This year, I hadn’t started a new Apple Fitness challenge yet, not even after I decided to focus more on my lower body. I hadn’t even thought about it, until I remembered last week and decided to try to use Apple Fitness to help me improve my new hobby. 

There are collections to help you train to run a 5k and 10k, but I have a coach for that, I wasn’t looking for something to help me train, just something to help me get stronger. I found just that in the Get Your Legs in Great Shape collection. This collection just has eight videos, four lower body strength and four yoga videos,which pair up into four duos of strength and yoga. You are supposed to do each duo three times a week with a rest day in between before moving on to the next duo. 

I started the challenge last Friday and continued on Monday. I know the instructions said rest one day and I did on Saturday but I had a race on Sunday and have been running Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I plan to finish my first week tomorrow and move on to the next dúo next week. I hope this can help me on my next race, the 10k in April.

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.
