When I stopped believing the story that I was telling myself and started to realize what was

really happening in front of my eyes, what I was really capable of, that's when all of the

doors open.

That's when I embraced my full potential.

Hey, Hurtlers, Emily Abadi, popping into your feed with another installment of Hurtle moment from Hurtle. A wellness-focused podcast where I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about

everything from their greatest wins to how they've gotten through some of life's toughest moments.

I have some newbies to the show this week. So just a recap. On Mondays, typically, I'm sitting down

with a guest and bringing you their stories. And on Wednesday, I bring you hurdle moment.

Now, hurdle moment is where things get a little bit more granular. These are quick hitting episodes

where I'm talking to you about things that are resonating with me. Maybe it's questions

that are coming through my Instagram DMs and you can always reach out to me. It's at Emily Abadi

or at Hurtle podcast. I'm checking in on both. Or maybe the topic is something I'm dealing with as an

entrepreneur or just a woman living in New York City trying to figure it all out. Today, I'm bringing you eight life

lessons I've learned from running eight marathons. And now these can definitely be applicable

to both runners and non-runners. You don't need to be lacing up every day and logging all those

miles to benefit from the knowledge and worth that I have gained from the last

seven years, my first marathon back on October 12th, 2013 in Hartford, Connecticut. I am certainly a

different person from that first race. And I can honestly say that running has made me a better person.

It's helped me come into my own.

It's taught me so many lessons.
