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

236
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: So we cut up because we read I was trying

237
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: to find things that don't make me sick and those

238
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: runner gummies and Runner goose always do. So we decided

239
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: it would be a good idea after looking online on

240
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: the internet. Again, probably shouldn't do anything different on race day,

241
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: but we cut up liquorice. We cut up Twizzlers to

242
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: be specific. I threw in a couple of Skittles too,

243
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: just for some power ups throughout the race. And so

244
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: we each had a little baggie of Twizzlers in our

245
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: pocket to eat along the way.

246
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: But that works for me because I know twizzlers sit

247
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: well on my stomach. I've been eating them pretty seriously for.

248
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I witnessed this.

249
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we have this. I have ibuprofen and five

250
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: hour energy. I think that's it in my bag.

251
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: And I did take a Runner's scummy before I started,

252
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: so I had two of those that had caffeine and

253
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: electrolytes in them, and I tablet well, I did have

254
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: a noon tablet electrolytes. I drank one before and then

255
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: I had my water bottle because I was going to

256
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: try not to stop at the water stations to just

257
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: kind of squirt a little water in my mouth and

258
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: try not to make me sick by having all that

259
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: water jostling in my stomach.

260
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you all the stomach. We want to get into

261
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: the stomach a little more here.

262
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: That plan failed.

263
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Second, so we leave at five am, going to fifty

264
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: first between six and seventh where they in New York.

265
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Roadrunners that organizes the marathon has they have a kind

266
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: of a celebrity vip runner situation they set out, which

267
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: is wonderful for us. Thank you again, Roadrunners. So we

268
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: get on the bus and we've been doing this so

269
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: many years. This is really really cool. It's a little family.

270
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: You see the same people year in year out. A

271
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: couple of new runners and one of them was Jennifer Connley,

272
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: the Oscar winner, who was running her first marathon ever.

273
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: She hopped on our bus with us and some of

274
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: our bachelor guys. But I'm just saying we see the

275
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: same fall and this is the coolest thing in the morning.

276
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: That ride, it's just like as a family reunion.

277
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: It is, and you see them probably just once a year.

278
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: Another familiar face Chelsea Clinton. We ran with her two

279
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: years ago, so it was fun to see.

280
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: Her again in the tent.

281
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: So yes, everyone's like, hey, how's it been going. You

282
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: catch up in the runners tent as you're getting ready,

283
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: And yes, we saw pilot Pete, who we just had

284
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: on the podcast. He was all excited about his second marathon,

285
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: this time he actually trained for it. So it was

286
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: just fun.

287
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 3: We had a blast.

288
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: But that ride, that bus ride is special. Once you

289
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: get you're essentially going across the arizontal bridge to the

290
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: starting line at sunrise.

291
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: And you get excited, You get excited about what the

292
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: day is going to bring and the energy you're bringing

293
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: with it.

294
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: It's all very positive.

295
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: Everyone's a little nervous and very excited. So it's so fun.

296
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: So let's take you inside this tent now, so it's

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: a nice thing. They have heat in their food, drinks,

298
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: everything you need, and they have mats and then the

299
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: rollers for everybody getting stretched and all these things. But

300
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: we're in there hanging out, and again we haven't seen

301
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: We haven't seen Chelsea Clinton in two years because she

302
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: didn't run last year, which we didn't realize. I hope

303
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: it's out there, because I'm about to tell it. She

304
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: broke her foot. She broke her foot running but running

305
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: after one of her children, and that's why she couldn't

306
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: run the marathon last year.

307
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: I hope she doesn't mind me saying this all. Oh

308
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: my god, because this is really funny. No, because when

309
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: you stepped away, we were catching up and she did

310
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: not know that we no longer.

311
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: Worked for Good Morning America. And I had to quickly

312
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: catch her up because the last time we were together.

313
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Can story.

314
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of like, we'll see, here's what happened.

315
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: But we were already a couple. We just weren't out

316
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: the last yes. But she I think she's like, oh,

317
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: I totally thought you were together. I said, well, we

318
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: were together, we just weren't officially because we were dressed alike.

319
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Remember she made fun of us and said, y'all are

320
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: so cute it's nauseating. But anyway, she said, oh my gosh,

321
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: I can't believe that all happened and I missed it.

322
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: I guess I'm only reading. I'm only doing Google searches

323
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: on myself. I'm only worried about the bad press I'm receiving.

324
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: And I said, you know what, that's fair. That is

325
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: so fair.

326
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: She like, I don't have time to read everyone else's

327
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: bad press. And I laughed so hard. It was just

328
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: a really awesome dose of perspective. It was just perfect.

329
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: And I I was bummed you missed it, So.

330
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: Now I'm catching you up. I hope she doesn't either,

331
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: but she it was fun. It was all said in Jess.

