Lingering Weekend Thoughts
Hello. Did you have a nice weekend? I did. It was wonderful taking Friday off from work and having a full three days to relax, eat and drink. That’s really all I did this weekend: eat and drink. I also, very reluctantly, dressed up as Waldo. I spent the weekend in Fire Island with a […]
“But First I Have To Run”
I am blogging from a super-soft couch in Fire Island and I can physically feel my Crohn’s disease/potential colitis/faulty foot/mental craziness melting away. It’s a beautiful thing. My goal for this weekend is to stay as unplugged as possible. I’m surrounded by a very very very cool breeze, awesome friends, tons of food and a […]
Army 10-Miler Recap
I went into today’s Army 10-Miler race with very mixed feelings. I registered for the race at the insistence of my cousin, Jackie, who lives in Arlington, VA, just outside D.C. A few months ago she assured me that this race is a must-do. Great course (past all the monuments!), tons of crowd support (like […]
Next Stop: Las Vegas
Dear person who decided the week would include 5 working days and 2 weekend days: You suck. Love, Ali Do I like coming to work every day? Yup. Sure do. But do I love the weekends when I don’t have to work? Why yes, yes I do. After last weekend’s Marathon Mania, this weekend was […]
Drinking & Blogging From Fire Island
Warning: My day has consisted of this… Yes, that’s right. I’m sorry, Mom. I have been drinking. Only a little amount though. Lauren made me do it. And now I will attempt to blog. Quickly. There’s still some more champagne to be had. Life is a celebration. I was planning to write a full race […]
My Ideal Weekend In New Hampshire: Running, Biking, Eating, Swimming & Sleeping
Sometimes I wake up on a Monday morning feeling sad. Monday means the weekend is over and the next weekend is a full five days away. Today, however, I woke up feeling fantastic. I feel rested. I feel excited about what the week has in store. And I feel like I’m riding high after a […]
Disney Day 2: Conquering The Parks
It’s been one heck of a long day and my big hotel bed is calling my name. A quick recap: I woke up at 6 am to get a run in. Four miles, nothing special. The rest of the day was spent dominating Disney World. First stop: Epcot. Saw the characters, got excited, made a […]
I Love My Dad
I’m back in NYC (with a coach-approved 3-mile run behind me, no less). Charlotte was good to me and I’ll update a bit more tomorrow, but I wanted to post a little note to wish all the fathers out there a very Happy Father’s Day. Yet another holiday that should be acknowledged more often. But […]
Fun In Charlotte
Hi from Charlotte — again! It’s been such a great trip so far and I’m heartbroken that in just 12 hours I’ll be on my way to the airport to fly back to NYC. You know I love you, New York, but Charlotte has been pretty good to me. A quick recap of the trip: […]
Hi From Charlotte!
I woke up at the blissfully late hour of 7:30 this morning — and I woke up in a big bed in Charlotte, NC! My trip is off to a great start. I worked from home yesterday, which was far busier and more stressful than anticipated. Some good news: I called my doctor yesterday and […]
