Yesterday, whenI got up at 4:30 am for a Saturday morning run, I didn’t bother to check the weather. It seemed perfect to run as early as possible and we were running by the ocean so it’s always very breezy.

This morning I went on my Saturday morning run, but for some reason, it was so difficult this morning. I went to the path next to Rio Bayamón, which I really enjoy because it’s calm, and there’s a lot of shade from the trees. But I don’t know if maybe I was still too sleepy, … Continue reading Struggling through my Saturday run
