\nA: Now my main sport is swimming. I grew up in Florida and swam competitively as a kid, through high school. Later in life I discovered running, which I loved, and then triathlons. (I was also very good at them!) I ran for many years, but a chronic back problem led eventually to spinal fusion surgery – and no more running! Thankfully I could still swim. But I still dream of running. Swimming is a terrific full-body workout and a remarkably social sport – I’ve met some of my best friends in the locker room. It’s also the best stress relief in the world.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.vionicshoes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/mojave_lavender_swimmer.jpg\" "\\"Mojave_lavender_swimmer\\"")

\nA: I’m a consumer protetion\u00a0lawyer. Right now I’m really admiring some hardworking non-celebrities who’ve been trying to increase the access of ordinary people to justice and greater consumer protection. And I’m enhthralled with Elizabeth Warren!<\/p>\n
