T he sun has just risen when I climb out of bed. My sleep was fitful and plagued by nightmares, and I feel more tired than when I went to bed last night. I get dressed, doing my best to keep my mind blank and focused in the moment, which only lasts until I am outside, and fear rushes over me again. My body remembers all too well the terror of last night. I hurry toward the gym, anticipating the moment that gaze will land on me again. It never comes, and I arrive at the gym without further drama.

I walk straight to my favorite treadmill and start the machine, trying to lose myself in the rhythm of the run. Tension grips my shoulders, and I try to push past it, but peace never finds me. I give up after around ten minutes and switch to one of the punching bags.
