| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everyone? Emily Abadi here. You are listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. |
| 0:27.0 | Oh my gosh. I have been digesting how I feel after last night's safety and numbers panel all day |
| 0:35.3 | today. If you ask me how it went, I would tell you it went quite well and I'm typically my biggest |
| 0:43.8 | critic. It felt so surreal to have such a beautiful gathering of people in the community to talk about |
| 0:53.7 | something that frustrates so many of us, the issues that we're dealing with when it comes to safety |
| 1:02.8 | in running. And we chatted so much about so many different things ranging from tools that we can |

| 2:15.6 | frustrated already, but feel frustrated about feel so frustrated that the thing that makes me feel |
| 2:22.4 | good in my body for the most part running. That thing is taken away from me because of so many |
| 2:29.5 | things outside of my control. I mean, just this morning, there was news of a woman that was attacked |
| 2:36.2 | and raped running in the morning on the west side highway. It's one of the most popular running |
| 2:41.2 | paths in New York City just today. The morning after we gathered and talked about what can we do to |
