For the last thirteen years, every time I’m struggling with something I always think, I have to keep going, you can’t quit now. Not stopping and pushing forward is what helped me during the most difficult moment in my life. If I could get through that without quitting, I can get through anything, or so … Continue reading Taking A Little Break From Running
We were told last week in sewing class that most of us would finish our bags this week; I was sure some people would but I didn’t think I would be one of them. It just seemed like I still had so much to do that three hours wouldn’t be enough. I felt really far … Continue reading Finished My First Sewing Project!
After so long, I never thought I’d say this again but, this morning I went back to therapy. Unlike last time, now it was just for one thing, my ankle. I wanted to just get started with the therapy, but it doesn’t work that way; I had to get an evaluation first. This took a … Continue reading Started Therapy for my Ankle
I didn’t have any special plans for Labor Day weekend, just my sewing class on Saturday morning and I had to complete my weekend long run on Sunday. Almost done! Titi Margo’s bag (left), my bag (right) Paseo Lineal de Bayamón I was a little surprised when my running coach sent a message to the … Continue reading Labor Day Weekend Surprise Run
I didn’t think I would be able to do both, run and go to sewing class on Saturday morning, but I tried yesterday. After training during the week, on weekends I usually do a long run or a race. This weekend, my long run increased to 7 miles. That’s too long of a run to … Continue reading Running and Sewing in the Morning
The week after my 10 mile race, I was on vacation with my family. I had planned to run a little during my vacation, maybe running at the beach, which I love. This time, however, it wasn’t so much fun. Turns out, it’s not fun to run at every beach. As beautiful as that beach … Continue reading Family Vacation and Preparing for the Next Big Race
My running coach, Freddy, organizes a race every year for the past 27 years, called Las 16 Millas de Sabrina (Sabrina’s 16 Miles). This event is not only useful for many runners because they can use the results to qualify for marathons, but the money earned is donated to different organizations. When I was first … Continue reading Las 16 Millas de Sabrina
Last weekend I finished the Three Perfect Weeks of Strength: Express Edition program on Apple Fitness. This program was just nine, 20 minute long Total Body strength workouts, if you did three a week you would finish in three weeks. I didn’t do three a week so it took me a little bit longer, more … Continue reading Yoga for runners
This morning, I attended my first sewing class. I had only sewn a few times, about eight years ago under the careful watch of my aunt, who is an expert. This course Sewing for Beginners, is very appropriate for me, but I still felt a little intimidated at first. I thought everyone would have more … Continue reading Sewing for Beginners
Yesterday I completed my July 5k, called the 5k extrAVAganza. This race was done to raise funds for Los Amigos de AVA(The friends of AVA). This is a foundation with the aim to create consciousness about TANC2 and other uncommon genetic neurological conditions. Some common symptoms of TANC-2 are autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability, delayed language … Continue reading 5k ExtrAVAganza
Yesterday, as I talked to my neurologist, I was surprised to get the ok to try the energy gels for long runs and/or races, as I told him I’m still running and have started to run longer races. I knew of these energy gels but never looked into them because I just assumed he wouldn’t … Continue reading A runner’s diet
I am happy to say I finished my third AI course. I feel like I’m moving pretty fast to get this certification but I still have 13 courses left. Hopefully I can finish the certification before the end of the year. The course I just finished was on creating Prompts to get the correct response. … Continue reading Image Generation with AI
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. To me, the weather was perfect for running, until it started to rain, quickly after … Continue reading Weekend long run in the rain
Today I got the chance to participate in the San Juan Bautista 10k in San Juan. This race is hosted by the town of San Juan, to commemorate the day of San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist) who the town capital town is named after. I really wanted to participate in this race for … Continue reading San Juan Bautista 10k
I wasn’t able to run or exercise for a week, which was a little frustrating, especially since I had already signed up for a 5k race this Saturday. I considered giving my bib number away, but this race seemed interesting because the last mile would be in a racecourse. I wanted to see what that … Continue reading 5k Hipódromo (Racecourse)
