Give Me Your Mantras
I was a brat yesterday. I can admit that. I’m not proud of my pissy little blog post. I’m over it today. Yay! Thanks for talking some sense into me, friends. I really do appreciate it. I was all bent out of shape because oh no, I had a run that was kind of difficult. […]
Defeated
Are you ready to read a slightly grouchy post? Because that’s what you’re about to get. Well. I’ll start with some good stuff. How does that sound? Yesterday was an excellent day. The photo shoot with the Refine Method girls went really well and I’m psyched about featuring them in the February issue of Dance […]
On Mondays, I Make Lists
Monday! Sometimes I wake up on a Monday morning and I’m all, “The weekend is over and I feel sad and life is soooo hard.” Today I woke up and thought, “It’s going to be an exceptional week.” I’ll tell you why, in the form of some lists. 5 Reasons This Weekend Was Great: 1. […]
I Met Coach Cane’s Baby & I Went Running
I got a text yesterday at 4:50 pm from Molly at JackRabbit’s Union Square store alerting me that there was a special visitor at the store. I immediately grabbed my bag and ran out of the office. I’m sure my boss would understand. Yesterday I got to meet the amazing little Simon Dylan Cane. Simon, […]
I Wish…
Today is 11/11/11 and that makes me giddy and hopeful. I’m a pretty practical person most of the time. To quote The Office: “I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.” But growing up, I always made a wish on the first star I saw every night. You know the phrase: “Star light, star […]
Thankful Things Thursday: Because A Sucky Stomach Can’t Bring Me Down
I woke up this morning and felt wide-awake when my alarm screamed at 5:00. The Steroids will do that to you — you don’t need to sleep much. My first thought was, “Yay! It’s already Thursday! Time to run!” But then, right around my fourth miserable trip to the bathroom, I cursed myself for thinking […]
Being Pushed
I like to think I’m hardcore. But sometimes, I need to be pushed. Not out of a plane, necessarily, but in general. Especially when it comes to running. I will always feel incredibly grateful for being able to train with Coach Cane leading up to my first marathon. I don’t know much about running, but […]
New York City Marathon Weekend
This weekend might go down in the books as one of my favorites ever. I don’t know what “the books” are or where they’re located, but in them, someday, it will say, “New York City Marathon Weekend 2011: One of Ali’s Favorites.” It’s good to document history. I currently have a severe case of New […]
Making Good Decisions
I often hate making decisions. At work, I have no problem making on-the-spot calls and being quickly decisive. We function on a constant deadline, after all. But in my own life? I can be very indecisive. I over-think things and analyze them and go back and forth about the most ridiculous issues. Like yesterday, right […]
Thankful Things Thursday: On Good Food, Central Park Running & Living Alone
Happy Thursday! Today I present to you another round of being all giddy and thankful for the great things in life we don’t always acknowledge. It’s Thankful Things Thursday, and it’s a holiday because I say so. Onward! I’m thankful I got outside last night. I’ve brought lunch to work most days this week, which […]
