1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: This morning, fifty thousand people hit the streets of the

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: five boroughs of New York for the most exciting, the

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: most thrilling, the most prestigious marathon in the world, the

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: New York City Marathon, And for the first time in years,

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Amy Robot and TJ Holmes were not among the runners,

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: and it caused more of a difficult morning than we anticipated.

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: And with that, everybody, welcome to this fomo edition of

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ. We joke about it and pomos thrown

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: around on social media. I really wasn't okay this morning

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: to not be running the New York City Marathon, knowing

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: that it was going on, and it actually, as of

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: this recording, is still going on.

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh it's tough. It's very tough. And look, we are

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: so excited for everyone running that race.

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: It is magical.

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: There is no day quite like it in this city

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: for sure, and I would argue around the world this

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: is such an incredible race, not just because of the

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: phenomenal trek where it takes you over the bridges and

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: through all five boroughs, but the people who come out

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: to celebrate one another. It's just a beautiful, cohesive, inclusive,

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: amazing day that we hope to be a part of

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: as often as possible, but this year.

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: It was impossible.

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: To explaining, and we talked a little bit about why

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: we're not running. But the city. It's the It's a

27
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: rare moment in New York City where the entire city

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: comes together to route on a diverse group of people,

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter where you're from, what your background is,

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: or people from all over the world obviously all different backgrounds,

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: and the entire city it's a million they estimate every year, right,

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: they come out in the streets at least, yes, that

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: and you know this world. Some neighborhoods you go through

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: you can barely even run down the street because it's

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: so packed with people cheering you on. Oh I say

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: that way. The city gives you a collective hug on

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: that day like nothing else I've experienced in this city.

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I love it.

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: There are neighborhoods in Brooklyn that I want to move

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: to because they have the most fun. These neighborhood parties

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: along their brownstones where you're running and people have their

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: red solo cups with whatever beverage they want inside and

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: they are cheering you on. There's music playing there are

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: bands on the corner. It is amazing. And I always

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: thought if I didn't run that, somehow I'd end up

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: at one of those places.

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: But I think it's it feels.

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: It feels very sad to not be running it. And

49
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm so just in awe of anyone who takes on

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: that challenge and runs twenty six point two miles. It

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: is the toughest thing I've ever done, and yet it's

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: the most alive I've ever felt.

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: And that's why on a day like today, when you

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: know this is going on, Look, it's not like any

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: other marathon in the world. If something happened and we

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: signed up and weren't able to make it, yeah, that's

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: a disappointment. But this is a different This is New

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: York City. This is our home, this is our hometown,

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: this is where we have participated for years and years

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: and again. To be sitting here now and not being

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: a part of it, and you're able to say it

62
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: like I want to go and root them on and

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: cheer them on. I don't know if maybe you noticed

64
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: this morning, I had a brief moment that I put

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: on for the local coverage of it before it started

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: turned off. We have not had them. I always have

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: the TV's on, all of them, got them going. Did

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: not have a single bit of coverage that was intentional. Like,

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: it sucks that bad. I don't want to hear about it.

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to see I don't want to know

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: who ran. I don't want to see a medal. I

72
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: don't want to see your Instagram posts. Right, that's just me.

73
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at anybody else, but I am absolutely

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: just torn to not be out there this year.

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I and I hear you because I feel

76
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: the same way. But I do think that there are

77
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: lessons to be learned, and listening to your body is

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: among them, and we are now getting to ages where look,

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: I am grateful to be as healthy as I am

80
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: given all of my challenges throughout the years, but even

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: knowing people and loving people who have.

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: Back issues, knee issues, hip issues, issues, period where your body, yes,

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 4: starts to break down and running is not a is

84
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: not a sport for an older generation of folks Now

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: every marathon I'm always amazed where I see people in

86
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: their seventies, eighties, nineties running marathons.

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: Slowly but doing it.

88
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: Have older runner My dad ran Berlin at sixty eight.

89
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm so amazed. And the hope is that we can

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: get to that and be able to enjoy our bodies

91
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: and see what they can do for as long as possible.

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: But sometimes that means sitting it out a year, and

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: that's what this year has become.

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess two things kept us out. Illness

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: and injury. Illness for you, injury for me, voluntary for you,

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: maybe not voluntary for me. We will get into and explain.

