1
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: Okay, hurdlers, Emily here popping into your feed for five

2
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Minute Friday. What a week? Every week feels like a

3
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: month when you're home in quarantine. For those of you

4
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: that missed five Minute Friday last week, this is a

5
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: fun little segment I'm doing on the podcast where I

6
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: share a story, I offer you a thought provoking prompt,

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: and then I share my content highlights of the week.

8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: So yesterday I decided to wake up and go on

9
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: a run. The morning started pretty slow, I had a

10
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: little espresso, I was enjoying reading and journaling. I got

11
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: ready for the run and I went out there, and

12
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I didn't exactly have a distance in mind. I just

13
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: knew I wanted to get to other parts of the city.

14
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I think it's been really interesting spending the last what

15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: feels like forever, but is really I think about ten

16
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: days now within a four or five block radius. Anyway,

17
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: I headed downtown and I weaved my way down the

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: east side of Manhattan toward the Lower east Side. And

19
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: I had a choice. When I got to the Williamsburg Bridge.

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I could either turn around and run the four miles

21
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: back up, or I could take a loop, And so

22
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I went for the loop and I went over the bridge,

23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: made a left toward Williamsburg proper, weaved my way through,

24
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: stopped by McCarran Park, kept going through Greenpoint, over the

25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: PULASKI back in, over the Queensboro and back uptown to

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the upper east Side, and I think it was heading

27
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: on over Theansborough when I realized just how much I

28
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: was enjoying the run. You know, running is something I

29
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: do at least four or five days a week, and

30
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: up until recently it had felt kind of tedious, as

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: it can be sometimes with marathon training. But recently, after

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: the postponing of London and my plans shifting, I've been

33
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: able to find the joy in running again. I've been

34
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: able to feel like my best self on the run.

35
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: I noticed on the bridge that I felt so thankful

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: and grateful just to move, just to get outside of

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the walls of my apartment. I was so grateful for

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: this simple thing, this one activity, and it's so awesome

39
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: that this thing can bring me so much happiness. Still,

40
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: of course, there are the days where it feels painful

41
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: or frustrating, or I might have a goal that I

42
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: don't exactly meet, or I have to abandon a workout

43
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: part of the way through. I'm not perfect, no one

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: is perfect, but on this day yesterday, I felt whole.

45
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. So this week's prompt, what is something

46
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: in your life that you can do today, this weekend

47
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: or soon that brings you true joy? And I want

48
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: to follow that up with another question, is there something

49
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: in your life that falls into this bucket that you've

50
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: been over complicating lately? And as an aside, if you're

51
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: doing these prompts at home, which I hope that you are,

52
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: and you're writing down your answers, I would love for

53
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: you to share them with me on social media by

54
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: tagging either at Hurdle Podcasts at Emily Abody and of

55
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: course you're always welcome just to send me it over

56
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: a DM or via email. It's Emily at Hurdle Us.

57
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Now my content picks for the week. First and foremost,

58
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Brene has a new podcast. If you've never listened to

59
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: her speak before or read her books, I highly recommend it.

60
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: One of my favorites is I Thought It was just

61
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Me but it isn't. Or another great gateway is her

62
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: Netflix special. Anyway, the podcast is called Unlocking Us. I

63
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: believe there are already three episodes out and I'm really

64
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: digging it. Hurdler reached out to me yesterday on Instagram

65
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: and suggested that I get the book. Maybe you should

66
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: talk to someone by Lori Gottlieb. I've seen it popping

67
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: up on Instagram. I've heard it's great. I ordered it

68
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: yesterday on Amazon and I'm holding it right now. I'm

69
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: super excited to jump into that. And then I think

70
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: it's really important right now to shout out the people

71
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: that are doing some good, specially those in the fitness industry.

72
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: It's a hard time a lot of them figuring out

73
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: how to make ends meet and how to make a

74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: shift now that they can't work with clients in person

75
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: or teach their regular classes. And so I want to

76
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out today to a few people

77
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: that I think are doing a stellar job over on Instagram,

78
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: especially Ashley Wilking. She's a Nike trainer as well as

79
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: a Rumble trainer. She has been going live at least

80
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: what seems like twice a day and putting some really

81
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: awesome content out there. Also a shout out to Bethany

82
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Lyons and lions Den Power Yoga your five PM Happy

83
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Hours have been getting me through. And then lastly, if

99
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,800
