When I was in Glacier National Park<\/a>, I decided something. I was going to do something that I never would have even thought about doing. I was going to go swimming in a glacier run off river.<\/p>\n

I believe that it is crucial that at some point, at least once in someones life, to do something that seems not only idiotic but insane. This isn’t so crazy to some people but to me it means a lot. I am highly afraid of deep water not to mention the temperature of the river. I thought Lake Superior was cold, boy was I wrong.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I decided out of the blue as we were driving through, that I was going to go swimming. So we pulled over, I threw on some shorts, and went down to the river. This water was so clean and beautiful, I was really exicted. Once my toes where in the water, that was another story. It was so cold.<\/p>\n

After telling this to one of my friends who aptly replied, Well duh, it was a GLACIER RIVER! I realized that everyone needs to do something to test themselves every once in a while. I go tubing and fall off on purpose in deep water, I jump of piers into deep water, or I just go swimming. All in the name of conquering fear. <\/span><\/p>\n

My recommendation, try it some time. It is actually a lot of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
