The few doctors rushed around, overwhelmed by the number of sick kids, a cacophony of cries and screams pervaded while mothers pleaded. To exacerbate the situation, I was exposed to this malaise normally characteristic of 3rd world countries right in my backyard.

Running is my safe haven from all the noise in life, but with it, there will always be losing, injury and failure. To run you have to do more than love it, you have to conquer it.
