I am so proud of you! I've listened to/followed you since way back, and I know how hard some of your time (days? weeks? years?) has been. So much about race training is HARD and you made the smart choice to get professionals to guide you. I can't wait to hear all about your victory lap (or marathon, whichever you prefer to call it.) Way to stick to the plan and get race ready. Best of luck, and hugs for the start and finish lines!

Yay for a great training block!! So excited for you! This gives me so much hope that I will run another marathon someday. My last was the year before my son was born and a broken ankle and Covid during training cycles later feeling like it won’t happen. But you sharing your story of taking on the marathon after a break is giving me so much hope!!

Great job Ali! I'm proud of you too. You can do anything you set your mind to. I am running a marathon the week before you. I'm appreciating following along on your training journey. Your "nuggets" have been helpful. Both here on your newsletters and on your podcasts. Just listened to the Michele Blackburn episode yesterday. I went through a lot of tissues! Keep up the good work and don't forget to rest!

This email made me tear up. All the emotions! PS, so was inspired to become a member of Bandit during the checkout process, but then it wouldn’t let me use the discount code. This is fine because the membership gets you an even deeper discount (which is explained clearly). However! I thought I’d tell you Ali, since I know they use those codes to measure your impact. I want them to know that YOU inspired me there. Perhaps they could find a way to register the Ali code even when we select a membership. :)

I was really trying to NOT get into Love is Blind, but my friend was like "let's just watch one episode" and now I am all like OMG WTF IRINA!!! So please please please do the Patreon episode.

Also you're a star!! Keep it up!!

Need a Patreon episode asap on LIB!!! Truly no one that I’m rooting for except for Tiffany and Brett. The others can just go away. Good ok Zach to break up with Irina before going home.

Yay for a good training block! But ooof love is blind!! Irina and Micah are the worst mean girls. It’s going to be wild the next episodes that come out today! I can’t believe how awful they both are. And now Micah is saying she wasn’t flirting that’s just who she is. She’s a flirt. But I can’t stop watching the train wreck no matter how much I want to! There should be some kind of test you have to take that you are a good person and not a terrible one to be on the show!
