Speaker 1: move with intention, and have some fun along the way.

00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: And fun and intention are exactactly what this snippet of

13
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: an episode is about. Now. If you follow me on Instagram,

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: over at Emily a Body or at Hurdle podcast, you

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: know that I am an avid runner, but I haven't

16
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: always been that way. These days, I'm doing something that

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: has been deemed the lace up very often and it's

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: pretty simple. I literally put down my cell phone. It

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: sounds silly every time I say this out loud. Put

20
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: down my cell phone, sit on a small pillow, tie

21
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: my shoes on camera, post it to social media and

22
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: head out for a run. It's just that simple. Usually

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: I tag it with some music, maybe a thought or

24
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: feeling about where I'm at, and that's it. It's become

25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: something that warms my heart when I see other people

26
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: posting their lace ups, getting up, getting out and again

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: moving with intention, and that's what it's all about. So

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: this week, in honor of Hurdle's one hundredth episode, I

29
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: am issuing it to you, the lace Up Challenge. That's right.

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I want everyone everywhere listening to this in this time

31
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: where everything feels uncertain and we're just looking for a

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: little bit of community wherever we can get it, to

33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: post a lace up of their own. Now, before I

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: get into the logistics, I just want you to understand

35
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: why this means so much to me, why every single

36
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: lace up makes a difference. When I started running back

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: in college over ten years ago, I hated it. I

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: felt like it was so difficult. I felt as though

39
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I was awful at it. At the time, I was

40
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: working at a summer camp and so I didn't have

41
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: any other option except really to try running. There was

42
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: no big box gym, no Planet Fitness, no elliptical for me.

43
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: To hop on mindlessly for forty five minutes. So how

44
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: I really got in to running was literally lacing up

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: every single day and going out for fourteen minutes. I'd

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: run the same route every single day, and every single

47
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: day I felt better for it. Listen, some lace ups

48
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: are going to be better than others. But what's important

49
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: is that you're sitting down and you're lacing up in

50
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: the first place. That summer of lacing up for those

51
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: fourteen minute runs, it changed my life forever. Now I

52
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: sit here talking into this microphone as an eight time

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: marathon or someone who has gained so much value and

54
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: perspective just by getting out there in the first place.

55
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: And so thus I present you in celebration of episode

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: one hundred, the lace Up Challenge. Now Here is how

57
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: it's going to work. There are two rules. The first

58
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: rule you must tag at Emily Body and at Hurdle

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Podcast as well as hashtag hashtag the lace Up hashtag

60
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the lace Up Challenge now before you post, invite at

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: least two friends to join you in the Laceup Challenge

62
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: by tagging them in your video. As far as what

63
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: you're lacing up for, it can be literally anything. Maybe

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: you're putting on sneakers to do some burpees inside of

65
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: your apartment. Maybe you're going out for a run. Maybe heck,

66
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: no sneakers at all, You're just putting on socks and

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: doing some sort of bar workout or body weight squats

68
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: or whatever it is that you want. The only thing

69
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: that matters in the Lace Up Challenge is that you

70
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: are getting ready to move with intention, whatever that movement

71
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: might be. Everyone who posts this video will be entered

72
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: to win an outstanding prize pack details in the description

73
