This is the second Saturday I wake up at 7 am to go running. I don’t believe you should wake up before 8 am on a Saturday unless you have a very good reason, but going running in the morning when it’s less hot and there’s not that many people at the track has become a very good reason for me.

I feel better when I’m practicing now than I was a month ago when I started, but don’t know if I’m running any faster. It takes me more or less the same time on Saturday morning after waking up as it does at night, after work. I have a lot more energy when I’m rested on Saturday morning than I do on weeknights after work. However, it is a lot easier to run at night, when it doesn’t feel so hot and the sun isn’t shining in your face.

Just like working out before work, running on Saturday morning is a good way to start the day. I got a lot done today and I didn’t have any plans in the morning. From grocery shopping, getting both, the flu shot and latest Covid vaccine, to going to the mall.

And the best part is that there’s still another day left in the weekend!

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.
