You Can Have A Good Day Today
Warning: Overly optimistic and peppy post ahead. Yesterday I wrote about how I’m so happy to be in the midst of marathon training. My speedy, rainy morning run wasn’t the only good thing about yesterday. In fact, right before bed last night, I actually said out loud, “Absolutely nothing bad happened today. Today was awesome” […]
When Did Running Take Over My Life?
One year ago, I loved running. But that’s it. I loved it, but I wasn’t super attached or addicted to it. Running was something I did and something I enjoyed. I ran the New York City Half Marathon in March 2010, but didn’t sign up for any races after that. In fact, I didn’t run […]
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 […]
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 […]
Everything’s Better With Friends
If I take a nap under my desk today, do you think anyone will notice? Probably. But don’t you think it’ll start some cool trend? Maybe people wouldn’t look at me and be like, “OMG, Ali is asleep under her desk, we should obviously tell her boss because that is so not cool,” but instead […]
