| 0:00.0 | All right, you guys. It's going to be a long run episode of me and my new friend, Emily Helen, who is an awesome trail runner, multiple time hard rock finisher. Very, very accomplishment around for a while. |
| 0:13.0 | She just wrote a book and it's called To the Gorge, |

| 0:18.9 | Four hundred and sixty miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. This is Emily's story of her FKT attempt on the Oregon section of the PCT |
| 0:30.5 | and also her reflection on her mom. Her mom's life with her. Her mom |
| 0:36.0 | unfortunately died from a rare form of uterine cancer and she kind of talked |
| 0:41.2 | a little bit about a lot about her mom while she's running this and she raised money for rare cancer research on her run. |
| 0:51.0 | It's a really, really good story and it's coming out on the seventh. I got an advanced copy which I |
| 0:57.7 | rifled through. There's also some very good dog content at the end, so for the dog lovers out there you get a lot of dog stuff. |
| 1:05.2 | There's some dog stuff in this interview as well. My dog's very sad right now. She just got |

| 1:49.4 | I'll send you two buffs. |
| 1:50.9 | We like to support people. |
| 1:52.0 | We want more books to be written. I think that it's really, really good that we support these authors and these publishing houses and what we want them to say is let's have more people write adventure books and let's have more |
| 2:04.3 | adventure book writers on the show. |
