Summary
What. A. Time. Popping in with a recap from my recent race in Berlin, in which I completed my fifth marathon major in 3:58:43. So amped on this, a major comeback from injury, and such a special moment for me personally after a difficult couple years.
I share what I take into consideration for traveling to run an international race, the precautions I took from the beginning of the year to battle plantar fasciitis and train for this safely, how I worked with my expert team (podiatrist, physical therapist, acupuncturist), and so much more. Plus: The lowdown on what exactly went down during the race on September 24, what it felt like to pace someone else to their big goal, and the ever-lovely answer to the "what's next?" question.

| 0:00.0 | the journey here is the destination. The journey to Berlin was the destination for me. Learning how |
| 0:06.3 | to prioritize my own health and wellbeing, how to set boundaries, how to listen to my body, |
| 0:10.9 | how to invest in my body so that my body could show up for me. The journey is the destination, |
| 0:16.1 | and that is exactly what happened for me over the last three months. |
| 0:30.4 | Hey everybody, Emily Abadi here. You were listening to a very special episode of Hurdle. A wellness |
| 0:42.5 | focus podcast where I connect with everyone from your favorite athletes to top experts and |
| 0:46.8 | industry CEOs about their highest highs, toughest moments and everything in between. We all go through |
| 0:53.2 | hurdles in life, and my goal through these discussions is to empower you to better navigate yours |
| 0:58.5 | and move with intention so that you can strive toward your own big potential. And of course, |
| 1:04.5 | have some fun along the way. When I say a special episode, it's because this has been a long |
| 1:12.5 | time coming. Berlin marathon recap, baby. To this day, if someone comes up to me and they tell me |
| 1:19.2 | that a specific episode is their favorite, it's nine times out of ten the Chicago Marathon |
| 1:25.4 | recap episode and a that makes my heart warm and fuzzy. But b, I think it's because it was just |
| 1:34.6 | so unfiltered and on my part, so unexpected what happened that day for those of you that are |
| 1:41.4 | unfamiliar. I'm going to link that episode in the show notes. I highly encourage you to go check |
| 1:46.4 | it out. Not you don't need to be a fan of running. You just need to be a fan of going after a |
| 1:51.6 | crazy dream and seeing it throughout. I digress. So I'm excited to be laying here in this bed |
| 1:59.9 | now in Florence. Italy, I'm about to log off as soon as I get this up for y'all. But in the mean |
| 2:06.9 | time, I wanted to make sure that I sat down with this microphone ASAP. And this is the first time |
| 2:14.0 | I've had some solos time really since crossing that finish line in Berlin. I ran the Berlin Marathon |
| 2:22.8 | on Sunday, September 24th in three hours, 58 minutes, and 43 seconds. And I could not be |
| 2:35.0 | prouder for so many reasons that I will get to in this episode. I'm going to break down |