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: But we hopped on and talking here because it goes

98
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: in line with our latest article with Yahoo. It was

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: just posted, that was just put up and which we'll

100
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: say it this, We'll put it this way. This is

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: what the headline. We didn't know our producer was gonna

102
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: write this headline, no writer, but this is the way

103
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: she put it. And I quote the new headline in

104
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: our latest Yahoo article is this, She's fifty two, he's

105
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: forty eight. They train for marathons through rain, shine and injuries.

106
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Now these running freaks ask are we doing this right?

107
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: And that's the headline.

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: Do they have to reiterate the fact that I'm four

109
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: years older than you?

110
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Um, you better be glad. This was written after my birthday.

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: That could have staid, she's fifty two, he's forty seven, So.

112
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: There's the bright side. But I'm kidding. I don't mind.

113
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: We make jokes about it all the time.

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: But still to the point, let's talk about that for

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: a second. Fifty two. How many people out there fifty two? Hey,

116
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: start training for a marathon? See if you count, how

117
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: many at fifty two are going to even attempt such

118
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: a thing. Look running as well, But even to think

119
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: that someone at fifty two is physically capable should be applauded.

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: And no, it's not a negative thing. You use some

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: clue who I know you are, but there was some celebrity,

122
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: it was a woman. It's not a negative thing. It's

123
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: like you should say congratulations that you've made it this

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: far and you are this healthy. You should never ever

125
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: look at your age as a negative.

126
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: I look at it that clearly. And look, I ran

127
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: my first marathon at the age of forty six. So

128
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: I always want to tell women and men of any

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: age it is never too late. Obviously you have to

130
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 2: listen to your body when you have injuries. But short

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: of that, we limit ourselves. I think we all do it.

132
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: I certainly did I loved running always, had never pushed

133
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: myself past a ten k and hadn't done a ten

134
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: k in a really long time. And it wasn't until

135
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: I had cancer and someone suggested, Hey, would you be

136
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: willing to run a half marathon? And even then I balked.

137
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: Even then I only agreed to do half of the

138
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: half marathon. And it wasn't until I started recognizing, Wait,

139
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm stronger than I think. My body is capable of

140
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: doing things I didn't think it could do, and I

141
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: just would. I would challenge anyone listening who thinks they

142
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: couldn't or can't, because I was one of those people.

143
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: I used to say all the time there's no way

144
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: I could ever And the end of that was run

145
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: a marathon one hundred percent.

146
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Couldn't or can versus have a desire. That's all the

147
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: two different things. I mean, it's a lot just and mentally,

148
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to run a half marathon. Who wants

149
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: to do that? What nut would go through that to

150
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: run a marathon? And god a marathon. So there's a

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: certain segment of the population that just this ain't their thing,

152
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't mine, got the bug now, can't let it go.

153
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm in tears because I'm missing a mark.

154
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: I think the point being is that yes, agreed and

155
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: running like my youngest can hates running, and I get that.

156
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: That is the thing for a lot of folks.

157
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: But whatever it is that you love that physically challenges you,

158
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 2: take it to the next level.

159
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: And I just like, at any.

160
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Age, if you're already doing it.

161
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: Correct because I just I didn't think I could and

162
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: I felt safe and I was like, you know what,

163
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm good. And it wasn't until my world got rocked

164
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: with my unsafeness, with feeling unhealthy, that I started saying,

165
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what could I can see what my

166
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: body failed at. I can see where I went wrong,

167
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: I can see where things unraveled. But what if I

168
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: could put it back together? And what if I could

169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: make myself stronger and better? And honestly, it was in

170
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: a challenge to myself to be healthier that I thought,

171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: let's push my body to see what I'm capable of

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: and go past those fears.

173
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: Because truly, for me, yes, I.

174
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Love running, but I didn't want to run a marathon,

175
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: mostly because I was scared to I was scared to try.

176
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: I was scared to fail.

177
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: And I actually made my self believe that I wasn't

178
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: able to run one, that I just wasn't strong enough.

179
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: That's fair. I think everybody who runs a marathon, what

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: mile is it that that thing creeps into your mind

181
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: you actually don't think you can finish the damn thing.

182
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: It's usually around mile twenty.

183
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well after mile twenty, that's when that's when things

184
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: start to get a little hairy, right around twenty.

185
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: And that happens for everybody because in most seen but

186
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: in most training runs, this is a mental thing as well.

