I'm here through the marathon on Monday, 6 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: heading back home on Tuesday, and really enjoying the change 7 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: of scenery. The energy up here is electric. I want 8 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: to wish well wishes, good luck, happy running to everyone 9 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: that's going to be heading out there this coming Monday. 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: I believe I'll be cheering around mile twenty five, but 11 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: if you want to know exactly where I will be, 12 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: I will make sure to post that on Instagram as 13 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I get a better idea. 14 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Closer to the race. But I'm so excited to be 15 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: up here. 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: And if you don't have plans tomorrow evening and you 17 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: want to be entertained, I'm going to be sitting down 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: with Des Linden live and you can stream it, so 19 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: I will include the link to do that. Thanks to 20 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: my friends at Inside Tracker for connecting us. I'll put 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: that link in the show notes. So for today's episode 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: of Five Minute Friday, I want to talk a little 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,279 Speaker 1: bit about reframing, which is something that I have spoken 24 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: about here in the past and relevant to my experience 25 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: this week. I am currently reframing and making new memories 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: based on my time in Boston. So for two reasons, 27 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: first and foremost, when I ran the Boston Marathon, it was, 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: I believe, twenty eighteen notoriously known as the worst weather 29 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: conditions goodness, I mean from a cold perspective. I know 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: it's been quite hot here many times, but the year 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: that I ran the Boston Marathon, there was hail like 32 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: sixty mile an hour, gust of wind, elites had dropped 33 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: out because of hypothermia, like, the conditions were just awful, 34 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: and it was a very very very hard day to 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: run a marathon. And I did the thing, and I 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: was so and am still so proud of that effort. 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: But because of that effort, I always joke that although qualifying, 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: although I have qualified for the Boston Marathon, at this point, 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: I just don't think that I have. 40 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: An interest in doing it again. 41 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: And then I remembered, upon coming and checking into one 42 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: of two hotels that I'm saying in this week, I 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: remembered that the last time I was at the first hotel, 44 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: was the weekend that I got out of my last relationship. 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: We had come up here, I me and my partner 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: at the time to go to a run with the 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: Midnight Runners and Rebok, and we toured around the city 48 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: and made a whole weekend of it. And then when 49 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: we got back to New York, he like sat me down, 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: he was like, We're done. And you know, I guess 51 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: you could say, considering those two stories, that I don't 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: have the fond. 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: Memories of spending a lot of time in Boston, but 54 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: I recognize that, you know, every single day we have 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 2: an opportunity to reframe and to make new memories. 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: And this is also something that I talked with earlier 57 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: this week with Rebecca Sofer from Modern Loss about when 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: she was chatting about the memories that we have with 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: people who we may not have in our lives anymore, 60 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: maybe they have passed, or perhaps the relationships have just dissolved, 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: and rather than thinking about everything through a negative lens 62 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: or thinking about how things aren't the same anymore, we 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: have that chance to then reframe and to rejigger and 64 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: to redo. And so for me in Boston this week, 65 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: I have a lot of really great things going on. 66 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm here, like I said, through Tuesday, and I'm just 67 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: really looking forward to kind of reclaiming some of this 68 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: space and some of my energy and smiling maybe a 69 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: little bit more and getting to see people I haven't 70 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: seen in a really long time coming together in community 71 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: and that feels really, really nice. So my question for 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: you this week is what's going on in your life 73 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: that maybe you can look at through a different lens. 74 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: What opportunity can you take hold of to rewrite your 75 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: narrative to reclaim your story? Again? My prompt for you 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: this week, what opportunity can you take hold of to 77 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: rewrite your narrative to reframe your story with something that's 78 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: going on right now for you? And now a listener question. 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: Hey, Emily, this is Amber from Nashua, New Hampshire originally 80 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: Worcester and my question is based off of the hats 81 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: question that you got for last week. I would like 82 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: to know where you get your style inspiration from. You 83 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: always look so classic and functional, like you'd be able 84 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 3: to I don't know New York, but fifty blocks to 85 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: go somewhere to get a coffee and your nails are 86 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 3: always so on point, Like what's your where do you 87 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: get your outfit ideas from? And like, what does your 88 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 3: closet look like? Could we see your closet? Like, I 89 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 3: have so many clothes and I feel like I can 90 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: never find any outfit in the idea of paring down 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: just terrifies me. Thanks so much. 92 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: What up Amber? 93 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: Okay, So admittedly this question came through a little while ago, 94 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: but I'm just getting to it. So style inspiration, I 95 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: definitely will save things that I like when I'm scrolling 96 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: or whatever and think about what a situation might be 97 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: where I could use this outfit at a later time. 98 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'm shopping very far ahead, especially like I mentioned, 99 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm traveling right now, so I like to know, you know, 100 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: what's going on in my schedule a month out, sometimes 101 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: in the best case scenario, a little more than that, 102 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: and all like just advanced plan so to speak. So, 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: for example, I saw someone wearing a cropped blazer a 104 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: few months ago. I loved the look. I knew I 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: had that talk in DC coming up last month, and 106 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: so I bought that blazer with that talk in mind. 107 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: I very rarely buy clothes to just buy clothes. I 108 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: almost always buy clothes because I know of a thing 109 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: that I can use that particular item for. I am 110 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: back on rent the Runway right now, although I'll admit 111 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm not totally sold on a lot of the stuff 112 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: that I've been seeing on there lately, but I have 113 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: been finding it very useful for things that are like 114 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: one and done when it comes to weddings or events. 115 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: I don't have, you know, endless amounts of cash just 116 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: to put things in my closet only to wear them once. 117 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: So the things that are coming into my closet these 118 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: are more staple items, items that I'm more like on 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: board with investing in, and then I just figure out 120 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: how to repurpose them and use them for all different moments, occasions, 121 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: et cetera. When it comes to functionality, I mean, I'm 122 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: a queen of functionality. I will wear a lot of 123 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: different sneakers. As you know, you asked if you could 124 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: see my closet. Obviously on a podcast you can't really 125 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: see things, but painting a picture. There are literally like 126 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: seventy pairs of sneakers stored in over the door sneaker 127 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: holders and above the shelf, and a lot of clothes 128 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: which I now need to switch out based on seasons. 129 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: But for me, it's all about pairing like comfortable basics together. 130 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: I do have, you know, some heels and like not 131 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: sneakers in the rotation, but I my god, I feel 132 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: like the last two times I've worn heels, I've like 133 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: blistered immediately. For me, it's all about comfort. It's all 134 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: about what I feel good in my body with. It's 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: all about saving stuff to use later for style inspo. 136 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I guess that's it for this week. Thanks for hurdling 137 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: with me. I feel like I'm in such a weird mood. 138 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: I am so grateful for all of you, and I 139 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: just yeah, I'm really grateful for you. Thanks for keeping 140 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: up with me. Make sure you're following along to do 141 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: more of that over at Hurdle Podcast.
