Hello, hello. Emily, about here coming into your feeds with five minute Friday from

hurdle. This has been a week filled with a lot of unexpected things, notably my little bike crash

on Monday, which I wrote about intake today's installment of the weekly hurdle newsletter. I'm sitting

here and my shoulder feels off. I'm like teetering between getting an MRI and waiting for some more

healing time and as much as it does feel a little bit like I can't get a break here between the

foot and the shoulder. I have perspective and I'm grateful for that. I'm also really, really excited

and this is what I want to talk about today, mostly about the safety and numbers event that I'm

hosting on Wednesday, November 2nd at MoMA PS1 with different leaders in the New York City running

community to talk about how we can make strides toward a safer tomorrow. It's arguably the

biggest, let's call it, hurdle event I've ever thrown. I've spoken in front of large groups of

people for different hosting opportunities, but never have I conducted a discussion in a room

that fills a little more than 200 people. It's interesting for me because in putting this together,

I realized that this is going to be the first time that a lot of my peers, people that I see

regularly come together to see me do what I do. I'm awkwardly smiling talking about this,

but also feeling like a little anxiousness in my chest. It's definitely unique. It's definitely

different. It's definitely intimidating, but it makes me feel very sure and also very responsible

about the nature of this conversation. I always, always, always take what I do seriously, but it does

feel a little bit different to think about the fact that this room of my peers and people in my

community, this conversation that we're having, it's just on a different level. It's of a different

importance, and it's something that I truly feel in my heart that I'm ready for, and like I said,

I'm excited for it. To those of you that are in the New York area, I highly encourage you to come.

The capacity is what the capacity is, so hopefully there are some more tickets if you're listening to