187
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: You know you have run twenty miles, usually is your

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: longest training run. Some people don't even do that. But

189
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: once you start getting into those numbers, like I'm doing

190
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: something I've never done before.

191
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Carry yes, scary and exciting, it.

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Is my first one. I remember mile twenty. I got

193
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: re energized because wow, I have never run this long before.

194
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: So every step I took after mile twenty was another victory,

195
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: another victory, and that carried me on the first one,

196
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: not the second and third when it was a different situation.

197
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: But that really did carry me thinking I've never done

198
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: this before. So to your point, whether you decide to

199
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: do that today, or you decide to do it at

200
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: mile or what it happens to you at mile twenty.

201
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: It does happen, this moment hits you that Wow, I

202
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: am capable of more than I ever thought I was,

203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: and that is intoxicateble.

204
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: I remember being with you on the longest run you

205
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: had ever done, which was eight miles and this was

206
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: several years ago, and the joy that you had, the

207
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: pride that you felt that you did something you didn't

208
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: think you either wanted to do or could do.

209
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't know what if it was either or both.

210
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Oh it was at the end of eight miles. I

211
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: could have run another ten, So to know what I'm

212
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: capable of, like, oh, my body can handle this, Oh

213
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: my mind can handle Oh it was I was done.

214
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: I was hooked. It was over after that. And now

215
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with you. I am actually in the

216
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: middle of at least a minimum two week break from running.

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Shit that I haven't mindful done that in five years.

218
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: It's painful, gone on two weeks. I just have not

219
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: and I have to for I don't have to, but

220
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: for injury reasons. And look some of the questions and

221
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: again you all please check out the article. It's on

222
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Yahoo dot com and the life section. Yes, right now

223
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: and ask game Me and TJ. You can find it

224
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: there now. But we got to bounce some of our routine,

225
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: some of what we do off of a guy who

226
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: is a big time runner, someone we've run with over

227
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: the past several years, Roberto. But we went through several

228
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: things asking him are we doing this right? And we

229
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: went through several questions with him. Is it good to

230
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: have a friend that you run with? Is it good

231
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: to have schedule flexibility, the food, how you fuel and whatnot.

232
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a surprise that people here that

233
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: running with someone and having that person. Excuse me, you

234
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: always say that being accountable to someone is a big thing.

235
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: It's almost a must when you're starting to run. I

236
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: feel it's just it. It keeps you in the game.

237
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 2: Otherwise running is tough enough with like, I would just

238
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: say physically and mentally that if you can make an

239
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: excuse you well to void a run. But if you

240
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: make a date with a friend or a partner or whomever,

241
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: and you are held accountable, you will go and you

242
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: will show up.

243
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: And here's the deal, I guarantee you won't regret it.

244
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Never fails. But to the other point about a buddy

245
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: as well, that buddy doesn't have to live down the

246
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: street in the same town. You can be held accountable

247
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: with all the apps now and whatnot. Strava. Hey, you

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: can see somebody across the country if they did their

249
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: run today like they were supposed to me.

250
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: It's so funny.

251
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: So my oldest has just recently gotten into running, despite

252
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: years of me trying to get her too, she finally

253
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: on her own decided to start. She's been sending me

254
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: pictures every day of her runs, but today she was like, hey, mom,

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: I got really fun kudos from Pop, my dad and

256
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: my cousin. And she was excited because when she runs,

257
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: she's on the Strava community. Other people, my dad who's

258
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: in Georgia and Tatum, who is in California, were cheering

259
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: her on and it made her feel excited and happy,

260
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: and it fuels your desire to run because you get

261
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: at a boys basically from people who you are in

262
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: little running circles with. And so yes, my dad's usually

263
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: the first person to give me a it's a kudos

264
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: on Strava, where you get literally.

265
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: A thumbs up it's almost like social media for runners.

266
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Yes, and you basically are just high fiving one another,

267
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: which I think is so cool. And when I see

268
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: on Strava that my cousin Nick has run, or that

269
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: my dad went for a run, or that my cousin tATu,

270
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: it motivates me to run. These are all really fun

271
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: tools to have a community that you don't have to

272
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: live with or nearby.

273
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Yes, it is social media. It's like likes, but these

274
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: are for different reasons, and these are ones you actually

275
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: want earned. You're getting credit for some you actually did.

