Hey everyone, Emily Abadi here for another installment of Five Minute Friday from Hurtle.

This week it will be Five Minute Friday, it will not be 20 minute Friday.

It is so crazy, like how much can happen within a week, right?

So to catch up this bead last Friday for the episode, I came out and talked to you all

about navigating a little bit of injury and a week later a lot has changed.

Some of it, most of it I would say, for the better, although not all of these decisions

were easy.

So I withdrew my entry from the London marathon, I got that entry through new balance and

one of my biggest fears in withdrawing this entry is that the London marathon is notoriously

really difficult to get into.

I was really sad thinking about the fact that this injury may have cost me like my one shot

at running this race.

The good news I talked to my friends at new balance, it seems as though I will be able

to run again, run it period next year.

So at least there's that, but I withdrew my entry and about an hour later, I was on

the phone with Lisa from Delta looking into flights to Mon and I cried with Lisa from Delta

plus her and had to cough up a little bit more money, but was able to tack on a little

bit of Italy to my now upcoming Euro trips.

So I'm heading to Italy next week, midweek, I will be there until the following Tuesday

then I hop from Italy to Paris and then I hop from Paris to Chicago, we're on Saturday

morning quick plug.

I'll be hosting a live hurdle with my friends at Tracksmith at the Chicago Athletic Association