332
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: It is great to catch up with her. And on

333
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the Jennifer Connley front, she was she's a a kind

334
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: of like she's we're in the same tribe, right, She's

335
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: just a cool These are one of the people you

336
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: meet and you're a fan of, and you and you're

337
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: just hoping that good folks. She was beyond all expectations

338
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: of how sweet and sincere and just real she was.

339
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: And because she was genuinely nervous. She was her first

340
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: and she was asking everybody little questions should I do

341
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: this or should I do that? And she's perfectly trained

342
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: and she did a good job and had a great race.

343
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: But we were standing talking to Chelsea Clinton and Jennifer Connelly, right,

344
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: the four of us, just in our own world, doing

345
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: our things. And then we're the back of the tent

346
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: and we turn around. All of a sudden there's this

347
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: huge crowd of people with cameras and they look like

348
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: assistance and all this stuff. That is what it is.

349
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: And we turn around and who's right on my shouldern

350
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: Hocle comes into the tent and we end up shooting

351
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: the ship with her in front of camera.

352
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: We're like having a mini press conference the day. That's

353
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: what it felt like.

354
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, it's Chelsea, it's Jennifer, me, you

355
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: and Governor kal All having a conversation about New.

356
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: York City's finest day. It was. It was like, this

357
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: is bizarre but kind of cool at the same time.

358
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: She was very good. Now I haven't had a chance

359
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: to spend any time with her, but she was look

360
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: she was doing her thing, and she was warm and

361
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: personable and funny and friendly. But it was just an

362
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: odd little collection of folks that are having a conversation.

363
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: We had no idea, but it absolutely we were standing.

364
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: If you ever see the video a put out or

365
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: the so funny the pictures, we look like we are

366
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: officially holding a press.

367
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: But I don't know if she wants to be seen

368
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: with us or all of us. Like it was just funny.

369
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: I was like, hm, I wonder if this is going

370
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: to see the light of day.

371
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: So just like Chelsea, she she didn't know her ages

372
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: are gonna say, you were standing next to tj Als,

373
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: let's explain.

374
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: Maybe we shouldn't include that in the press.

375
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: It was a fun moment. It was a nice moment.

376
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: So we finally do get out.

377
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: You missed me stepping on your toe.

378
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't want to include that because I

379
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: know I'm going to give you a hard time about

380
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: that for a long time. Okay, but privately, many of

381
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: the issues as I have had it. I was in

382
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: there trying to stretch out the hamstring and the it

383
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: band and the achilles and all these things, and I'm

384
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: barefoot the whole time. I didn't put my shoes on

385
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: until right the last minute. So I'm standing at barefoot

386
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: she were you trying to get a selfie?

387
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: I was getting a selfie yep.

388
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: And what happened?

389
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: And I stepped on your toe step it kicked stumped

390
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: on your toe. Sum ye with my shoes. That's a

391
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 3: good one, and that I was. Yeah, I felt really

392
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: bad about that.

393
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: So at some point during the race, I said to you, babe,

394
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: my toe is killing me. It's the only thing bothering

395
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: me right now.

396
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: And I felt horrible. I was so just all the

397
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: name of a selfie. And I actually the selfie I

398
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: got is quite funny because you look, it's in motion

399
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: and you're like in pain.

400
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: That's the selfie shows. I should put that on my story.

401
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I forgot, I forgot about but that toe, it

402
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: is hurting.

403
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.

404
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: It's sorry. I was gonna lose that tone anyway.

405
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: You're losing a several tones from the looks of your foot.

406
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: So we get out to the start, okay, and this

407
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: is all things again exciting. Now the cannons are going off.

408
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: They the elite runners go.

409
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: And play in New York.

410
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: It's just stay mood, great vibe. The only thing that

411
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: then once you start, there are two things that bring

412
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: down your mood. It makes you hate the start of

413
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: the New York City.

414
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: There are ahead the smells of the folks who did

415
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: not shower, that's one, or used deodorant slash anti persprint

416
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: before they took off. So this is at the beginning

417
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: of the race. Two folks really don't think you have

418
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: an excuse to smell. And yet number two people are

419
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 2: obsessed with getting their prs, their their personal records, and

420
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: so they will push show up. Now, some people are

421
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: kind to say, excuse me, excuse me, but there are others,

422
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: and there was one man who did it to me

423
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: and to you, who literally will take their hands on

424
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: your shoulder and push you, which is so I think

425
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: in not in the spirit of things. If you're a runner, especially,

426
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: you should understand putting. When you are running and you

427
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: are your gate, your cadence, everything matters your stride. If

428
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: someone throws you off like that so that they can

429
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: get ahead, that is so cruel because you could trip,

430
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: you could fall, you could tweak something like you did

431
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: in the last marathon, and it actually could take you

432
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: out of the race. And I just am always a

433
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: gas that there is always that person, always that other

434
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 2: fellow runner who I yelled at the guy who did

435
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: it to me, and you said you pushed back.

