WEBVTT - We Have Marathon FOMO 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:06.080 This morning, fifty thousand people hit the streets of the 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.680 five boroughs of New York for the most exciting, the 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.880 most thrilling, the most prestigious marathon in the world, the 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.599 New York City Marathon, And for the first time in years, 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.720 Amy Robot and TJ Holmes were not among the runners, 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:28.320 and it caused more of a difficult morning than we anticipated. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.920 And with that, everybody, welcome to this fomo edition of 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.400 Amy and TJ. We joke about it and pomos thrown 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.800 around on social media. I really wasn't okay this morning 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.320 to not be running the New York City Marathon, knowing 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.040 that it was going on, and it actually, as of 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:46.279 this recording, is still going on. 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.040 Oh it's tough. It's very tough. And look, we are 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.280 so excited for everyone running that race. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:54.680 It is magical. 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.840 There is no day quite like it in this city 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.440 for sure, and I would argue around the world this 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.399 is such an incredible race, not just because of the 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.840 phenomenal trek where it takes you over the bridges and 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.280 through all five boroughs, but the people who come out 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:16.840 to celebrate one another. It's just a beautiful, cohesive, inclusive, 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.679 amazing day that we hope to be a part of 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.840 as often as possible, but this year. 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.840 It was impossible. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.319 To explaining, and we talked a little bit about why 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:34.800 we're not running. But the city. It's the It's a 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.880 rare moment in New York City where the entire city 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:44.880 comes together to route on a diverse group of people, 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.200 like it doesn't matter where you're from, what your background is, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.800 or people from all over the world obviously all different backgrounds, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.480 and the entire city it's a million they estimate every year, right, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.920 they come out in the streets at least, yes, that 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.000 and you know this world. Some neighborhoods you go through 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.920 you can barely even run down the street because it's 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.120 so packed with people cheering you on. Oh I say 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.800 that way. The city gives you a collective hug on 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.680 that day like nothing else I've experienced in this city. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:12.160 I love it. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.120 There are neighborhoods in Brooklyn that I want to move 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:20.960 to because they have the most fun. These neighborhood parties 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.960 along their brownstones where you're running and people have their 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.360 red solo cups with whatever beverage they want inside and 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.840 they are cheering you on. There's music playing there are 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.120 bands on the corner. It is amazing. And I always 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.640 thought if I didn't run that, somehow I'd end up 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:37.639 at one of those places. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.400 But I think it's it feels. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:47.320 It feels very sad to not be running it. And 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.720 I'm so just in awe of anyone who takes on 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.560 that challenge and runs twenty six point two miles. It 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.880 is the toughest thing I've ever done, and yet it's 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.320 the most alive I've ever felt. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.320 And that's why on a day like today, when you 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.560 know this is going on, Look, it's not like any 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.079 other marathon in the world. If something happened and we 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.080 signed up and weren't able to make it, yeah, that's 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.360 a disappointment. But this is a different This is New 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.200 York City. This is our home, this is our hometown, 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.320 this is where we have participated for years and years 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.520 and again. To be sitting here now and not being 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:26.040 a part of it, and you're able to say it 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.160 like I want to go and root them on and 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.640 cheer them on. I don't know if maybe you noticed 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.880 this morning, I had a brief moment that I put 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.440 on for the local coverage of it before it started 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.600 turned off. We have not had them. I always have 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.480 the TV's on, all of them, got them going. Did 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:47.480 not have a single bit of coverage that was intentional. Like, 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.400 it sucks that bad. I don't want to hear about it. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.840 I don't want to see I don't want to know 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.120 who ran. I don't want to see a medal. I 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.800 don't want to see your Instagram posts. Right, that's just me. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.440 I'm not mad at anybody else, but I am absolutely 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.000 just torn to not be out there this year. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.600 Yeah, but I and I hear you because I feel 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.200 the same way. But I do think that there are 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.960 lessons to be learned, and listening to your body is 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.760 among them, and we are now getting to ages where look, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.159 I am grateful to be as healthy as I am 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.479 given all of my challenges throughout the years, but even 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.400 knowing people and loving people who have. