Maybe Less Really Is More
Yesterday I asked if you all remember the 1990s, and apparently you do. (That will bode well for those of you who will be attending TriviaFest tomorrow night.) What a hilarious decade. Jelly shoes? Trolls? “Blossom!” Lisa Frank? All great things. But then the debate arose: I got a lot of responses, so thank you […]
I Love Sweat & The 1990s
Well hello. Happy Tuesday. I’ll be straight with you this morning: The only two things I am capable of thinking about of discussing are marathon training and Thursday’s Run For The Rabbit event. I have a one track mind this week. Or I guess…two track mind? Are marathon training and Run For The Rabbit two […]
Flying Through The Air With A Mediocre Amount Of Ease
Hello from the highway. I’m headed back to NYC on the lovely Hamptons Jitney right now. It’s this nice little bus where they bring you snacks and bottled water. You may be thinking, “Oh hey, cool, Ali, did you enjoy a nice day on the beach out in the Hamptons? Or perhaps you went out […]
I’m Marathon Obsessed
When August 1 hit, everyone was all, “OMG, it’s already August, I can’t believe it, summer is over, I’m crying sad tears, boo end of summer, wah wah wah.” I do not feel that way. I’m a little surprised that August seemed to arrive so quickly, but I’m fine with it. This summer has been […]
Thankful Things Thursday: On Being Tired But Perky
I’m so sleepy. Turns out, averaging 5 hours of sleep a night will catch up with you. But who cares that I’m tired? I mean really. A former boss once shared an article with me called “No One Cares How Tired You Are.” So true. Everyone is tired all the time. Welcome to adulthood. With […]
A Kick In The Butt
I told myself I would get more sleep this week. So far: Fail. Really big fail. I’m running on 4 hours of sleep and I’m going to go ahead and say it was totally worth it. Did I was my hair this morning? No. But I got it wet and blow-dried it and that’s about […]
18 Miles
Before I started training for the Hamptons Marathon, my seasoned runner friends warned me: “Marathon training takes over your life.” That warning never scared me. And now, with fewer than two months left until marathon day (September 24!), I can happily and confidently say I am in love with marathon training. I’m finding training to […]
Friday Morning Fail
I slept in a full 2.5 hours past my alarm this morning. Oops. Apparently I was tired. And now I’m going to take a tap class. Check back later. I have a feeling it’s going to be an interesting day.
Thankful Things Thursday: Sweating With Friends. Also, More Puppies.
Oh heeeeey. Today, as you know, I bring you Thankful Things Thursday. I have nothing pithy to say to kick this off, so let’s just bang it out. That’s what she said. BOOM. I’m thankful my knee isn’t hurting today. I did a TRX class at the gym last night, which probably wasn’t necessary, but […]
Knee Pain… But Also, Puppies!!!
Today we’re going to talk about puppies. You know why? Because it’s Wednesday. And who gets excited about Wednesday? But first, a few other things… As you may recall, I went for a run yesterday morning. I did 6.5 miles, mostly on Central Park’s Harlem Hills. I felt fine during the run. But afterward…not so […]
