I think we just again need to listen to disabled people when we're saying that something is inaccessible.

I remember I went to a theater before the pandemic and I asked where like the accessible

handicap accessible bathroom was and at first they didn't know and then they told me it was across

the street in like a building four floors up. And I'm like I can walk across the street.

Right. I'm like well there's several problems with this. One, there should be one here. I don't understand why there isn't. Two, yes, I'm a disabled person who can walk, but there are many disabled people who can't. And you're telling them they have to go across the street to the bathroom in a span of like, what, 10 minutes in his intermission? Like, not realizing that that is a problem is the problem in itself. I think that they need to listen and to kind of really be willing to change. I think we're just still, society's very stubborn and doesn't want to change. Doesn't want to adapt. And it's kind of like enough is enough. We need to start adapting. It's more than just your output, more than a bike.

When you hear your shout out, you know it's all right.

Put on your magic pants and let's go.

We're cruising into the power zone.

Welcome to the Clip Out podcast, episode 257.

This is Crystal O'Keefe.

And this is Tom O'Keefe. Why, hello. Well, hello. We haven't really talked yet. I know. It's another one of those days. It is. Run in and sit right down and start the show. So, yes. Speaking of running. Yeah. You've been doing a lot of that lately. I have. Yeah. I mean, not compared to a lot of people. Well, yes. There are people that run more.

I talk to people like all day long that are like, oh, yeah, I'm going to pair my mileage back to 30 miles this week. So my mileage last week was like nine miles. But that's a lot. For me, it's a lot. Yeah. You've been trying to up your speed. I have, yeah. I have this kind of like hope that maybe I'll get to a point where I feel comfortable enough like saying, okay, I'm training for a marathon. I haven't quite pulled the trigger on that. But I am working on improving my speed. So that's been my goal. So I'm kind of like in this place where I go back and forth between a strength workout and then doing a run. And so I have my speed day and I have my mid run, like my mid distance run day. And then I have like my long run day. So that's what I'm working on right now and you've been getting faster already I have yeah I was like about up 15

minute miles and already gotten to 14 minute miles hey you're moving the ball forward I am I am

it's crazy how much I have to really push myself to be able to get faster. It's,

it's such a weird thing because, like, I feel like I'm going so fast and I'm not. Such a strange

thing. And I've ended up taking a lot of Susie Chan classes, which I have to recommend to people if you haven't

gotten a chance to take classes with Susie, you need to do that. She's so fun. She's so accessible.