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:28.840 Back issues, knee issues, hip issues, issues, period where your body, yes, 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.599 starts to break down and running is not a is 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.960 not a sport for an older generation of folks Now 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.359 every marathon I'm always amazed where I see people in 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.880 their seventies, eighties, nineties running marathons. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.520 Slowly but doing it. 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.880 Have older runner My dad ran Berlin at sixty eight. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.360 I'm so amazed. And the hope is that we can 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.160 get to that and be able to enjoy our bodies 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.880 and see what they can do for as long as possible. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.920 But sometimes that means sitting it out a year, and 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.640 that's what this year has become. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:07.520 Yeah, And I guess two things kept us out. Illness 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:13.200 and injury. Illness for you, injury for me, voluntary for you, 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:18.480 maybe not voluntary for me. We will get into and explain. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.440 But we hopped on and talking here because it goes 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:25.479 in line with our latest article with Yahoo. It was 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.640 just posted, that was just put up and which we'll 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.960 say it this, We'll put it this way. This is 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.760 what the headline. We didn't know our producer was gonna 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.520 write this headline, no writer, but this is the way 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.400 she put it. And I quote the new headline in 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:40.000 our latest Yahoo article is this, She's fifty two, he's 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.400 forty eight. They train for marathons through rain, shine and injuries. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.440 Now these running freaks ask are we doing this right? 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:49.799 And that's the headline. 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:51.880 Do they have to reiterate the fact that I'm four 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.760 years older than you? 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:59.400 Um, you better be glad. This was written after my birthday. 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.600 That could have staid, she's fifty two, he's forty seven, So. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.120 There's the bright side. But I'm kidding. I don't mind. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.599 We make jokes about it all the time. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.359 But still to the point, let's talk about that for 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.400 a second. Fifty two. How many people out there fifty two? Hey, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.640 start training for a marathon? See if you count, how 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.080 many at fifty two are going to even attempt such 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.600 a thing. Look running as well, But even to think 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.120 that someone at fifty two is physically capable should be applauded. 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.919 And no, it's not a negative thing. You use some 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.480 clue who I know you are, but there was some celebrity, 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.440 it was a woman. It's not a negative thing. It's 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.800 like you should say congratulations that you've made it this 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.120 far and you are this healthy. You should never ever 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.240 look at your age as a negative. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.960 I look at it that clearly. And look, I ran 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.640 my first marathon at the age of forty six. So 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.360 I always want to tell women and men of any 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.919 age it is never too late. Obviously you have to 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.559 listen to your body when you have injuries. But short 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.920 of that, we limit ourselves. I think we all do it. 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.839 I certainly did I loved running always, had never pushed 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.080 myself past a ten k and hadn't done a ten 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.560 k in a really long time. And it wasn't until 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.080 I had cancer and someone suggested, Hey, would you be 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.560 willing to run a half marathon? And even then I balked. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.400 Even then I only agreed to do half of the 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.560 half marathon. And it wasn't until I started recognizing, Wait, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.760 I'm stronger than I think. My body is capable of 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.320 doing things I didn't think it could do, and I 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.720 just would. I would challenge anyone listening who thinks they 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.960 couldn't or can't, because I was one of those people. 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.240 I used to say all the time there's no way 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.320 I could ever And the end of that was run 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.720 a marathon one hundred percent. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.000 Couldn't or can versus have a desire. That's all the 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.840 two different things. I mean, it's a lot just and mentally, 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.360 I don't want to run a half marathon. Who wants 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.040 to do that? What nut would go through that to 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.400 run a marathon? And god a marathon. So there's a 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.200 certain segment of the population that just this ain't their thing, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.520 It wasn't mine, got the bug now, can't let it go. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:07:59.960 Now I'm in tears because I'm missing a mark. 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.360 I think the point being is that yes, agreed and 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.880 running like my youngest can hates running, and I get that. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.240 That is the thing for a lot of folks. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.400 But whatever it is that you love that physically challenges you, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.119 take it to the next level. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.160 And I just like, at any. