I've had one of 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: the guys from the show, de Murphy, on the show before. 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: I'll link his episode in the show notes here, but. 28 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: I had him on the show before I knew I 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: was coming to town, and so I was literally sitting 30 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: in I believe, the Salt Lake City Airport the other 31 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: day when I was at this moment where I was like, 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: they record three times a week, They're definitely going to 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: be recording while I'm in town. I'm gonna shoot my 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: shot and see if I can come in on part 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: of an episode. And so I messaged d he welcomed 36 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: me with open arms to the show. I totally freaked out. 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: I texted my friend Dara, who introduced me to group 38 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: chat years ago, and was like, oh my god, you 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: are going to die. 40 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: I'm going on group Chat. 41 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: I went on group Chat and we talked about health 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: and wellness and just me and you know, if you 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: should or shouldn't invest in a pel time, like so 44 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: much good stuff and they are just hilarious guys. I 45 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: felt so grateful to have the opportunity to go there, 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: and the takeaway and why I'm telling you all this 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: for this week's Five Minute Friday is that that was 48 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: a total As I said before, the phrase shoot your 49 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: shot moment. I thought when I made that ask, I 50 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: was like, what's the worst that's going to happen? And 51 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: the worst that could happen was that he was like. 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: Eh, maybe not. 53 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: If you don't make those big asks, if you don't 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: go for what you want, then you're not going to 55 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: get what you want. My question for you is why 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: are you playing things so safe? What is it that 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: you're scared of? And what is it that you really 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: want to go after that you're holding yourself back from. 59 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: I kind of rushed to the prompt on this one. 60 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: The prompt obviously from this story. What is one big 61 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: thing that you want that you have been kind of 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: timid on. What is one big thing that you could 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: go after right now this weekend that you've been stallin on, 64 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: and why are you in stalling on it? 65 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 2: Go for it? 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: I will say this in the meeting this morning, I 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: did a crowd sourcing on the highlights of the week 68 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: segment of Five Minute Friday, and it seems as though 69 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: these highlights of the week may be better served if 70 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: only served in the newsletter. It sounds as though the 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: hurdlers don't really love the highlights of the week, but 72 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: they love that they love the stories of five Minute Friday. 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to skip highlights of the week in this 74 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday because of that feedback from this morning. 75 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: But I would love more feedback because it helps me 76 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: bring you content that you really like. So shoot me 77 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: a DM a lot. How do you DM me about 78 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: the next thing I'm going to talk to you about 79 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: right now?

I'm living in New York 121 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: and I love the podcast. I'm training for my first 122 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: marathon and I'm wondering if you have any advice on 123 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 3: dealing with the loneliness that comes with marathon training. I 124 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 3: know it's a really rewarding opportunity cost as you've discussed, 125 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: but sometimes I struggle with being that person who misses 126 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 3: out or has to say no. None of my immediate 127 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: friends are runners, and sometimes they don't really understand why 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: I can't do a night out. So any tips are appreciated. 129 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Oh Amy, I know this feeling very well. Yes, 130 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: it can definitely get a little bit lonely. What I 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: will say, You're living in New York City, and the 132 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: great thing about New York City is that there is 133 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: a really big running community. So if you're not yet 134 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: involved in a local run club. I would certainly encourage 135 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: you to check out the opportunities and the options that 136 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: are within the New York area and also find a 137 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: way outside of seeking out a run group to commiserate 138 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: with and to share these feelings with, to different types 139 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: of plans that maybe you weren't making before. So whereas 140 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: maybe beforehand you wouldn't have asked a friend to get 141 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: together for dinner at like six o'clock usually on a Friday, 142 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: and you might be like, hey, let's go to dinner 143 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: at eight. Well, now that's not something that you're really 144 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: interested in. See if you can find some friends that 145 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: are willing to kind of cater to this new shtick 146 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: that you have going on and reiterate to them that 147 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: it's really important to you that you want to make 148 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: time for them. You want to keep these relationships, but 149 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: you also have this big goal and you would really 150 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: appreciate their help in supporting you as you go after 151 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: this goal. Again, that really important piece to that puzzle 152 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: right there, is explaining to the people that you care 153 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: about and that care about you that this thing is 154 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: really important to you, but so are they, and that yes, 155 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: if you figure out the right balance, there is ways 156 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: to incorporate both. Of course, if you're looking for a 157 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: little bit more community, you know we got you. Head 158 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: on over to the Super Secret Hurdler's Facebook group on 159 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: Facebook and we will be there to cheer you on 160 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: with open arms.
