Oh well, hello there.

Oh man, Emily, about to hear coming into your feeds with another installment of Five

that Minute Friday and man, if my head could be, I don't think it's possible.

It is impossible for me to feel like my head's not more all over the place, but I am harnessing

the power of my go to marathon mantra, which has come back to calm as I gear up for marathon

number 10 New York City marathon number five, this coming Sunday.

It's interesting actually because there's a lot going on right now outside of the marathon,

although the marathon feels all consuming, and I think that this is a really special

moment to think about what that means for my life, right?

Being a runner, it's something very important to me.

I identify as a runner, but as I spoke about in my episodes on injury, as I've been dealing

with a little wonkiness for some time now, and thankfully in a healthy place to show

up on Sunday, but I am more than just a runner.

I'm also a host as you're listening to my voice on this podcast right now.

I am a friend, I am a daughter, I am so many things, and so I have this understanding

that although Sunday is a big moment for me, it is just a part of my story.

Speaking of the weekend, there are a lot of other things that are very important to

me that are going on this weekend that kind of go hand in hand with the other ways that

I identify mostly as a host.

So on today, today, so today, I have the opportunity to sit down with both Emily Sisson and Emma

Coburn, and then tomorrow, I have the opportunity to sit down with Shaline Flanagan.

I am going to be posting the Shaline episode to the feed on Tuesday, so don't freak out.