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.320 Age, if you're already doing it. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.160 Correct because I just I didn't think I could and 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.920 I felt safe and I was like, you know what, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.800 I'm good. And it wasn't until my world got rocked 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.120 with my unsafeness, with feeling unhealthy, that I started saying, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.440 wait a minute, what could I can see what my 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.920 body failed at. I can see where I went wrong, 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:37.480 I can see where things unraveled. But what if I 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.320 could put it back together? And what if I could 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.080 make myself stronger and better? And honestly, it was in 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.360 a challenge to myself to be healthier that I thought, 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.280 let's push my body to see what I'm capable of 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:49.400 and go past those fears. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.000 Because truly, for me, yes, I. 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.400 Love running, but I didn't want to run a marathon, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.240 mostly because I was scared to I was scared to try. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.000 I was scared to fail. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.520 And I actually made my self believe that I wasn't 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.480 able to run one, that I just wasn't strong enough. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:10.120 That's fair. I think everybody who runs a marathon, what 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.520 mile is it that that thing creeps into your mind 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.240 you actually don't think you can finish the damn thing. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:15.440 It's usually around mile twenty. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.760 Yeah, well after mile twenty, that's when that's when things 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.440 start to get a little hairy, right around twenty. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.880 And that happens for everybody because in most seen but 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.160 in most training runs, this is a mental thing as well. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.560 You know you have run twenty miles, usually is your 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.120 longest training run. Some people don't even do that. But 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.440 once you start getting into those numbers, like I'm doing 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:37.640 something I've never done before. 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:41.640 Carry yes, scary and exciting, it. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:46.240 Is my first one. I remember mile twenty. I got 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.480 re energized because wow, I have never run this long before. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.960 So every step I took after mile twenty was another victory, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.880 another victory, and that carried me on the first one, 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:58.840 not the second and third when it was a different situation. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.679 But that really did carry me thinking I've never done 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.920 this before. So to your point, whether you decide to 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.080 do that today, or you decide to do it at 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.520 mile or what it happens to you at mile twenty. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.280 It does happen, this moment hits you that Wow, I 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.920 am capable of more than I ever thought I was, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.520 and that is intoxicateble. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.400 I remember being with you on the longest run you 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.440 had ever done, which was eight miles and this was 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.040 several years ago, and the joy that you had, the 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.880 pride that you felt that you did something you didn't 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.920 think you either wanted to do or could do. 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.120 I don't know what if it was either or both. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:41.040 Oh it was at the end of eight miles. I 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.240 could have run another ten, So to know what I'm 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.199 capable of, like, oh, my body can handle this, Oh 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.600 my mind can handle Oh it was I was done. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.920 I was hooked. It was over after that. And now 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.520 I'm sitting here with you. I am actually in the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.160 middle of at least a minimum two week break from running. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.040 Shit that I haven't mindful done that in five years. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.160 It's painful, gone on two weeks. I just have not 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.720 and I have to for I don't have to, but 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.200 for injury reasons. And look some of the questions and 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.640 again you all please check out the article. It's on 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.800 Yahoo dot com and the life section. Yes, right now 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.160 and ask game Me and TJ. You can find it 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.840 there now. But we got to bounce some of our routine, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.000 some of what we do off of a guy who 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.480 is a big time runner, someone we've run with over 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.480 the past several years, Roberto. But we went through several 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.520 things asking him are we doing this right? And we 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.440 went through several questions with him. Is it good to 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.360 have a friend that you run with? Is it good 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.559 to have schedule flexibility, the food, how you fuel and whatnot. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.280 I don't think it's a surprise that people here that 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.640 running with someone and having that person. Excuse me, you 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.480 always say that being accountable to someone is a big thing. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.280 It's almost a must when you're starting to run. I 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.960 feel it's just it. It keeps you in the game. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.199 Otherwise running is tough enough with like, I would just 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.920 say physically and mentally that if you can make an 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.000 excuse you well to void a run. But if you 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.640 make a date with a friend or a partner or whomever, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.800 and you are held accountable, you will go and you 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:07.640 will show up. