Hey everyone, Emily about to hear you are listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle.

You know, I did a lot of good work getting ahead for my trip away.

If you've been following along on social or listening to the show, then you may know that

I am actually leaving Paris today to head back to, well toward home.

I'm coming to Chicago for the marathon, not to run it, but to host a live podcast in the

morning on Saturday with Tracksmith. It is sold out. However, the next thing I'm

post podcast hurdle meetup is going to be because I know that there are a few people that wanted to

get in that didn't get tickets. So stay tuned and make sure you check in over on my Instagram

It'll be probably around like 10 30 in the morning or so in Chicago, not far from where the

podcast is at Chicago Athletic Association. Anyway, like I was saying, I did a pretty stellar job

in Milan and then I went to Florence. I did a day trip. AKA, I rented my first car internationally

and drove to Cortona, which is where they filmed under the Tuscan sun. I say bird a bottle of

champagne. Then I left Florence for Paris. I've been in Paris for a few days now since Tuesday.

If you're listening to this on Friday, October 8th, and yeah, that's kind of the

gist of it. And I did that because again, even following on a home, which I know you have,

I pulled an audible ongoing the London when I started to feel a nagging pain in my hip area,

abdomen area, knowing that running that marathon would not serve me and could put me at risk for

more injury. And I decided to go to Italy instead. Okay, now you are all cut up to speed. Well,