276
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 3: Yes, you're on the record.

277
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: So yes, that seems kind of obvious there something. He

278
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: also got into it with us about schedule flexibility, something

279
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: you're very good about. I'm terrible about. But if you

280
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: are out there, you're running, Yes, you hold yourself accountable,

281
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: but give yourself a break if you need, if it's

282
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: an injury one day. We just stick so strictly to

283
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: these schedules that well, I'm terrible about it, you're a

284
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: better round.

285
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: We print out the schedule and then we try to

286
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: stick to it for the most part. However, there are

287
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: moments where you have a fun night out or you've

288
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: traveled or you just had a shitty night's sleep.

289
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: When you, oh, well, schedule says, we're running.

290
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: I would rather wait a day and be in better form,

291
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: and rather than push myself and be miserable, because you

292
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: know what it is. I don't want to hate running,

293
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: and I don't want it to feel obligatory.

294
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: I want to enjoy it. And yes, some runs are

295
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: more enjoyable than others.

296
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: But if you can just push it a day, it

297
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: can make a difference, or push.

298
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Your night out by a day. How about that. You

299
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: think about that. It's not making that face. All right, folks,

300
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: stay with us and we come back. As we talked

301
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: about injury and illness. We'll explain exactly what Robot's illness is,

302
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: what the solution she's found, and we'll tell you what

303
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: my injury is. Ain't no solution in sight. Also, fomo

304
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: is real. Doctors say this can have real impacts on

305
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: your health. We are experiencing it today. Stay here, we'll

306
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: tell you just how bad a case we got. All right,

307
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody, Amy and TJ. We continue here on

308
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: a pretty brutal day for a couple of runners who

309
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: have gone. It's been several years now and this is

310
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: the first one in a while that we have not

311
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: been in the New York City Marathon, which is continuing

312
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: to go as we speak right now. But you had decided,

313
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: how long ago? Was it even a year earlier? This year?

314
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: You decided You're gonna sit this one out.

315
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: It was this summer.

316
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: I had just had so much terrible nausea hit me

317
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: after any run basically that was more than fifteen miles,

318
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: and certainly during marathons.

319
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: And sometimes during even half marathon training.

320
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: I got a little so I decided, you know what,

321
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to give my body a break. My body

322
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: is telling me I have to figure out a solution.

323
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: I have to understand why I'm getting so like and

324
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm not just getting nauseated vomiting to the point where

325
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: it was affecting our finished times. So it was embarrassing

326
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: and I just felt frustrated by it, and I thought,

327
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: you know what, I got to listen to my body.

328
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: However, when we did.

329
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: The Stockholm half marathon in August August thirty first, I

330
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: felt great the entire time, not one hint of nausea,

331
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: and I did think, you know what, maybe I'll run

332
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: New York City because at that point, we were halfway

333
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: through what would have been our training and a half marathon,

334
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: so it timed out perfectly. So I was giving myself

335
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: the option to run New York with the training schedule

336
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: we were on this summer all.

337
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: Right, so we were giving ourselves the option. Look, that's

338
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: well documented at this point. We've talked about it plenty

339
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: of my injuries from last year. Literally, I've had the

340
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: same injury that I got the Chicago Marathon last year.

341
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: And it hasn't really gotten any It's.

342
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: No because I haven't stopped running on it. I've lightened

343
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: the load a little bit over the year. But to

344
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: your point, after I injured in Chicago, I ran the

345
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: New York City Marathon on it and then went to

346
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: a doctor and he told me to stay off of it,

347
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: and then we kept running and then we did. So

348
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I haven't really stopped. So I was planning to do

349
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the New York City Marathon, and quite frankly, the only

350
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: reason I'm not is because we kind of got crossed

351
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: with our contact over there at New York road Runners.

352
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: We didn't get entry because we didn't get a response

353
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: in time. And that's just the truth of the matter,

354
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: is that we were going back and forth. It was

355
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: someone that were taking care of us for years. Stewart,

356
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: we love you, but always got us entry to the

357
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: point we didn't have to send a note. He was like, Yo,

358
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: marathon's coming up.

359
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: If Stuart Lieberman hadn't heard from us, he was sending

360
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: like multiple emails a week saying, hey, are you guys

361
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: even thinking about running in New York? And from the

362
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: half marathon to the marathon to all of the races

363
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: he was really really good at even if we were

364
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: dragging our our feet a little bit, kind of motivating

365
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: us to sugg yeh.