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.440 And here's the deal, I guarantee you won't regret it. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.280 Never fails. But to the other point about a buddy 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.920 as well, that buddy doesn't have to live down the 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.480 street in the same town. You can be held accountable 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.920 with all the apps now and whatnot. Strava. Hey, you 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.640 can see somebody across the country if they did their 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:27.880 run today like they were supposed to me. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:28.680 It's so funny. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.520 So my oldest has just recently gotten into running, despite 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.360 years of me trying to get her too, she finally 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.840 on her own decided to start. She's been sending me 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.760 pictures every day of her runs, but today she was like, hey, mom, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.520 I got really fun kudos from Pop, my dad and 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.240 my cousin. And she was excited because when she runs, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.920 she's on the Strava community. Other people, my dad who's 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.680 in Georgia and Tatum, who is in California, were cheering 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.600 her on and it made her feel excited and happy, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.880 and it fuels your desire to run because you get 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.440 at a boys basically from people who you are in 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.360 little running circles with. And so yes, my dad's usually 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.480 the first person to give me a it's a kudos 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.520 on Strava, where you get literally. 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.840 A thumbs up it's almost like social media for runners. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.360 Yes, and you basically are just high fiving one another, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.040 which I think is so cool. And when I see 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.920 on Strava that my cousin Nick has run, or that 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.280 my dad went for a run, or that my cousin tATu, 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.720 it motivates me to run. These are all really fun 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.200 tools to have a community that you don't have to 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.280 live with or nearby. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.880 Yes, it is social media. It's like likes, but these 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.920 are for different reasons, and these are ones you actually 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.320 want earned. You're getting credit for some you actually did. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:41.840 Yes, you're on the record. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.320 So yes, that seems kind of obvious there something. He 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.880 also got into it with us about schedule flexibility, something 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.320 you're very good about. I'm terrible about. But if you 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.720 are out there, you're running, Yes, you hold yourself accountable, 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.120 but give yourself a break if you need, if it's 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.200 an injury one day. We just stick so strictly to 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:04.000 these schedules that well, I'm terrible about it, you're a 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:04.520 better round. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.439 We print out the schedule and then we try to 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.160 stick to it for the most part. However, there are 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.959 moments where you have a fun night out or you've 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.800 traveled or you just had a shitty night's sleep. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.320 When you, oh, well, schedule says, we're running. 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.600 I would rather wait a day and be in better form, 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.000 and rather than push myself and be miserable, because you 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.520 know what it is. I don't want to hate running, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.440 and I don't want it to feel obligatory. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.480 I want to enjoy it. And yes, some runs are 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.480 more enjoyable than others. 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.480 But if you can just push it a day, it 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.160 can make a difference, or push. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.440 Your night out by a day. How about that. You 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.520 think about that. It's not making that face. All right, folks, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.120 stay with us and we come back. As we talked 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:50.520 about injury and illness. We'll explain exactly what Robot's illness is, 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.600 what the solution she's found, and we'll tell you what 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:58.320 my injury is. Ain't no solution in sight. Also, fomo 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:04.280 is real. Doctors say this can have real impacts on 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.520 your health. We are experiencing it today. Stay here, we'll 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:20.360 tell you just how bad a case we got. All right, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.520 Welcome back everybody, Amy and TJ. We continue here on 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.760 a pretty brutal day for a couple of runners who 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.440 have gone. It's been several years now and this is 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.720 the first one in a while that we have not 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.040 been in the New York City Marathon, which is continuing 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.400 to go as we speak right now. But you had decided, 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.800 how long ago? Was it even a year earlier? This year? 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.720 You decided You're gonna sit this one out. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.800 It was this summer. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.240 I had just had so much terrible nausea hit me 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.360 after any run basically that was more than fifteen miles, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.920 and certainly during marathons. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.760 And sometimes during even half marathon training. