  Run a marathon

  • I trained for 11 months, ran 4:42:18, and cried at mile 24 next to a stranger doing the same thing. The clock didn't matter. The finish line did.

  • Sixty seconds of free fall is somehow shorter and longer than you think. The plane door opened and I was no longer afraid — I was furious at having put it off this long.
