Summary
"To me, it's not heroic to have a miserable experience. It's not heroic to further injure myself. It's not heroic to set myself back, for what? A medal, an Instagram post, a couple hundred likes? Not worth it. I'd rather be the people's champion by saying, 'Hey, I made the tough call.'"
Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of your questions. This time around, we've got listener questions about Schitt's Creek friendships, adjusting to hilly running routes, DNFs, and so much more. Thanks to everyone who called in for this one. Enjoy!
If you want to be part of a future "Ask Ali" episode (yay!), call 917-947-9699 — introduce yourself, and ask whatever's on your mind! I can't wait to hear from you!
