Hey, everybody. Emily, a body here. You are listening to a five minute Friday from Hurtle.

I, oh my god, my head is in a thousand places. I have, let's see, it's Friday. I leave for London

next Thursday. I run a marathon there next Sunday. I then hopefully am able to walk. Okay,

as I travel to Paris and enjoy Paris for a few days with one of my good friends. And then I come

home for a night to New York. I fly to Chicago. I'll be in Chicago supporting all of you marathoners

that might be there running. I will be hosting an event with Tracksmith. I'll link the info to that

in the show notes. But yeah, there's a lot going on. And it is, it's finally hitting me. It's,

it's hitting me. I'm running a marathon next week. And I suppose that I, it hasn't hit me up

until this point because of what I've been navigating with my body. So because what would a

London marathon training cycle be for me without a little bit of wonkiness? If you weren't a listener

last year and you are a Hurtler now, firstly, thank you. Happy you're here. Welcome. But I trained for

the London marathon last year. And what ended up happening was during my final long run, I strained

my so as. And that was so uncomfortable and painful that I had to withdraw from the marathon. So

for me, this has truly been a redemption training cycle. It's been an opportunity for me

to finally do this thing, this bucket list race that has been on my radar for some time. And

generally speaking, the training has been going quite well. Now we are, what is this? 7, 8, 9, 10 days out.

9 days out by the time this comes out. And I'm dealing with a little bit of tendinitis in my knee,

really like under my knee. My physical therapist who you will be hearing from next week on the show.

And on that note, to that effect, if you have a specific question that you would like, Luke,

my PT to answer, we are all ears and we want to help you. So if you click in the show notes, it says,

leave me a voice message. I can guarantee you that your question will get answered if you leave

me a voice message again. But opportunity to do that is it's right here for you. It's in the show
