It's Our Turn: Great moments happen every day 
Every choice you make today has an impact on the life you wake up to tomorrow. This sounds like common sense, but how often do you think about the choices you don’t make? Indifference.

I have a hobby that’s hard for some people to understand: running.
I know why it’s hard to grasp. We can look downright miserable out there, slogging alongside the road or on the trail – huffing away, sweating from every pore, eyes grimaced in pain and concentration. Why on earth would someone submit themselves to that kind of torture?
