| 0:00.0 | Woohoo! Welcome to the St. Markle Playback House. We are so happy to be with you today. |
| 0:04.3 | We're mixing it up. It's Friday. It's a Friday. We're almost to the freaking weekend. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm not real pumped about that except I have like six meetings to go until the freaking weekend. |
| 0:11.8 | So it still feels like it's, I don't quite hear the cheers of the finish line yet, |
| 0:15.6 | but I'm getting there. Six meetings is a lot of meetings. I have one meeting that's like on the |
| 0:18.9 | calendar for 4 p.m. sometimes and I'm just like oh my god I have to get on the phone. I don't know |
| 0:24.3 | how you do it. It must be pretty stressful. Sometimes I feel like actually when you have |
| 0:27.6 | that many meetings they just kind of like all flow together. So I very much had those days where |
| 0:31.4 | I only have like one or two meetings and they become I'm like I have a meeting today. What is |
| 0:35.7 | going on? So I feel like they just kind of all flow together and I get implausied with them. |
| 0:39.2 | You guys like if you're always walking across hot calls, hot calls don't really bother you anymore. |
| 0:43.7 | I'm just like I guess this is my life. It just becomes normal but we kicked off the day today |
| 0:47.4 | and it was so fun. We've had we've been in a groove of doing our Friday family shuffle |
| 0:51.2 | led by our fearless leader Addy Dog and I'm just like I'm really feeling those vibes. I actually |
| 0:56.7 | Addy's leadership style is kind of interesting. She just alternates between like 12-minute pace |
| 1:01.0 | and six-minute pace and just keeps us on our toes the entire time. It is a little good |
| 1:04.8 | a good part like but that being said she is nine years old. So the six-minute pace sections are |
| 1:09.3 | pretty limited nowadays I would say. That being said she also has like a really good cadence |
| 1:14.4 | which is very good for us to key off of. Like Addy always is pitter-pattering really fast. |
| 1:18.6 | Whereas on shuffles I sometimes start to like slog so Addy is bringing that good coaching vibe too. |
| 1:24.9 | I actually think she reserves her six-minute pace for when she passes us. She passes us at a |
| 1:29.1 | hard six-minute pace and then immediately slows down to 12-minute pace and that's kind of her jam. |
