Two weeks ago, after running in the rain one night, I quickly got a cold. This led to me not being able to run a lot last week. I finally got a good workout walking up and down the crowded streets of Old San Juan in Las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián. This is … Continue reading Preparing for the race on Sunday
Today I had my yearly January visit to the neurologist and just like I suspected, it was packed. Mondays are always really busy because both doctors are seeing patients and they are also running different tests such as EEGs on patients. I waited in the hallway and tried to calm unhappy patients, telling them that … Continue reading January 2025 visit to the neurologist
Before the new year started, I was already thinking about my next race, but I still hadn’t decided. It was either one very early in the morning close to my house or one 2 hours away on a Sunday evening. I picked the one close to home, that was the obvious choice, but I didn’t … Continue reading 5 Mile Saturday Run
Yesterday, Sunday October 17, was the first UPRRP 5k, to raise funds for the University of Puerto Rico’s Rio Piedras campus scholarship program. It was also my second 5k of the year. The entire race took place across the university’s Rio Piedras campus in San Juan. I had been there many times for different occasions, … Continue reading Second race of the year: 5K Vamos por la IUPI
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 … Continue reading A running start
A few weeks ago I signed up for my first 5K in about three years. I was excited but also a little nervous. I only started running about a month ago, I didn’t rest at all and I walked a lot yesterday, and it was really hot outside today. Despite all of this, I still … Continue reading Comets CPS Run or Walk 5K
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 … Continue reading Motivated to run a 5K again
I completed my goal for today again, this time in a different order. I did the first two parts of my workout, the bicycle and the video, this morning before work. After work I finished by walking outside for one mile. We didn’t walk more because it was going to start raining but we also … Continue reading Another day, done!
I haven’t done a 5k in a very long time and with the pandemic I didn’t think there would be any anytime soon. Then I heard that some people from work were doing a virtual 5k. In my head this meant walking in front of your computer for three miles, but that’s not the only … Continue reading My first virtual 5k
A few hours ago I completed my 6th 5k in a little over three years. It was a great accomplishment for me, not only because it was the sixth, and I did it all by myself, but because I beat my personal record time. If I remember correctly my fastest time had been 50 or 55 … Continue reading Personal record braking time in Walgreens 5k
Happy to say I signed up for the Walgreens 5K this Sunday. After working on getting the word out about it, I feel like I owe it to myself, to my boss, and to Walgreens, to join in all the fun and run/walk. I hope that I can do better than I did on the … Continue reading I signed up/ R.I.P Prince

The day came, the day for the happiest 5k I’ve seen, Còrrelo, caminalo o ruedalo (Run it, walk it or roll it). The race began at four p.m. from the Sports and Recreation Center (Departamento de Recreación y Deportes) at Santurce, San Juan. From there we went through the streets in Santurce, some were closed … Continue reading Fourth time, Córrelo, caminalo o ruedalo