436
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's that simple. If you push me, I push

437
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: you back. What's the problem. Yeah, what you want to do?

438
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: You just pushed me. I just push you back. You

439
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: got a problem with me? Is it's so offensive and

440
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: the only thing more offensive are the damn smells. It

441
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. You all. I cannot I'm sorry. No, I'm

442
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: not sorry. I didn't do anything. I put it on

443
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: theodrant that morning. I don't know why you cannot, Like

444
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: you couldn't stand in a room for five minutes with

445
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: these odors without having to run out puking. It's awful.

446
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: It is. I don't know what is going on and why,

447
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: but it is hideous.

448
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 3: At the beginning, it's always the Verizon, Arizon Arizona.

449
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't understand why it smells so bad, but every

450
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: time it does, so we can talk about what Harlem

451
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: smelled like.

452
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, it's not.

453
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: Going to be it's not offensive, but it was to us,

454
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: but not in the way you're thinking.

455
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: So we get we finally get across the Arizona and

456
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: here is where the fun start. It takes us almost

457
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: two miles two miles, yeah, to get across the Arizona,

458
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: So soon as you get into or out of Staten Island,

459
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: you're essentially two miles into the race. So we make

460
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: that first left once we get into Brooklyn, and we

461
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: see the same guy every single year, and we absolutely

462
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: adore him. Be read.

463
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 2: Yes, he is one of the floor directors at that

464
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: program he used to work for and we love him.

465
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: And I mean it's so he's one of the I

466
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: love it. He dms me I think at least once

467
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: a week, and he got cute.

468
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: Pictures of us.

469
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: But he's always there with his big Viking hat and

470
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: he's always looking for us. He's in the same place

471
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: every year, so it's always fun we get to see him.

472
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: We got to see another one of our former colleagues, Ali,

473
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: who was there screaming our name, and.

474
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: She took some pictures too.

475
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: But it's you actually have reunions with people who you

476
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: haven't seen in a year along the marathon route, along

477
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: the parade route.

478
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: It's it's kind of fun. That's always special.

479
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always great to see him. And we had

480
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Sabine and for and Nikki along the route to as well,

481
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: so they met us at mile eight and miles sixteen.

482
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: They're able to text us while we're running and say

483
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: this is where we are, so they were able to see.

484
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: It's two different spots. I saw Sabine both times this time,

485
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: and not like last year I've missed her on one

486
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: of them.

487
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: You slowed way down to make sure I saw something.

488
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: Oh yes, and you and it was it was well executed.

489
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: We saw them both times, and you know it's I.

490
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: When I started out, I usually can tell how the

491
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: race is going to go.

492
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: You know.

493
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: You can you feel how strong your legs are, you

494
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: feel your energy level, and I felt like I was flying,

495
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: and I said to myself, oh yay, this is gonna

496
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: be a good race.

497
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I was the weather for you.

498
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: It was good.

499
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: It was a little windy. It was definitely the cold.

500
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: I like it was a little windy. But if I

501
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: have to say, it was pretty damn close to perfect.

502
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: It was just slightly chillier than I would prefer, which

503
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: is unusual for me to say. But I normally would

504
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: be in a tank top and the wind I couldn't

505
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: take off my coudter layer.

506
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't fifty when we started.

507
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: It was thirty nine, yeah when we first got to

508
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: the tent, and I think it ended up being like

509
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 2: forty four, but with the wind chill, it was, yeah,

510
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: it was. It was chilly, but sunny and gorgeous nice.

511
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: And I remember being around miles six seven looking over

512
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: at you, feeling great and seeing some of the great

513
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: Nike signs. They had some awesome signs out there motivating

514
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: us runners along the way with big billboards they took out,

515
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: and I remember looking over at you and thinking where

516
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: we were three weeks ago, and just all the struggles

517
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: that we've been through, not just in this training and

518
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: this racing thing that we do together, but just in

519
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: life and all the struggles of the last two years

520
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: kind of came over me and I looked at you,

521
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you remember, I just said I love you,

522
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: because I just I felt so honored that the person

523
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: who I've been through all of this with was right

524
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: by my side doing something that's really hard, and that

525
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: we were doing it together. And I just I could

526
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: get emotional now thinking about it. Like when you go

527
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: and run a race like this, I think, no matter

528
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: how many times you do it. You know how hard

529
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: it is and how hard you've worked for it, and

530
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: to have someone who's there with you. We had our

531
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: friend who we love seeing. We saw are in Chicago too,

532
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Claire Hoyt. She even said to us, you guys are

533
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 2: so lucky you get to run together. You have a

534
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: partner to do it with, because it is hard sometimes

535
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: to get motivated. It is hard to say I can

536
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: do this. But when you've got that person next to

537
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: you through life and on the running route, it makes

538
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: a difference. It does for me, and I just was

539
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: so grateful for you and just kind of reflecting on

540
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: how far we've come. Anyway, I felt this amazing wave

541
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 2: of emotion come over me and I started to cry

542
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: tears of joy, and I felt so good. I was like, man,

543
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm doing this again next year. Hell yeah, I forget

544
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: that period I put on things or the stop. I'm

545
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: doing this again next year.

