"High hopes, low expectations."

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 what I'm watching right now, finding your identity when you can't run, leaving New York City, working in the running industry, and so much more. Plus: another surprise appearance by Brian Cristiano! Thanks to everyone who called in for this one. Enjoy!
