I Wish I Would Have Known…
Friday! It’s here! Thank God. I’d love to say I’m looking forward to a low key, relaxing weekend, but that’s hardly the case. I’m running the Brooklyn Half Marathon tomorrow! I’ve never done this race before and I’m excited to run in another borough for the first time. I’m also looking forward to running my […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Run Survival
So far I’m not too impressed with Thursday. I was beyond exhausted when I woke up, my stomach is giving me hell and it took three subway transfers to get to the office. I could let myself be cranky. That would be fun. I’d be punching people by 10 am. Orrrrrrr… I could give myself […]
Black & White & Rainy All Over
My body is hurting today! Turns out, marathon training — even in the early weeks — is kind of hard. After yesterday’s stellar run, I proceeded to sit at a desk all day. I prefer a more active recovery, but what can you do? I have to pay my bills. I did enjoy a lovely […]
Sometimes I Think I Can Do Anything
Oh hello, Tuesday. First, thank you all so much for the creative, original lunch ideas yesterday. For the first time maybe ever, I’m excited to go grocery shopping and stock up on some fun lunch things. You rock. I am grateful. Today I would like to talk about a thing I like to call “Exercising […]
I Don’t Know How To Relax On The Weekend
I am heartbroken that this weekend is almost over. It’s been a weekend I needed, though, filled with a tough race, some quality gym time, yummy food (Chinese for dinner, oh yes), a good amount of sleep and lots of Ali time. After yesterday’s double morning session involving the UAE Healthy Kidney 10K and a […]
Healthy Kidney 10K Recap
I ran a 10K in Central Park this morning. My stomach didn’t explode during the race. That’s good. I wore hot pink. That’s also good. I came out of the race with a new 10K PR. Definitely good, right? (Even though it was only my second 10K ever.) But I’m not quite sure I’d consider […]
5 Fun Friday Things
That is pretty much the most clever title I can come up with today: 5 Fun Friday Things. I guess I just like alliteration, and I’m admittedly not feeling very clever or creative today. Alliteration, admittedly… Clever, creative… Like I said, I like word patterns. Anyway. Today is Friday the 13th, which means absolutely nothing […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Good Advice & Brussels Sprouts
Happy Thursday! I have a lot to be thankful for today, so let’s get right down to it! I’m thankful for my new, wonderfully fluffy, bright orange comforter. Have I not obsessed over this enough this week? I know, I have. But seriously, this blanket is magical and I can’t wait to complete the set […]
Not A Morning Gymmer
If you’ve been an Ali On The Run reader for more than a day (and if you haven’t, hi and welcome!), you know that I start my days running. I run in the morning because I love being outside. I love the fresh air, I love the alone time and I love that I can […]
Hamptons Marathon Training: Week 2
Good morning! It’s only the second week of official training for the Hamptons Marathon, but already I’m loving having a coach and definitely enjoying following a specific training plan. As I mentioned yesterday, I was a little bitter when I got this week’s training plan and saw that Coach Cane had me resting on a […]