546
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: I was just.

547
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 2: I really felt overwhelmed. Yeah, six or seven, we were

548
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn and it was just it was awesome.

549
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a big smile and you looked over

550
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: and said I love you. It was a sweet moment

551
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: and we were rocking and rolling and crushing this marathon. Yeah,

552
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: we got through the first half marathon and we were

553
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: on great pace. We were on pace to finish around

554
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: four hours. I mean, I don't and we were enjoying

555
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: it to the point that you know, you're having a

556
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: good time where you don't have music on, right, you're

557
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: not trying to be distracted. You're trying to take in

558
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: what's around you. And this is one of the things

559
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: about the marathon. They give us name tags New York

560
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: Rown Writers, so it says TJ your said Amy. And

561
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: sometimes being people just a lot of people recognize you

562
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: in the crowd, but folks that don't know you just

563
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: see your name and they'll just start yelling out and

564
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: they'll yell it out to them, not just say go

565
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Amy that like a group I will just start doing

566
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: a chant Amy. It's just it's cool. It's very cool,

567
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: absolutely fun. But the signs are great along the way,

568
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: and I just I want to applaud Nike, the ones

569
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: they did in Chicago and the ones here. They just

570
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: every single one of them makes you smile and you

571
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: have to be a runner almost understand them.

572
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: Yep, you know, it's it's great. The couple the one

573
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 2: that really caught my eye. That made me laugh out loud. Finally,

574
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: tourists willing to pick up their pace.

575
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: Good's so good got.

576
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: Any of New York to get that anyone who walks

577
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: the city streets of New York. I laughed so hard

578
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: when I saw that one. It was fantastic. And this

579
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: one I couldn't find it again. To make sure I

580
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: get the wording exactly right, I did look for it,

581
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: but it was something to this effect. It said, today

582
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 2: is going to be the best day of your life.

583
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: Next week.

584
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: It's brilliant.

585
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: And then and then this is like if you and

586
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: this is, oh my gosh, I get this one. If

587
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 2: you are struggling and you want to quit, And believe me,

588
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: there are plenty of times where your mind is telling

589
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 2: you why the hell you're doing this? Just stop running.

590
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: This sign you didn't run this far to run this far?

591
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: And I thought that was really cool. And there was

592
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: another one something you have to hate running a little

593
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: to love running, like basically, you have to struggle and

594
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: then you understand why you love it.

595
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: If that makes any sense, anyone, perfect sense.

596
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: So here we go all the issues we think we're

597
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: going to have. I'm worried about the Achilles the IT band.

598
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: We've both had little respiratory issues lately. We were worried

599
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: about how our bodies were going to hold up. After

600
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: running the marathon in Chicago, we still.

601
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: Did twenty one mile back from Spain.

602
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: We just came back, so a little jet lag. We're

603
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: adjusting to a whole bunch of stuff. So all these

604
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: things we think are going to be our problem. And

605
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 1: several miles in, you know what our biggest problem was

606
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: are bladders. We run all the time, we don't have

607
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: to stop and use the bathroom. Ever. I've been running

608
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: with you NonStop for four years. I remember the one

609
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: time on the West Side Highway you had to go

610
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom. Four years yep. For whatever reason,

611
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: I looked over at you said, baby.

612
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: My bladder is killing me this problem and I said,

613
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, so it's fine.

614
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: So we waited, I think it was like mile nine

615
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: or so, and we found like the most convenient porta potties.

616
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: We were in and back out on the on the

617
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: road I think in less than thirty seconds less.

618
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: But we used porta potties that weren't for the runners.

619
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: They were for uh spectators's spectators. So we dipped under

620
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: kind of a little caution tape and we used it

621
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: and nobody was there. It worked out. But after that,

622
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: after we used.

623
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: The restaurant concepts all amazing, this.

624
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: Is we're about to crush the hell out of this.

625
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: And we were in fact, you know, I we saw

626
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: Sabine and Nikki mile sixteen, mile seventeen, mile eighteen, that's

627
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: right around mile eighteen. I started to go h because

628
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: my stomach that is always my issue where I get

629
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: this nausea. And I started to feel it and I said,

630
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: you know what, power through. It's going to be okay.

631
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: It's going to be okay. By the time we got

632
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: into the Bronx, I started I started to throw up.

633
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: And the thing is last last go around.

634
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: This happened to me once and it was awful and gutting,

635
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: and I had to sit out this time.

636
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 3: Oh my, I was crying.

