Greetings from the west coast! I’m in sunny-but-not-super-warm Los Angeles until Friday for some work things, and even though the weather here is comparable to the crap you’re dealing with back in New York, I refuse to complain, because these [...]

On the running front, this weekend was spectacular. On all other fronts, it was great as well. But let’s focus on the running, because I am better at discussing 18 miles of fun than I am at describing the flavors [...]

My 18-Mile Mentality

Date: February 24, 2012 at 9:18 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 74

Tomorrow will not be my first time attempting an 18-mile run. I did one 18-miler during Hamptons training, and it went really well. I feel like 18 is a solid distance. It’s far and it’s challenging, but on marathon day, [...]

A Super Happy 7-Mile Morning

Date: February 22, 2012 at 9:34 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 50

Helloooooooo! Question: Did someone put some crack in my “granola bar” this morning? Or perhaps you mixed my “morning cocktail” (sink water) with Absinthe or something? I don’t know what’s happening, or what I’m on, but I’m in a wildly [...]

You know I’m not really going to have actual “deep thoughts” that are groundbreaking in this post, right? I just don’t want your expectations to be very high. Good morning! This weekend wrapped itself up pretty perfectly. Yeah, Saturday’s run [...]

Reminder: Life Is Not Bad & I Am Not Injured

Date: February 17, 2012 at 9:30 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 44

Last night after work, I dragged myself to a yoga class at my gym. I debated whether or not to get all yogafied (evil red squiggly line, stop trying to tell me that’s not a word, because it is) for [...]

Thankful Things Thursday: I Refuse To Be Injured

Date: February 16, 2012 at 9:39 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 48

Happy Thursday to you. I’ve been slacking on the blogging front a bit lately because sometimes life just gets in the way. Yesterday, for example, I decided it was more important to lay in a hotel bed for an extra [...]

Things I Love

Date: February 14, 2012 at 9:38 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 43

I have never been a big Valentine’s Day person. (No, I did not just Google “Does Valentine’s Day have an apostrophe?”) Sure I can get on board with some Hallmark cards, chocolate and cheesy celebrations, why not? But every year [...]
