0:00.0	Another day is here where we can talk about life.
0:06.2	Welcome to episode eight of the Run, Selfie Repeat podcast, where we talk about life with a side of running.
0:12.9	I'm your lady host, Kelly Roberts, and today I want to talk about getting comfortable being uncomfortable because I think it's probably
0:25.3	one of my favorite things to love to hate.
0:29.7	Because I love chaos.
0:31.5	And that sounds really stupid to say out loud and admit to you.
0:35.7	But I really sometimes rely on stress to like light my creative
0:39.6	fire, which isn't healthy. And that adrenaline that I get from like trying to crank out
0:47.1	something before a deadline isn't sustainable. But I'm kind of dependent on overloading myself
0:52.9	because it gives me an excuse to say no to the

1:41.0	moving so fast and I blink in a month's gone by, like things are going well, which a lot of times they are, like things are fine, but I'm definitely not, I'm not stepping outside of my comfort zone in the way that I should be, which is why I love BQ robust, because it's it for the first time since running my first marathon is something that I'm working towards that like I honest to goodness
2:03.2	do not know how to do. Does that make sense? It's every day is a new opportunity to kind of
2:13.2	redefine my strength and to step outside of my comfort zone because I'm doing things that I