637
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 2: I was in tears of pain and frustration. I ended

638
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: up having to vomit basically every mile from mile twenty

639
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: to mile twenty five.

640
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: And that is the truth and is the truth.

641
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: It was, and I felt, you know what, I felt

642
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: so bad. I said, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Babe,

643
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: and he was the sweetest. He was rubbing my back,

644
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: he was keeping people away from me because everyone wants

645
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: to help. But he knew I just needed to keep

646
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: throwing up, and then I would throw up, you know

647
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: how it is.

648
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: When you do, you feel better.

649
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: So then I could walk a little, then I could

650
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: start running, and then sure enough it would come up again.

651
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: And so I by the time at mile twenty five,

652
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: I was so depleted. When you throw up that many

653
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: times and then you got to keep running it that

654
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: that was the toughest five mile stretch of my life.

655
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: And you were so kind and so patient, and.

656
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: So I did what I was supposed to do. But

657
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: also you you just ended a marathon because of my

658
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. What am I gonna do? Babe? Good

659
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: luck with that going up. I'll see you back at home.

660
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: So I do. I do feel proud of this. After

661
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: the last puke, why it wasn't the last one, but

662
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: the last one on the race, the last one on

663
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: the race.

664
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: Because we both ended up puking. But more on that later.

665
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: Mile twenty five to mile twenty six point two, we

666
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: did not stop, and we actually picked up the pace

667
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: and we finished strong. We really did, and I that

668
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: was important I think with the struggle. So that last mile,

669
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: I was like, hell if I'm going to like stop,

670
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: we are getting through this. And we picked up the

671
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: pace and we crossed that finish line and then I

672
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: went straight in for the tent and said, can I

673
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: have a peek bag?

674
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Look, it was a weird I don't know what goes

675
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: on with your either. I think if you find a

676
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: way to master that and figure that out. I always

677
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: say I did not take a drink of before mile

678
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: twenty four. I think it was I don't. I keep

679
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: passing the water stations because I don't want that on

680
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: my stomach.

681
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: Are you not thirsty? Do you not get drunk?

682
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I'm so thirsty that once you take

683
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: that first sip, you just want to go, go, go, go,

684
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: keep going. I just don't want so.

685
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: You feel dehydrated and you just keep going.

686
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: Well, I feel thirsty, but I don't feel like my

687
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: body is shutting down because of it.

688
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I think my I'm frustrated because and

689
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: if anyone out there has any kind of remedy, I

690
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: have tried different things, I've gone online, But if someone

691
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: has a tried and true because it's called I think

692
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: it's called runner's stomach, and it isn't that uncommon. But

693
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: I went from bad to worst from last year to

694
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: this year, and I was trying new things and trying

695
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: different things on these long training runs and I cannot

696
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: figure out. And I'm fine up until mile twenty and

697
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: then I you know, that's when you hit the wall.

698
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: My dad was explaining to me, he's a food scientist.

699
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: He was just saying, ames, that's when your body is

700
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: robbed of glycogen. That's where all your reserves are gone.

701
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: And the truth is everyone handles it differently, and based

702
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: on what you've been doing and how you've been treating

703
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 2: your body, any little difference can make a huge difference

704
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: come race day. And that's why they call it the wall.

705
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Everyone who's a marathon or nos. Mile twenty is when

706
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: you hit the wall. But my first marathon never happened,

707
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: my second marathon never happened. It's just happened in the

708
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 2: last two. And I wonder if it's just all the training.

709
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: I wonder if I do need to take a beat.

710
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: I know people who do marathons every other year, and

711
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: I know some people who can do four marathons in

712
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: a row.

713
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: And be fine.

714
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's just it's an individual thing. But it

715
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: was so excruciating. I went from saying, I'm going to

716
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: do this again. I can't wait. This is the most

717
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: amazing day of my life. Too, I'm never doing this again.

718
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 2: Hell no, why am I putting my body through this?

719
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: And you and I? I don't know what happened, but

720
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: once we got into that ten both of us kind

721
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: of fell apart.

722
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: Well, you know what my problem was was that when

723
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: we started walking, you wanted to walk through a water station. Yeah,

724
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: and so I said, okay, we're slowing down, only got

725
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: two miles left. I'll take a hit of gatorade. I

726
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: took a hit, took a second cup. So we get

727
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: to the next water station. Now I'm thirsty it. Now

728
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm I take more gatory takes. So now I got

729
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: something sitting on my stomach I had not had. So

730
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: we finish our race. So we crossed that finish line

731
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: and they have a tint set up for us, and

732
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: we going. I don't think you threw up in there,

733
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: but we sat down.

734
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: You did, okay, I did once, and then we grabbed

735
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: another bag to go.

736
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 3: Thank God.

737
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: But in that tent, you're sitting there by yourself, and

738
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: think again, it's a a VIP runner tent that they

739
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: have for the folks. And we were the only ones

740
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: in there because most of the folks we started with

741
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: were gone by now.