366
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: So he was. He's been great for years. Love him.

367
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Here's the reason why I ran the first one in

368
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. If Stuart had not kind of pushed a

369
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: little bit and said, hey, Amy, I think you can

370
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: do this, I would not have run my first marathon.

371
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: So I have to give him full credit for even

372
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: getting into that first marathon.

373
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: He kind of he nudged me.

374
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: So you can tell already, folks, the way we are talking,

375
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: we have a sweet spot and a hard for Stuart.

376
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Stuart Leeberman has been great, but he unfortunately left New

377
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: York road Runners doing his own thing. With this what

378
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: was it called the Roat Race. It's really cool, cool, yes,

379
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: but he's out of there and we just don't have

380
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: right now the same relationship so far with the pr folks.

381
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: That's our fault, now, whoever's fault. It is not blaming anybody.

382
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm not getting onto New York road runners. We do

383
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: not deserve and expect you have to have a spot

384
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: for us. But quite frankly, something fell through the cracks

385
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: this year, all right, So because it fell through the cracks,

386
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: I'm not running. Had it not, I would have run on.

387
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: I think he would have. I would have and I

388
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: was pure. I was absolutely.

389
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: Planning to cheer you on, and I knew that it

390
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: was going to be difficult not to be running, but

391
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: to also be able to watch you do your thing.

392
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a win win. So now that

393
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: you're not running and I'm not running, it's a tough day. Sucks,

394
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: it's a really tough day.

395
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: It's and again it's not pour us anything. It's a

396
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: it's a race, it's a run, it's whatever, but it

397
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: is something we are that passionate about that. I didn't

398
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: even think today, Robes, you wanted to go out let's

399
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: go support runners and do these things and be a

400
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: part of this. And no, I didn't want to. I

401
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: pushed back, having turned the TV on at all. Don't

402
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: want to see any of it. And a friend of

403
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: ours who told me he wasn't running actually told me

404
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: I need to take a break, need to get out

405
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: of it. Found out from this dude that he last

406
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: second decides he's going to run it. So even that

407
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: that made me feel worse.

408
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: That was because I was like, maybe we can hang

409
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: out with him him and we could cheer on the

410
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: runners we're normally running with.

411
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: But then to find out he's running too, now it's like.

412
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of screwed. He kind of made it worse.

413
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: Left the longest voice memo ever talking about his day.

414
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm like you, yeah, this is the last thing I

415
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 3: want to hear right now.

416
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, so our friendship is over. But what we're saying

417
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: is it was. And so FOMO, you say this all

418
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: the time, and this is more so a thing for you,

419
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: it's not a thing for me. Sometimes people going out

420
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: places you just have FOMO, They're going to Maurice crisis.

421
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: You got to have all the time, Okay, it always

422
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: have it.

423
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: Is a real thing that therapist doctors do talk about it.

424
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: I was pulling some notes from the Cleveland Clinic their

425
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: website and they had a whole article on fomo basically,

426
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: and I had you define it for mess You're.

427
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: A missing out. But I just think that.

428
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: It's about belonging and about like, if you have something

429
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: you're passionate about or people who you love hanging out with,

430
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: to know that they're all enjoying it and you're not,

431
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 2: there's like this feeling of emptiness there.

432
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: You get there, it is, you absolutely nailed how they

433
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: it is anxiety. They call it anxiety that an exciting

434
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused

435
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: by posts scene on social media. FOMO. Another definition refers

436
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: to the feeling or perception that other people are having fun,

437
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: experiencing new things, or living a better life than you,

438
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: And right now, fifty thousand people are doing that on

439
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: the streets of New York and that sucks. Now. Doctors

440
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: say this does like heart palpitations, body aches, pains, headaches,

441
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: all the things. Associate it with real anxiety. So this

442
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: is a real thing. How do you help people out

443
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: of that? Like they help people out of any other anxiety. Yes,

444
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: some medication, but also some practices. Don't be jealous, be grateful,

445
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: Be grateful of the life you have, Take stock of

446
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: where you are and what you're doing, and be grateful

447
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: that somebody else, maybe somebody you know, is having a

448
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: good experience. And also the other thing. And this was

449
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: the one for me. Rhobes, identify your triggers. If it

450
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: triggers you to see that in hanging out with that

451
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: ex friend of yours, stop getting on social media and

452
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: looking at their things. So my trigger today was seeing

453
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: anybody in a pair of shoes and a damn metal

454
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: and a bibs on their chest.

