We're in the season thirteen groove. I 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: have been all over the place, that's an understatement. I'm 11 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: currently in Boston here for a bunch of fun things 12 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: this marathon weekend. If you are going to be in 13 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 1: Boston this weekend, I hope to see you at one 14 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: of the two events I'm hosting, firstly with four pm 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: Friday and then secondly with Brooks at ten thirty on Saturday. 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have links and info for both of those 17 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: things in my story on Instagram, so make sure you 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: check that out over at Emily A Body. 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: But I digress. 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: A lot's been going on, and I feel truly fortunate 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: that I've been able to really have a great mix 22 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: of business and pleasure while being out of my normal routine. 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: I was able to travel with one of my dear 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: friends over to Paris, and we had such such such 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: an amazing time. Feels like such a major understatement saying 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: it that way, but was so lucky just to have 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: my friend Ashley in tow and then another girlfriend came 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: to meet up as well, and then beyond that, really 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: appreciated having a downbeat in New York to kind of 30 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: come back to calm myself and check myself with some 31 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: of my routines and my practices and do a little, 32 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, a little me time, which was really really 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: necessary now during my me time this week, And that's 34 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about really in five Minute 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Friday today. I went to the class on Monday. For 36 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: those of you that have never heard of the class 37 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: or are not familiar, it is. It's a cardio in 38 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: strength pilates inspired workout that is a little odd. 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: It is not lost on me that it's a little odd. 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: It's really about moving energy and it's kind of crazy 41 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: because you do the same movement for an entire song. 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: I swear that if Sarah Jusca Parker ever worked out 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: in Sex and the City, she would have gone to 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: the class because it is truly just such a new 45 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: York experience, you do the same movement for an entire song. 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: So the entire class is doing like jumping jacks or burpies, 47 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: or some sort of bar or pilates inspired movement like 48 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: a leg kick or clamshell, and then there are different 49 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: opportunities throughout all of this movement, prompted through really beautiful 50 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: words from the instructors meditations even to introduce sound into 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: the mix. So at the top of the birkie like 52 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: you would go through the move and at the top 53 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you would like oh and grunt. 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: And even talking about it sounds absolutely bizarre. 55 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: But I went to the class on Monday, and the 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: class can have different aspects of jumping. And because I'm 57 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: still on this healing train with my foot, it's never ending, 58 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: but I'm still on the healing train with my foot, 59 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: and so I am always conscious of that and modifying 60 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: when I need to. 61 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: And so I decided to modify. 62 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: After you know, a minute and a half of jumping jacks, 63 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: I decided to vary the movement. And I was the 64 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: only person in the class that was varying the movement. 65 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: And my first reaction to that was, oh, my god, 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: everyone's looking at me. Oh my god, I'm the oddball. 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is so awkward. And then once 68 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: I let those thoughts pass, I got to this point 69 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: where I realized, no one's looking at me. This is 70 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: only awkward if you make it awkward. And then I 71 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: asked further, how do you feel in this moment? And 72 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: in that moment, despite having to choose a different path, 73 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: having to do something a little bit different, being quote 74 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: unquote the odd ball, I felt so happy to be 75 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: in that room, to be moving my body, to be 76 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: back in my groove, you know. And it was a 77 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: really important reminder for me because I think often it's 78 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: easy for us to get caught up in the story 79 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: that we're telling ourselves, and oftentimes something is only a 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: big deal if we make it out to be a 81 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: big deal. In that moment, what I was doing was 82 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: I was doing what I needed to do for my body. 83 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: I was filling up my cup. So truly, who cares 84 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: what anybody else thinks? Right, It's not always easy to 85 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: choose that path, but when you do, when you get 86 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: out of your own head, you get out of your 87 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: own way, then you can see how beautiful that opportunity 88 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: really is. So my thought prompt for you this week 89 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: is what are you in your head about? What are 90 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: you getting down on yourself about for absolutely no reason? 91 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: And can you have a little bit more grace? What 92 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: are you in your head about? And how can you 93 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: have some more grace with yourself? And now a listener question. 94 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: Hey, Emily, this is Abby from southeastern Idaho. Been a 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: longtime listener of the Hurdle podcast, so thank you for 96 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: your wonderful content. I am getting over a season of 97 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: a lack of running in my life and I'm looking 98 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: forward to a half marathon this fall. I am going 99 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: to use a Nike Training Club program with Coach Bennett. 100 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: But I have a good seven weeks until that program starts, 101 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: and I've kind of been that let's start over with 102 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: running phase. Any recommendations of what to do over the 103 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: next seven to eight weeks while I ramp up to 104 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 3: that program anyway, would love to hear your thoughts. Also, 105 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: would love it if you did a live in Salt 106 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: Lake City or Boise. Would totally drive either way. Thanks, 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: and keep up with five Minute Friday. 108 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: You know I love me a training plan with Coach Bennett. 109 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: If you have missed Coach Bennett on the show he's 110 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: been on twice. I'm going to link his episodes in 111 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: these show notes. They are a must listen. But when 112 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: it comes to what you should be doing for the 113 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: next seven weeks, ask yourself what feels right to you 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: now foundationally, and the trainer in me, the run coach 115 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: in me, would encourage you to make sure that you 116 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: are donating time and giving your attention to the muscles 117 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: that you're about to be taxing, perhaps more regularly. So 118 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: what work are you doing for your post he or 119 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: your chain. Are you taking care of your body strengthening 120 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: yourself to provide a solid foundation for what you're about 121 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: to go through. That would be the first thing I 122 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: would encourage you. 123 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: To think about. 124 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: But other than that, right now, we all know if 125 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: you're a runner, you know that training, training season, training 126 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: plans can definitely get draining after a little while. So 127 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: what do you need to do to fill up your 128 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: own cup? Instead of shooting yourself, instead of comparing whatever 129 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: you have going on right now to when anybody else 130 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: has going on, what feels right for you and your body? 131 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: Answer that question honestly, be honest with yourself, and trust me, 132 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: you won't regret it. 133 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 2: Have some fun. 134 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Okay, that's my biggest advice, have some fun.
