You run and run, mile after mile, and you never quite know why. You tell yourself that you're running toward some goal, chasing some rush, but really you run because the alternative, stopping, scares you to death.

In high school, the pool was my world for 3 hours every single day. It taught me discipline, resilience, and the pure exhilaration of pushing past my limits. 4 years later, I've started swimming again, and it has been a renewing journey back to those core lessons.
