"That goal wasn\u2019t for anyone else. It wasn\u2019t to prove anything to anyone else. It was just something new that I was going to accomplish on my own."

Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of\xa0your\xa0questions. This time around, we\u2019ve got listener questions about my time as a single 20-something in New York City, redefining the word "smart," dealing with expectations and disappointment when a race isn't a personal best, muffins and more. Thanks to everyone who called in for this one. Enjoy!

If you want to be part of a future \u201cAsk Ali\u201d episode (yay!), call\xa0917-947-9699\xa0\u2014 introduce yourself, and ask whatever\u2019s on your mind! I can\u2019t wait to hear from you!
