"It's good to get to a place where you can accept that there are terrible things happening and good things happening, and they all happen at once, and we don't get to plan when they happen. So if you're going through something really hard and joy shows up for you, see it and notice it."

Welcome to Ask Ali, a monthly series where I answer all of your questions submitted on Instagram (I'm @aliontherun1). This time around, we're covering everything from how to trust your training to how to stay positive in the face of adversity to "What's saving your life right now?"