742
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: They had already crossed the ventor's line well before us.

743
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: They didn't have our problems. But we sat down in there,

744
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: and I mean I put that big blanket thing over

745
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: that they give us the cover ups. I slumped down

746
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: in that chair, and you would have thought I was dead.

747
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: You said I could go to sleep right now, and

748
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: I think you kind of did dose.

749
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: I think I did.

750
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: And then and then you have the longest walk ever park.

751
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: We went the wrong way ended up. I was like,

752
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: that was anything but a walk in the park.

753
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: I threw up so along the way. So it has

754
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: a long walk out of the park, and you got

755
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: this sea of runners trying to move out, all in

756
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: these orange things. It looks like the walking day.

757
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: So people are like walking as if yeah they can

758
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: barely walk. You look like you your legs don't function,

759
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: your body doesn't function. It's actually hilarious.

760
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: So all was a making a way out, but we

761
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: keep having to stop to the side on the left

762
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: or the right so you can do your vomit thing.

763
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: So we finally get out of the park and we

764
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: had this brilliant idea that we would take the subway.

765
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: So seventy second Street at Central Park West. I don't

766
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: know how many stops that is, but it's the sea training.

767
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: We have to go all the way downtown where we live.

768
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many stops that is. It was

769
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: a while, but it p's a lot of stops. So

770
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: she has already had the problem she's having. I now

771
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: have all this stuff sitting on my stomach, and we're

772
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna get on a train that does stops and start stop, start,

773
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: stop start. Okay, So we get on this train and

774
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: we actually sit down and I put my head on

775
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: her right. I am going to sleep on rope in

776
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: the train, and she has this vomit bag and she said,

777
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: I got I gotta I can't hold it. I gotta

778
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: get up. So she gets up on the train, goes

779
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: over to the corner with the vomit bag, and I

780
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: just see her go down with her back to everybody,

781
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: with this big orange thing over her. It looks like

782
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: she's Elvis on stage and they just put the thing

783
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: over and she I don't know what she's doing, but

784
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: her bag. I see her body gyrating and it's just

785
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: a mess. But she comes back over and the bag

786
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: is empty.

787
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: Because because I had nothing left inside of me, I

788
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: had thrown up I don't know ten times at that point.

789
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: So then you said, actually, babe.

790
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: No oh if that didn't happen yet, Okay, we just

791
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: chilled again. So we're just riding maybe a couple stops,

792
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: and I calmly say, what to you?

793
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 3: Can I have that vomit bag?

794
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: I was so chill, I didn't want to call it

795
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: the panic.

796
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: He went over to the corner exactly where the corner

797
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: and he then.

798
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I did not dry heave. I damn near build up

799
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: this bag can It was absolutely grow and the bags

800
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: are clear. These are bags that you get on the airplane.

801
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: You know, these are clear bag digusting. So we get

802
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: out of the train and carrying a warm pile of

803
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: fresh vomit all the train with.

804
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: Me, and I wasn't done yet, so.

805
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: I immediately say, hevee, I got to get to a

806
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: trash can and get this nasty ass thing out of

807
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: my hand. So we go over into a trash can

808
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna go up the escalator to leave,

809
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: and she said, WHOA, not so fast DJ. She goes

810
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: over and tries to are vomiting in the same trash

811
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: band that I was. I just dumped my vomiting. But no, no, no, no,

812
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: that's not good enough for her. She said, you know what,

813
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work. So she kneels down behind the

814
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: trash can at the Fulton Subway station in New York

815
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: City and just lets it rip again.

816
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: It's just a small amount. I felt so bad. There's

817
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: nothing I could do.

818
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: And I looked We're like, wow, this has been a

819
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: hell of a day.

820
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 3: Hey, I've never had a post race situation like that.

821
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, we are poster children for why

822
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: people should never run a marathon.

823
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: If someone had followed us with video, I mean it,

824
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: you would be It was like a comedy. It was.

825
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: It was what is happening?

826
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: You're like a dog, like marking your vomit territory all over.

827
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: Man lapped a part of me all every round, I mean,

828
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: along the racetrack in trash cans like I mean, I

829
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: have my DNA all three route Manhattan, so.

830
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: But that was the end of it, right, that was

831
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: our last ups situation. So we we get home and

832
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Sabine and Nikki were waiting for us. We walk in

833
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: and they're like, what is wrong with you? Too? Look

834
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: like the Walking Dead? You know?

835
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: It's so funny, too like and the only thing I wanted.

836
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: It's funny when you're dying of thirst. And I knew

837
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't drink it too fast. We had to like

838
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: slowly drink it so our bodies could take in the fluids.

839
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 2: All I wanted was a diet coke. That was the

840
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 2: best diet coke on ice I've ever had in my life.

841
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: It's funny what you crave when you're so thirsty, and

842
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.

