1 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily and Vadi. Here you are listening to 2 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday on Hurdle. I am recording this in 3 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: my not so typical studio space, sitting inside of one 4 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: of my dearest friends homes in Rhode Island, and I 5 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: drove up here earlier today, just went a long weekend, 6 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: finally meeting her soon to be three month old baby, 7 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: and relaxing a bit as I sit here staring outside 8 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: of two massive French doors, thinking that this looks nothing 9 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: like my apartment anyway. Something that I want to talk 10 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: about today is saying yes, I've been trying to do 11 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: that a lot more lately. I am sure some of 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: you can relate to this. It's really easy for me 13 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,279 Speaker 1: to get comfortable in my groove when I'm at home 14 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: of working, doing my runs, going to sporadical lotate these classes, 15 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: seeing some of my close friends, but mostly keeping a 16 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: lot to myself, and in between work travel, being here 17 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: and there in Rhode Island and next week Oregon, I 18 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: said to myself that I wanted to make a priority 19 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: of getting out a little bit more, of experiencing my 20 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: surroundings more. Summer in New York is one of my 21 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: favorite times, and I have been spending it hold up 22 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: in my apartment, not really allowing myself the freedom, the 23 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: space to try new things. And so lately when someone 24 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: has been asking me, do you want to do this? 25 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: Do you want to go to dinner? Do you want 26 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: to go to the beach? Do you want to go 27 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: to this random rooftop party in Bushwick? My answer has 28 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: been yes, and it's been paying off. I've been having fun. 29 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I've been dancing for hours on end. I have been 30 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: letting my hair down and it feels good. I feel 31 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: like this episode is a reminder for me that it's 32 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: okay to step outside of routine. It doesn't mean that 33 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: you're going to negate your progress or go back to 34 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: square one, and that there can be time for all 35 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: of it if you only give yourself a little bit 36 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: of grace and you're flexible in your methods. So my 37 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: prompt for you this week, I'm coming to you from 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: a place of yes. What's one thing that you should 39 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: try saying yes to. What's one thing that you want 40 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: to get outside and do one thing that might be 41 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: outside of your comfort zone that could be just what 42 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: you need to be in a better place. And now 43 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: a listener question. 44 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Family Like you, I am an avid traveler, but I 45 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: always like to learn from my fellow world warriors on 46 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: how they most optimize their time away from home. Can 47 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: you share a little bit about what some of your 48 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: must haves are when you're traveling, what bags you like 49 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: to use, things you like to bring along, and how 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: do you maintain a routine to stay with your nutrition 51 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: and fitness goals. 52 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Hey Jamie, good question traveling. I love to do it. 53 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I love to do it even more when it's not 54 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: for work. But I definitely have my travel go tos 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: on lock, so you ask me what my bags are currently, 56 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: I travel within a way bigger sized carry on which 57 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: fits in the overhead, which I feel like is something 58 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: that you need to know when you buy it. So 59 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: they have like the smaller carry on and then they 60 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: have the bigger size carry on and the bigger size 61 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: carry on works, so I use that one. I used 62 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: to have a black one. Let me recommend that if 63 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: you're interested in getting in a way bag, maybe consider 64 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: getting a different colored one because I find it so 65 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: much easy easier to know which away bag is my 66 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: away bag because I have a maroon colored one. I 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: literally used to open up the overhead bin and there 68 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: would be like twelve block away bags. So this way, 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: just for a little piece of mind, go color. You 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: won't regret it. My carry on, my small personal item 71 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: now is a Digny dover bag. I use the larger 72 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: land and carryall most often, but I actually recently bought 73 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: what I think is their diaper bag. I bought it 74 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: because I liked that it was rectangular in shape, so 75 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: it sits really nicely on top of my away suitcase. 76 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: So not only does it fit nicely on top, but 77 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: it also has that little sleeve that goes around the handles, 78 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: so when I'm kind of speeding through the airport, it 79 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: is just the perfect combo. And of course it fits 80 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: very nicely under the seat. When it comes to your 81 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: question about keeping my routine on the road, for me, 82 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: I always make sure two things. The first thing is 83 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: is I know what I want, hopefully in my workout 84 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: schedule to be so to speak, before I go. So 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: during marathon training season it can be a little bit different, 86 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: and that I'll have a certain amount of mileage that 87 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: I'll want to tackle. I'll be cognizant of that. When 88 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: it comes to booking, my travel plans, if my travel 89 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: plans are within my own power to book. But I'm 90 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: also recognizing that a few days away from whatever my 91 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: regular quote unquote routine is is not the end of 92 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the world. So yeah, the first thing is knowing what 93 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm aiming to do each day, and also doing a 94 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: little bit of research ahead of time, so I know 95 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: where I can go running if that's what's on the agenda. 96 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: The second thing I'll say is that it is okay 97 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: to deviate from the plan while you are traveling. It happens, 98 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: It happens to all of us, and your fitness will 99 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: still be there when you get home. So just because 100 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: you may not be doing what you're used to I e. 101 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: I gave that example of marathon training, that doesn't mean 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: that you can't find other ways to stay active while 103 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: you are on the road. What's that look like. That 104 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: could look like doing some sort of a walking tour. 105 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: It could look like doing a bike tour, like walking 106 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: to dinner instead of taking a car. There are so 107 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: many different options. But again, your best friend here, plan 108 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: ahead and you will be so so happy that you did. 109 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: That's it for this week. Make sure you're following along 110 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: with hurdle over on social welts at Hurdle podcast, I 111 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: am over at Emily a Body, another hurdle conquered.
