"I\\u2019ve worked really hard and I\\u2019ve put a lot out there, and it\\u2019s been really good to the point that it terrifies me."

Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of\\xa0your\\xa0questions. This time around, I\\u2019m flying through 29 listener questions, sent in via Instagram Stories (I\\u2019m\\xa0@aliontherun1), about my current goals and dreams, the New York City Marathon (lots of questions about the New York City Marathon!), the song that always makes me cry (and I cry just talking about it!), the lessons I\'ve learned from my best and worst races, and so much more.
