1 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: Hey hurdlers, Emily A. Badi here bringing you this week's 2 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: episode of Five Minute Friday. What a week. I said 3 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: that at the beginning of every one of these episodes, 4 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: I am anxious and excited and feel like I'm forgetting things, 5 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: but that happens all the time. This week a little 6 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: bit more than usual because I am setting out to 7 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: run a virtual marathon this weekend because why not? And really, 8 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: I mean I wrote about that on social media earlier yesterday, 9 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: just like this idea that I feel as though in 10 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: a year that is so full of ups and downs 11 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: and things that I am unsure of and feeling like 12 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: you're like not enough, or that you have so much 13 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: to prove and you're spending so much time alone, like 14 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: so many things about this year, so many hard things, 15 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: that this virtual marathon for me is a reminder I 16 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: know that I can do the hard things. And so 17 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: when I keep getting asked, you know, why would you 18 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: do that, I'm just kind of like, you know what, 19 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: why not? Anyway, for five Minute Friday this week, I 20 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: am talking a little bit more about the virtual marathon. 21 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'll be lacing up on Saturday to do it, 22 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: and you know, we all think a ton of things 23 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: before any race, whether it's a mile or a five k, 24 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: ten k half marathon, marathon, what have you? You have 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts right this week. I have been thinking, 26 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: like I need to do laundry, I need to buy bagels. 27 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm out of peanut butter. I should I wear race bib? 28 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the temperature, which I think is like 29 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: maybe a high of forty eight right now, Like should 30 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: I be wearing shorts? Should I be wearing pants? Should 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: I be wearing a long sleeve? Do I know what 32 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: root I'm going? Which actually is kind of comical considering 33 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: you need to map out where you're gonna go in 34 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: some respects to make sure that you have enough room 35 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: to run twenty six point two miles. But God, that 36 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: makes it a lot more difficult to design your own 37 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: root instead of someone just guiding you exactly where to go. Okay, 38 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: I digress anyway. I mean, so many questions in my 39 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: head and so many things that are swirling, and so 40 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: many things that are different, Like I haven't or didn't 41 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: talk to my parents about the fact that I was 42 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: doing this in depth because I wouldn't expect them to 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: come for it unlike a normal marathon. Obviously, I'm not 44 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: going to a marathon expo. I'm not worrying about telling 45 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: people where to meet afterward to celebrate, like I'm not 46 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: doing a bunch of the normal things. It's it's my 47 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: race and it's my rules. With that said, something that 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: did pop into my head today that is interesting is 49 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: the thought that I am going to be starting this 50 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: race completely by myself. I do have like a friend, 51 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: a couple of friends that will be jumping in at 52 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: different points on this run, but not for like the 53 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: first eight to ten miles. And that's kind of crazy. Like, 54 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so many times I go out for 55 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: a weekend long run or I go out on a 56 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: run and I'm going by myself, and that's one thing, 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: but never have I ever like set out on a marathon. 58 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: It feels really appropriate to go hand in hand with 59 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Like, how many things this year, whether you 60 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: are single or attached, have you had to pony up 61 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and do alone? Have you had to do in a 62 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: way that is different than what you used to know? 63 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: This is just an other example of that. You know, 64 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: no one's going to be standing there watching me and 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: cheering me on. This is something that certainly has the 66 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: potential to be uncomfortable, and it becomes my responsibility, and 67 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: my responsibility alone as I have set out to do this, 68 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: that I'm going to stay the course. This is an 69 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: opportunity for me to focus on the things that I 70 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: can control and kind of throw my hands up in 71 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: the air to the things that I can't. Just like 72 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: this crazy, crazy year, I have no goal, no expectation 73 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: aside from the fact that I will finish, and I 74 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: feel as though Saturday is really just another opportunity for 75 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: me to lace up my shoes and go out there 76 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: and do something that I love that makes me feel 77 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: like me a little less adrenaline maybe than usual, but 78 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: I will always, whether it's Saturday or any other day, 79 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: have me have my thoughts and be my own biggest 80 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: hype man. My prompt for you this week, what is 81 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 1: one goal that you have for the remainder of twenty twenty. 82 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: What's something that you want to get done? Again, what 83 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: is one goal you have for the remainder of twenty twenty? 84 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: What is something that you want to get done?

I would say, 89 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: on the top of my list right now some people 90 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: I would love to talk to uh Serena Williams, Simone Biles, 91 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Megan Rappino, Misty Copeland, Chilane Flanagan.
