Lessons I Learned This Weekend in D.C.
I’m a little shocked I survived the BoltBus ride back to NYC yesterday. The trip took an hour and a half longer than it should have, probably due to the fact that the bus was being violently pelted by raindrops the size of my face. But now I’m back and life has returned to normal. […]
Ali & Emily Sweat All Over The Nation’s Capital
Um, you people really like T-shirts, huh? I am currently swimming in emails, Tweets, Facebook messages and comments from people demanding “I Heart Sweat” shirts. So here’s the deal with the shirts: I was informed over the weekend that the shirts left at JackRabbit are already sold out. That’s good news for me, because it […]
Humbled
I’m almost at a loss for words this morning. I don’t think I’ve ever really been completely knocked speechless — I’m a big fan of talking and making noise — but last night blew me away. I woke up with a giant, totally goofy smile on my face today. Let me try to find the […]
Thankful Things Thursday: On Good Friends, Support & The Night Ahead
Hello. Happy Thursday. I’ve got a busy day, so we’re jumping right into the “This is what I’m thankful for today” game. I’m thankful the big day is finally here! For the past two nights, I’ve woken up from dreams in which no one shows up to my JackRabbit fundraising event. I really hope that […]
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 […]
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 […]
I Love Food
I have no complaints today. Actually, that’s not true. I have one. I was woken up this morning not by an alarm, not by the sun, and not even by a rumbling stomach. I woke up because my toe hurt. Stupid, I know. There seems to be something growing on my 2nd to littlest toe […]
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 […]
Is This Real Life?
Today was ridiculous in the best way possible. If not for the nagging twinge of pain in my right knee (nothing serious), I would be questioning whether or not I needed to wake up from a pretty nice dream. After crushing yesterday’s long run (woo!), I was admittedly in rough shape. I wasn’t sore, but […]
