5. Discovering My Limits at the New York City Marathon
<p>"Turning the corner onto Lafayette Avenue, I looked at my arm.</p> <p>It was covered in goosebumps for the sixth time in the last 50 minutes. I’d been counting. Two hours later, the pain had set in and I was incapable of thinking anything so small. At that moment, there were 26.2 miles of the New York Marathon behind and I was crossing the finish line in Central Park.</p> <p>It was a long time coming—eight months and three hours to be exact—of turning pain into more pain."</p> <p>This week, Kevin Bailie, former Queen's men's hockey goaltender, reads Managing Editor Matt Scace's "<a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2018-11-08/postscript/discovering-my-limits-at-the-new-york-city-marathon/">Discovering My Limits at the New York City Marathon</a>," published on Nov. 9, 2018.</p> <p>Host: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/claudia-rupnik/">Claudia Rupnik</a></p> <p>Producer: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/francesca-lim/">Francesca Lim</a></p> <p>Executive Producers: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/raechel-huizinga/">Raechel Huizinga</a> & <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/matt-scace/">Matt Scace</a></p>

4. Mental Health Matters Every Day Of the Year
<p>"I had the game of my life, scoring two tries to secure our ticket to nationals. When the final whistle blew, the score read 20-10 for Queen’s. Everyone was cheering and crying and bursting with excitement.</p> <p>But I felt nothing.</p> <p>In a moment where I would normally be overflowing with emotion — and embarrassingly drowning in a puddle of happy tears — I was numb. This is the most frustrating part about living with a mood disorder like depression."</p> <p>This week, Dan Valley, head coach of Queen's women's rugby, reads "<a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2018-02-02/sports/mental-health-matters-every-day-of-the-year/">Mental health matters every day of the year</a>," written by former Queen's women's rugby player, Nadia Popov. After reading Popov's story, Valley sits down with The Journal's Claudia Rupnik to talk about his time coaching Popov, as well as mental health in the sphere of athletics—and specifically how it's played out during COVID-19.</p> <p>Host: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/claudia-rupnik/">Claudia Rupnik</a></p> <p>Producer: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/francesca-lim/">Francesca Lim</a></p> <p>Executive Producers: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/raechel-huizinga/">Raechel Huizinga</a> & <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/matt-scace/">Matt Scace</a></p> <p>Music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6nV4XbMDvLFRLvaIYhs4mq?si=-CinjnuqSFefBBE5V7POkw">July for the Whole Year - Devon Cole</a></p>

3. Entering the Lion’s Den of Residential Kingston
<p>"Getting too comfortable in your environment is a sin. After a run-in with a local Kingston resident, I realized that’s for good reason.</p> <p>After three years in Kingston, I’ll admit my cockiness has the tendency to get the better of me. I tend to forget I live in a real town and not a student jungle gym. My most recent wake-up call involved a pylon, a Fiat, and an angry, elderly Kingstonian."</p> <p>This week, Evelyn Poole (she/her), 4th year LifeSci student, former ArtSci orientation week coordinator and former leader at Get REAL Queen’s, reads "<a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2019-01-17/postscript/entering-the-lions-den-of-residential-kingston/">Entering the Lion’s Den of residential Kingston</a>," a postscript from January, 2019, by Jamie Urbanek.</p> <p>Host: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/claudia-rupnik/">Claudia Rupnik</a></p> <p>Producer: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/francesca-lim/">Francesca Lim</a></p> <p>Executive Producers: <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/raechel-huizinga/">Raechel Huizinga</a> & <a href="https://www.queensjournal.ca/author/matt-scace/">Matt Scace</a></p> <p>Music: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6nV4XbMDvLFRLvaIYhs4mq?si=-CinjnuqSFefBBE5V7POkw">"July for the Whole Year" - Devon Cole</a></p>
