| 0:00.0 | Hey, hurdlers, Emily Abadi here. |
| 0:21.7 | Season 17, what's good? |
| 0:24.8 | Loved kicking off a new season with Lindsay Horan earlier this week. |
| 0:29.9 | If you haven't listened to that episode, I would encourage you to do so because there may or may not be a shoe giveaway in the intro. And you have until, |
| 0:39.7 | if you're listening to this in real time, 12 p.m. Eastern on Friday, May 10th to enter. So go on |
| 0:46.9 | and check out that episode. And maybe you could win a fresh pair of kicks. But it's five |
| 0:53.1 | minute Friday. And let me tell you, y'all don't message |
| 0:56.6 | me about anything during the season break, aside from the fact that you miss five minute Friday. |
| 1:01.7 | And I adore you for that. I love that you want me to check in. And it feels good for me to check in, |
| 1:06.7 | too. This week, I want to talk about asking for what you need. I am entirely guilty of wanting |

| 1:33.3 | launched a campaign with Birkenstock on Thursday last night. It actually, the video and the |
| 1:39.8 | entirety of the campaign comes out at the end of the month, but we had an event for that. |
| 1:49.7 | And then next week, I'm heading to L.A. and I'm hosting this huge event for Strava that I'm so excited about. And then at the end of the month, I'm heading to Denver to do some more hosting |
| 1:56.9 | alongside a big climbing athlete for the debut of her new documentary. There's a lot |
| 2:04.2 | going on, right? And in the chaos, I have realized that I need to ask for help. And it's not |
| 2:12.5 | necessarily with really large things. It's something simple like, hey, I could use another 24 hours on this |
| 2:19.1 | deadline. Or, hey, I could really use an accountability buddy in the morning. How would you feel |
| 2:24.8 | if we went on a run together, knowing that I want to get in a run? And the two examples I gave |
| 2:31.0 | just now, it's really small stuff, right? It's not like, hey, I would love it |
| 2:36.0 | if you could help me write this speech or it would mean a lot to me if you would do, oh my God, |