455
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: It's funny because knowing that we weren't running this year,

456
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: like I didn't know you weren't runn until the end,

457
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: and I was actually holding on to my mental situation

458
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: by knowing that I could.

459
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: Cheer you on.

460
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: So I was like, that'll be fine, Like to watch

461
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: him do it will be like it'll make it better

462
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: for me. To know that you weren't doing it made

463
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: it so much sadder to me. But then like even

464
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: seeing all the marathons leading up to the New York

465
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 2: City Marathon that people I know and believe me. We

466
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: run in a running circle, so we know all of

467
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: the usual folks who love to run. Even seeing their

468
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: marathon like finish lines or times or whatever leading up

469
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: to it was actually gutting to me too, because I

470
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: knew we didn't have one, but or like one that

471
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 2: we were already signed up for. The point being is

472
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: to learn to appreciate, yes, health and just we're putting

473
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: health first right so that we can run later and longer,

474
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: and that can be a lesson for other things in life.

475
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: You can't always have things when you want it, how

476
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: you want it, but you can appreciate what you do have,

477
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: appreciate other people enjoying it, and know that you can

478
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: make plans in the future.

479
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: It never seems like it when you're going through it,

480
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: but things work out and more often than not for

481
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: the best. So this was forced upon us this year,

482
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: and I'm already excited about the possibilities for next year. So, yes,

483
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: it sucks to not be out there. It's not the

484
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: end of the world, but it means a lot to us,

485
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: and this day means a lot to this city, and

486
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: it sucks not to be a part of it today.

487
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: But yes, we are rooting on every body out there

488
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: because we know what it takes to be out there.

489
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: Oh and because this is the day that you celebrate.

490
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: This is the day that you actually get to recognize

491
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 2: how strong you are, and all the training runs that

492
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: lead up to it. That's the work, right, that's and

493
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: so we know what it takes to be out there

494
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: today running those five burrows. The amount of blood, sweat

495
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: and tears folks have put in to get to this day.

496
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people are running their first marathon ever,

497
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: and I'm so excited for them because that is the

498
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: most amazing day ever when you run your first marathon.

499
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: But for anyone listening out there, it doesn't have to

500
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: be running. But if you are a runner, like run

501
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: your first five k, run your first ten k, sign

502
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: up right now. In fact, I have tabs open right

503
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: now for a couple half marathons and even the London

504
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 2: Marathon twenty twenty six, like looking like wanting to see, Okay,

505
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: what can I put down and sign up for, so

506
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: that there is real excitement about building towards the future.

507
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 2: But one thing, First of all, I know it's not

508
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: what you wanted, but I'm actually so grateful you're not

509
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: running today because I hope that it means that you

510
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: can actually enjoy your your runs and not be in pain.

511
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: You've been in pain for a year, and I've watched

512
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: you be in pain for a year. So I'm actually

513
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: really excited that you're giving yourself a break. And I

514
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 2: know it's really hard, but it's going to pay tenfold,

515
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: one hundredfold.

516
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: And I was also going to say this, I was surprised.

517
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you were that.

518
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: Roberto said, most people who have running buddies, it's not

519
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: their partner.

520
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: Were you surprised by that?

521
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Not really? Quite? Frankly, we're not like the others. I'll

522
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you there. I am. You and I

523
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: trained together. We run together. I am a faster runner.

524
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: I have to slow down incredibly to stay with you

525
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: in a training run or a race. I would have

526
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: prs out the wazoo. But it's important to me that

527
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: we stay together. We do this together. We went through

528
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: this training together, and we're gonna cross the finish line together.

529
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: So no, I am that's probably freakistion. People think that's odd,

530
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: and that's okay. If you tell me that our relationship

531
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: isn't going like others and with that, folks, we always

532
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging with us. We're fine, We're gonna make

533
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: it through the day, okay, but just want to hop

534
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: off until everybody have a great day, find you some inspiration,

535
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: push yourself a little bit, and by all means continue

536
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: to don't call runners freaks. They are very, very special

537
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: and different people and with that we always appreciate you

538
