Yesterday I went running again, this time I was told to do two more laps than last time, still running and walking. Two more laps made it eight and this really motivated me but I was worried I was going to be too tired when I got to the last two. With these two extra laps I did a total of eight, and with the warm up and cool down laps it was 11.

After that cardio workout I was and still am so happy and proud that I was able to do this again. I ended up walking 3.23 miles last night and that’s a little more than 5 kilometers. I didn’t do it on purpose but was so happy to see that I can do a 5K because I had just signed up to do a 5K yesterday. It took me about 52 minutes last night but I was walking pretty slowly those last few minutes.

I only have like two weeks to prepare for that because it’s at the end of the month but I’m sure I can do it faster. I definitely won’t be walking so much or so slowly during the race so hopefully I will be faster when it’s time for the 5K. I will probably go running again on Saturday to keep trying to do 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.
