Our goal for yesterday was to only walk for two miles outside the walls of old San Juan again but we didn’t walk all the way to the end. We completed the first mile before we got to the end, at which point we turned back and did the second mile.
Today it was going to rain so I stayed home and did my whole workout here. I did my usual bicycle, video and treadmill and wanted to try to walk and run three miles but could only make it for a little more than one mile. I wasn’t tired or out of breath or anything but the arch of my right foot hurts. It had been bothering me for a few days and I finally realized that I might need new, better shoes to run. So I got new running shoes and I feel like I’m walking on air when I put them on but I guess some damage had already been done because when I run my foot still hurt.
I decided to take it easy and only finish one mile. I really like running but I have to take it easy if something hurts, if I just ignore it’s only going to get worse. Because of that I don’t think I’m going to run tomorrow, I’m still doing the video and maybe the bicycle and walk but I’m definitely not going to try to run.
I hope I can keep being as active in 2021 as I’ve been in these last few months of 2020 so if taking things a little bit easier for a while is what it takes then I’ll do it. I’ll try running again when my foot feels better.
I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