843
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: That's all I want. And all I wanted was a

844
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: cranberry cranberry.

845
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: Spritzer.

846
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, so bougie, whatever, do you want a sprig

847
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: of rosemary with that too?

848
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: It would be nice. I just ran twenty six point two.

849
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: You want to give me a break. I can't have

850
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: some rosemary. I didn't earn some rosemary. If I didn't,

851
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: or what the hell I was drinking that the diet

852
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: coke and Gator eight and I was worried my stomach

853
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: was going to act up again. But everything stayed down

854
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: after that. And the folks want we talked that we

855
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: laugh and we could joke, and but this, it actually

856
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: is serious and it's dangerous. It is and it is

857
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: tough to do, to run a marathon like that. And

858
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: I I asked you if you got on the scale,

859
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: But I'm all and when we do long runs, I'm

860
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: always curious to get on the scale to see how

861
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: much weight you lose, water weight you lose. I left

862
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: going to that marathon weighing one hundred sixty seven hundred

863
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: and sixty eight pounds. I was one hundred and fifty

864
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: five pounds. We get back.

865
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's UNBLI And you know what, that's not shocking.

866
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: That's hundred how much it was shot back and you're

867
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: sweating it out and you have nothing left. And it's

868
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: so funny. You asked me this morning if I did that.

869
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: I was like, I meant too, and I because I

870
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 2: was like, ooh, I wonder how much it was like

871
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: having a week of stomach flew in one day, you know,

872
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: And so I thought, let's see, but I forgot but

873
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 2: I can tell you my jeans are a lot looser

874
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: this morning.

875
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 3: That is the truth.

876
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I got like an extra engine here.

877
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: It'll soon fill right back up, don't you worry.

878
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 3: But it was.

879
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: That's how serious it was, for sure. And oh, you

880
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: forgot to mention this was hilarious along the route. This

881
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: was your favorite part. I think someone offered you a

882
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: cold beer and you took it.

883
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: I didn't. You asked me if I want.

884
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: I forgot.

885
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: I didn't drink crazy.

886
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I forgot, I said, I didn't drink any At a

887
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: water station there. I can't remember the first one, the

888
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: early one. I was in a good mood and having

889
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: fun and grabbed a beer just for giggles. And it's

890
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: not a full beer, it's a little cup, but still

891
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: it's a nice dose. That last couple of miles there

892
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: was somebody out there and they were offering a beer.

893
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,959
Speaker 1: I actually responded, is it cold, because it's trim.

894
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: When you're running and you're hot, all you want is

895
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: a cold drink and everything they give you is warm,

896
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: and your water bottle at that point is all room temperature.

897
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 3: So he asked, is it cold? I did, and they

898
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: said yes, it is.

899
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: And what they had a keg whoever you all are,

900
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. It was a keg on the last

901
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: four or something miles a keg of beer. It was

902
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: ice cold. It was I wanted to go back.

903
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: You were like, that was the best beer I've ever

904
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: had on the race. Yeah, it was very that was fantastic.

905
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: And then we had a we had a little It

906
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 2: was a small after party we had planned and it

907
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: was the last thing we wanted to do because we

908
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: were so exhausted. But we got up and we were

909
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: able to celebrate with friends and family and it was

910
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 2: nice and I'm glad we did it because what we

911
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: wanted to do was crill up and fetal position, and.

912
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: We did for a little while.

913
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: I did.

914
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: For a little while I did.

915
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: I was like, babe, we kind of have to go. Okay,

916
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: we have to go.

917
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: Being was texting, Hey, are you coming to your party?

918
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: We were yeah, an hour and a half lay to

919
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: our party.

920
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: So look, I appreciate this experience even more because of

921
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: what happened in Chicago, and next week we'll appreciate the

922
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: New York City experiment or experience even more once we

923
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: are a little distance from it. But it was that's

924
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: no small thing and we got to do this together.

925
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: And just the past month we've had together doing just

926
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: the running and everything that came with it and the injury.

927
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: And you've been watching me trying to get this together

928
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: for months now, and what you did in Chicago was

929
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: a sacrifice, and what.

930
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 3: You did yesterday was a sacrifice for your time.

931
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: Finished. Three?

932
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: Can I also say, you know what, Sometimes partners don't

933
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: say the right thing to one another, but you said

934
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: the perfect thing to me when I was feeling frustrated

935
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: and sad and sick and mad at myself and feeling

936
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: bad about ruining our time because we were once again.

937
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: Set to have a pr I. You looked at me

938
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 3: and you said.

939
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 2: Babe, it's okay, It's just that time doesn't matter, and

940
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: you said you have nothing to prove. And when you

941
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: said that to me, I remember feeling my shoulders drop

942
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 2: and the weight of the expectation and the guilt and

943
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: the pressure I was putting on myself just go away.

944
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: And that helped me more than you could ever know.

