Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot. It was also very different because it wasn’t the same beach. This beach has suffered a lot more erosion so I either had to run very close to the water where the sand was flat but my shoes would get wet when waves came, or higher up where the sand wasn’t so flat and it was dry.

Either way it was nice to be running outside again, even if I didn’t run the whole way, it was still very nice. I got a little bit of sunshine, fresh air and it was a great distraction. I also got one more workout this week, making it six workouts this week, instead of my usual five.

Getting up on Saturday to run feels great, I feel very accomplished after I’m done. Just the fact that I’m putting in little bit more work for my wellness and a little bit of distraction is worth going out earlier than I usually did on Saturday.

Even though I did more walking than running yesterday than I did last Saturday, I still tried again and had fun doing it. Not all Saturdays will be the same, some days I will be more tired than others and some days will be more hot, windy, sunny or rainy than others. My hope is just to try my best when I do go running, get stronger, faster and distract myself.

Next time I have to remember to bring another pair of shoes for after I run, even my socks had sand and got wet.

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.
