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
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)
I was not sure this day would come, but I made it! As of today, April 8, 2025, I have been seizure free for a decade! It’s a little unbelievable that it’s finally official, 10 whole years! It’s still scary, but I made it to a decade and I’m so proud of myself! This deserves … Continue reading Ten Years Seizure Free!
When I heard “Tomorrow we’re going to clean the beach”, I immediately said can I come? The answer was yes, as I thought it would be. So I went to bed early last night to wake up at 7 AM today, Saturday, so we could be at Playa Grande- El Paraíso at 8 to help … Continue reading World Clean Up Day
This morning I went running at the beach for the third weekend in a row. I thought maybe today would be difficult because I was tired but it was better than the last two times, or maybe ever? I started running pretty close to where we had our stuff, near the parking lot, I thought … Continue reading Love running in the sand
Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot. It was also very different because it wasn’t the same beach. This beach has suffered a lot more erosion so I either had to … Continue reading Saturday morning run
After months of not running very much, I accepted the challenge of running at the beach. I hadn’t thought or worried that much about the struggle of running again since I haven’t been running that often recently, I just worried about the heat. I thought maybe it would be very hot, which is why I … Continue reading Running at the beach
This weekend two of my friends from college came to visit for a few days. Even though we kept in touch and I saw one of them four months ago in December, we had not spent so much time together in eleven years. However, this didn’t stop us from having great time and reconnecting like … Continue reading Got to show a little bit of Puerto Rico to my friends
Today, first thing in the morning, I went to the laboratory to get the Covid19 antigen test. I had already spent a week in my house, only leaving on Saturday for a walk at the beach. I had to get back to work, I felt fine and I couldn’t spend one more week in my … Continue reading Got a negative Covid test!
Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday, from just wishing me a Happy Birthday on a text message or social media, calling me or by helping me celebrate. I had a wonderful birthday weekend at the beach with my friends, a great day at work and an even better dinner with family. The … Continue reading Happy Birthday!
I was longing to have a weekend at the beach, I mean, it’s almost July and I don’t think this is the first time I go to the beach this summer. I really wanted to rest and get away for at least a day, so thanks to my cousin and his girlfriend for visiting and … Continue reading Ready for 60 more days of Insanity Max: 30
For a short spring break, I went away with my parents to the beach for the weekend, since it was a long weekend. I didn’t know what to expect because the beach is always very crowded during Easter weekend but I thought maybe this year would be different because of COVID. It was very crowded … Continue reading Spring break 2021
Today’s New Year’s celebration is going to be a little different than it has been for the last 9 or 10 years. Every year I go with my family to the beach and celebrate the new year at the beach house in the other side of Puerto Rico. This year however,we can’t celebrate together, so … Continue reading Happy New Year 2021!
Last week I was excited for our morning walks every day, except Saturday because it is my rest day so I didn’t go. I was afraid I wouldn’t want to go today either because once you stop it’s harder to start again. The key is not to think about it very much, I just got … Continue reading Three miles and a new gym
