Oh hey Friday. You snuck up on me there! It’s nice to see you. Today is going to be a bit of a crazy day (aren’t they all?), and on crazy days, I only function by way of lists. Here’s [...]

Date: June 23, 2011 at 8:43 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 45

Happy Thursday! I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: This week has been a super speedy one. I can hardly even remember what happened on Monday. So let’s keep moving right along and get down to it: Today [...]

Another Best Weekend Ever

Happy Monday! I have a feeling it’s going to be a great week. But I may be biased, because I’m only working three full days, then I head out in the late afternoon on Thursday for a long weekend in [...]

Mini 10K Recap

Date: June 12, 2011 at 11:59 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 56

I didn’t PR at yesterday’s Mini 10K, but it was a successful race by so many other standards. Marathon training is quickly teaching me that there are more ways to measure a race than by your finish time. Here’s how [...]

Everything About Today Will Be Great

It’s Friday, and that’s just the first reason today is going to be a stellar day leading into a phenomenal weekend. Positivity, people. Embrace it. This week went by really quickly for me. It was productive, it included some great [...]

Thankful Things Thursday: I Love Runner Friends

Date: June 9, 2011 at 8:16 am- by Ali- Comment(s): 32

It’s another scorcher in NYC today. And you know what? I’m fine with it. And, judging from the comments on yesterday’s post, you guys are fine with it, too — or at least you all have some awesome hot weather/beat-the-sweat [...]

Brooklyn Half Marathon Recap

I wish I could tell you all that today’s race was perfect and wonderful and that I have a shiny new PR. Sorry. That’s not the recap you’re getting. Today’s race was my roughest one yet — but rest assured, [...]

I Wish I Would Have Known…

Friday! It’s here! Thank God. I’d love to say I’m looking forward to a low key, relaxing weekend, but that’s hardly the case. I’m running the Brooklyn Half Marathon tomorrow! I’ve never done this race before and I’m excited to [...]

I Don’t Know How To Relax On The Weekend

Date: May 15, 2011 at 5:02 pm- by Ali- Comment(s): 20

I am heartbroken that this weekend is almost over. It’s been a weekend I needed, though, filled with a tough race, some quality gym time, yummy food (Chinese for dinner, oh yes), a good amount of sleep and lots of [...]

Healthy Kidney 10K Recap

Date: May 14, 2011 at 1:20 pm- by Ali- Comment(s): 28

I ran a 10K in Central Park this morning. My stomach didn’t explode during the race. That’s good. I wore hot pink. That’s also good. I came out of the race with a new 10K PR. Definitely good, right? (Even [...]