945
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: So thank you for you said the exact right thing

946
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 2: to me at the right moment.

947
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's usually not the case.

948
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: Well, I applaud what you said.

949
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: It was it gave me comfort and it it motivated

950
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: me actually to get up and do it and not

951
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: to say it has to be perfect or it has

952
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: to be at this time, and that I can stop

953
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: again and if I have to, And that just took

954
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: off the pressure away and it let me finish the race.

955
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: Before we leave here, we're gonna wrap. We would like

956
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: to make a plea to non runners, and we want

957
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: to make this plea if you see people out there running,

958
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: whether it's they're doing training runs or an official race,

959
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: we implore you to listen to this because we had

960
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: a couple of incidents yesterday. One of them really infuriated

961
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: me and it didn't even affect me. But you're running

962
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: the marathon and there are spectators on both sides, and

963
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: sometimes people try to cross the street where the race

964
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: is happening, and usually it looks like a game of Frogger, right,

965
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: because they know they're trying to get out of the

966
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: way and trying to dodge the runners and stay out

967
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: of the way and trying to run across. And that's fine,

968
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: but then you get some other folks. I can't remember

969
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: what mile it was, but you know, I got pissed.

970
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: There was a guy walking across the street as if

971
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: he was holier than thou and nothing that fifty thousand

972
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: people were doing running marathon trumped him just walking across.

973
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: The street because he strolled with his hands in his

974
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: pocket as if he had not a care in the world,

975
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: and people had to navigate around him, and that was frustrating.

976
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: He ended up not causing any problems. I mean, you

977
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: can pick moments, and I understand sometimes you have to

978
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 2: cross the street.

979
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 3: I get that.

980
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: But we had something that happened at mile twenty one,

981
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: and you know, we were I know, people can't understand

982
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 2: where you are physically and mentally at that point. But

983
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: no one's doing well. I mean, very few people are there.

984
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 2: It's a struggle. You've been doing this for six months.

985
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 2: You're on the last leg. And there was a woman

986
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: who crossed the street in the same fashion slowly. We

987
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: were all bunched up in Central Park. This was not

988
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: a wide area where there were a lot of spaces,

989
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: and she just and she looked me right in the

990
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 2: eye and slammed right into me, and she she knocked

991
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: me off my feet. I had to fall and I

992
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: fell into TJ. Then he fell and she just slowly

993
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: kept on going, and you know it, the anger I

994
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 2: felt I'm not proud of. But it's just that could

995
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: have taken us out of the race. We we tripped,

996
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 2: you could have tweaked something, I could have tweaked something,

997
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: and she didn't care, And I just thought, why are

998
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: you even out here? Like this was definitely Central Park,

999
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: But I don't think she had anything to do with

1000
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: the race.

1001
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: And she had no care about what she was doing

1002
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: and what we anybody else was going through. So again,

1003
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: people have to cross the street. We see family sometimes.

1004
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 3: With kids, and they're sculling across just.

1005
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: Trying to get out of the way. That's fine. It

1006
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: was just bizarre that this woman took that, and given

1007
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: our recent experience in Chicago, I did not finish Chicago

1008
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: because of this exact thing that somebody was inconsiderate, didn't

1009
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: get out of the way, ran into somebody, tweaked by

1010
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: it band. But this is that It's that serious. So

1011
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: when that happened in that moment, we both immediately just

1012
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: freaked out, like, holy crap, am I okay, let me

1013
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: feel we take a body inventory because we're a mile

1014
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two again and you're really telling me

1015
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: this woman is gonna cost us this race again. So

1016
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: we encourage folks and we do it. We do a

1017
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of training runs, and oftentimes people don't think it's

1018
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: a big deal, or people put so much and for

1019
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: some people they're won and done. This is a lifelong

1020
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: dream to do this and to just break stride can't

1021
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: impact you in a way that can cause you to

1022
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: end your day, to injure yourself. Also, it just messes

1023
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: with you mentally. Yeah, and I know everybody else looks

1024
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: it's just running. What's the big deal. Just if you

1025
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: can't give folks a break who go through and putting

1026
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: themselves through that much, just try to be a little

1027
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: considerate when you see it. I know we're crazy runners,

1028
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: know we all got the same rights to the same sidewalk.

1029
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 3: But please, just it's hard, don't make it harder. That's

1030
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 3: all we ask.

1031
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: All we ask. So are you retiring because you have

1032
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: you have suggested you are going to retire from marathon.

1033
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: Well, I am absolutely going to do half marathons from

1034
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: here on out, and I would like to take a

1035
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: year break from marathons and maybe revisit it in twenty

1036
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 2: twenty five.

1037
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: All Right, Okay, I am now declaring for the New

1038

Speaker 3: I can't wait to cheer you one.

1040
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run it. I'm gonna run, I won't and

1041
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: as long as my body holds up, I will run

1042
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,919