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.400 I got a little so I decided, you know what, 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.040 I'm going to give my body a break. My body 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.040 is telling me I have to figure out a solution. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.200 I have to understand why I'm getting so like and 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.240 I'm not just getting nauseated vomiting to the point where 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.080 it was affecting our finished times. So it was embarrassing 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.080 and I just felt frustrated by it, and I thought, 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:19.840 you know what, I got to listen to my body. 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:20.840 However, when we did. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:24.880 The Stockholm half marathon in August August thirty first, I 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.840 felt great the entire time, not one hint of nausea, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.400 and I did think, you know what, maybe I'll run 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.400 New York City because at that point, we were halfway 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.000 through what would have been our training and a half marathon, 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.040 so it timed out perfectly. So I was giving myself 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.120 the option to run New York with the training schedule 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.600 we were on this summer all. 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:52.000 Right, so we were giving ourselves the option. Look, that's 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.840 well documented at this point. We've talked about it plenty 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.120 of my injuries from last year. Literally, I've had the 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.680 same injury that I got the Chicago Marathon last year. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.840 And it hasn't really gotten any It's. 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.679 No because I haven't stopped running on it. I've lightened 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.840 the load a little bit over the year. But to 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.760 your point, after I injured in Chicago, I ran the 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.280 New York City Marathon on it and then went to 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.760 a doctor and he told me to stay off of it, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.560 and then we kept running and then we did. So 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.040 I haven't really stopped. So I was planning to do 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.560 the New York City Marathon, and quite frankly, the only 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.760 reason I'm not is because we kind of got crossed 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.960 with our contact over there at New York road Runners. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.879 We didn't get entry because we didn't get a response 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.200 in time. And that's just the truth of the matter, 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.119 is that we were going back and forth. It was 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:36.680 someone that were taking care of us for years. Stewart, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.080 we love you, but always got us entry to the 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.840 point we didn't have to send a note. He was like, Yo, 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.159 marathon's coming up. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.160 If Stuart Lieberman hadn't heard from us, he was sending 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.159 like multiple emails a week saying, hey, are you guys 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.399 even thinking about running in New York? And from the 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.040 half marathon to the marathon to all of the races 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.560 he was really really good at even if we were 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.800 dragging our our feet a little bit, kind of motivating 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:03.040 us to sugg yeh. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.000 So he was. He's been great for years. Love him. 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:07.720 Here's the reason why I ran the first one in 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.119 twenty nineteen. If Stuart had not kind of pushed a 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.359 little bit and said, hey, Amy, I think you can 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.679 do this, I would not have run my first marathon. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.800 So I have to give him full credit for even 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.240 getting into that first marathon. 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:20.800 He kind of he nudged me. 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.200 So you can tell already, folks, the way we are talking, 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.640 we have a sweet spot and a hard for Stuart. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.119 Stuart Leeberman has been great, but he unfortunately left New 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.000 York road Runners doing his own thing. With this what 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:35.200 was it called the Roat Race. It's really cool, cool, yes, 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.560 but he's out of there and we just don't have 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.600 right now the same relationship so far with the pr folks. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.919 That's our fault, now, whoever's fault. It is not blaming anybody. 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.600 I'm not getting onto New York road runners. We do 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.359 not deserve and expect you have to have a spot 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.800 for us. But quite frankly, something fell through the cracks 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.200 this year, all right, So because it fell through the cracks, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.679 I'm not running. Had it not, I would have run on. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.720 I think he would have. I would have and I 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.040 was pure. I was absolutely. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:07.080 Planning to cheer you on, and I knew that it 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.359 was going to be difficult not to be running, but 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.560 to also be able to watch you do your thing. 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.959 I was like, that's a win win. So now that 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.639 you're not running and I'm not running, it's a tough day. Sucks, 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:21.200 it's a really tough day. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:26.679 It's and again it's not pour us anything. It's a 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.280 it's a race, it's a run, it's whatever, but it 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.359 is something we are that passionate about that. I didn't 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.440 even think today, Robes, you wanted to go out let's 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.280 go support runners and do these things and be a 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.240 part of this. And no, I didn't want to. I 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.840
