Before we begin, I want to thank the sponsor of today's episode, Pro Compression.

Coined the best compression socks you'll ever wear, they're a big part of my running, my lifting, as well as my recovery.

For those unfamiliar with compression socks and the value that they bring to your fitness journey,

you know, they're known for a few things. One, alleviating swelling

and soreness after a workout, boosting blood flow, energy, and also enhancing performance

and recovery. So being as into fitness as I am, become a big part of my routine, and I'm

happy to pass that along to you guys. I've teamed up with them.

They're currently offering 40% off their entire website. If you use the code EP40, the website

is pro-compression.com. And again, the code is EP40.

everyone was kind of doing their thing. I just remember

thinking how funny it was that in that, you know, that one second glance that happens between two

people as they pass one another, that no one I was passing knew how awful I felt. And they'd never

know.

It felt odd to me that so much hurt could be hidden in plain sight.
