you have to have some grace.

Listen, none of us have ever dealt with a time like this.

So the fact that you are motivated, you're getting up, you're getting out, you're lacing up, and you're giving it your all, that is a pretty impressive accomplishment within itself.

Hey, hurdlers, Emily Abadi here bringing you another installment of Hurtle moment from Hurtle.

This week, I am bringing you another installment of Hurtle moment from Hurtle. This week, I am bringing you the lessons I learned from actually executing a virtual race. It's something that I told myself

I wasn't going to do. But then when the challenge presented itself, I just couldn't hold back. And so I, a couple

weeks back, did the virtual seaweed half marathon. And I have some takeaways to offer you. Spoiler

alert, it was my fastest half marathon ever with a time of 14305. That's a 752 average pace.

Although after the fact, and I'll touch on this in today's episode, my Strava adjusted and told me that I actually ran 13.52 miles at a 740 pace. So God knows what's really going on here. I guess this is part

of the frustrations of virtual racing. Anyway, bringing you my lessons today for Hurtle moment. As always,

if you have a Hurtle moment of your own or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out to me over

email. It's Emily at Hurtle.us. I'm also curious if you are virtual racing, if you're not virtual racing,

do you think that these are fun? Do you think that these are lame? I want to know. So feel

free to tag me or DM me at Emily Abadi or at Hurdle podcast. And one last request for

this hurdle moment Wednesday. We are in September

and I still want to keep this push of ratings and reviews alive. So if you could just do me this

one solid, head on into the iTunes store, rate and review the show. If you have yet to do so,

it means the world to me and it helps hurdle, move up the

charts, get new eyes on it, all the things, which gives me all the feels. Thank you for being a part

of my community. And with that, let's get to hurtling. I would like to think that I am a pretty self-motivated person. I'm a morning person, although some days I might feel groggy.

I have like no problem getting up, getting out, running on the days that kind of feel like I don't want to, just because I truly believe

and understand that I'm going to feel better after that effort, after that jumpstart to my day.
