Hello, hi, Emily here.

Hello. Hi, Emily here.

I'm feeling silly today. I'm feeling silly today because I have been working on a project. I have made this project the monster for months now. To be specific, I'm working on a speaking reel and I needed to like sit down and

storyboard it and think about what I wanted it to say and find examples. And I just have not put in

the time for this. And I'm finally putting in the time for it. And I'm proud of myself. But my brain

feels like mush on that note, aside from working on

this reel, the other thing that I am just inundated with is the fact that I am running a

marathon next weekend. You've heard me talk about it incessantly here, so I'm going to do that.

I won't even say for the last time because I'm sure I'm going to talk about it some more.

But today, this whole episode is me answering a five-minute Friday question. This one comes

from Shea from New York City. She says, love your show so much. And I miss the solo Wednesday

episodes. Any chance you bring them back. Fun fact, I'm going to have a solo to kick off next week. So stay tuned for that. But if you also feel this way, always, I love your feedback. Just like you can email me a listener question over to hello at hurdle.us. You can always email me there with whatever, your thoughts, your feelings, your concerns, I will see them. Anyway,

Shea writes, I have a question for a five-minute Friday. How do you feel going into Chicago

Marathon weekend? You announced a big goal early in your training, and I'd love to hear some

reflections from you. What was the hardest part of training? What did you do differently this time around? Would

you do that again? Other than your A goal, what would make you feel accomplished? Where do you feel most

confident? How do you feel in your body? How are you passing the time on your taper? Well,

there's a lot of questions here, Shea. I'm being honest. Really would love to hear anything you'd be

willing to share. Thanks so much and wishing you the

absolute best day out there on the 12th. Eke Shea. Thanks, Shea. This is fun. I don't think I'm

going to answer every single one of those questions, but I am holistically going to give you a

pulse check on where I'm at. And I do write a little bit about this in the weekly hurdle
