After resting for a day, I returned to the track on Thursday night. This time, I wanted to do things right and not have any problems with my ankle so I stretched, like the therapist taught me to, before getting to the track. I felt very confident I could walk for two miles again, without … Continue reading Slowly starting tagain

For my February 5k, I decided to run a race I had already done four times and the first race I did after my brain injury. The first time I did this, I was still beginning to walk again; I did part of the race on a wheelchair, a walker, so I walked across the … Continue reading February 5k: Córrelo, Camínalo o Ruédalo
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
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 running thing is starting to get addictive. I went to the track this morning, when it was pretty empty and it wasn’t supposed to be so hot. I think I should have gone earlier because it was still 87 degrees that felt like 97. But even with the sun shining at full blast, I … Continue reading Saturday morning run
When October started a few days ago, I remembered I hadn’t finished the last two Collections I started on Apple Fitness. My plan had always been to start and finish a new one every month, and I had been doing that until June, but now I remembered I haven’t finished the the ones I started … Continue reading No more excuses, Im Unstoppable!
I still haven’t finished the 60 Minutes of Cardio Strength and Yoga Collection I started in July. I knew it would be difficult when I started it but I was up for the challenge and very optimistic about being able to finish it in one month. However, after attempting to do several twice or even … Continue reading Two Apple Fitness Collections in August
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
So now there’s only five days left of the PiYo/T25 workout program. From now until Saturday it’s going to be a piece of cake because I did the most difficult video for the last time today. As tired as I am from that 50 minute PiYo video, I couldn’t help but smile when I realized … Continue reading Less that one week left!
After spending almost a month deciding what to do next, was almost sure I finally found it. This week I started Transform: 20, a 20 minute workout program that’s not like anything I’ve done before. This program is not like the others I’ve done with Beach Body because you need a step. It is optional, … Continue reading Next exercise program
We do amazing things when we’re motivated, like yesterday morning for instance, I didn’t hesitate to get out of bed when I heard my alarm. I went straight into my workout. I didn’t have all day to do it like I usually do so I had to hurry and I really couldn’t, or didn’t want … Continue reading One more week DONE!
I’m finally on week four of the second week of Insanity Max. I did the video with more enthusiasm than I do every week because it’s the first day of the last week and I was able to do it in the morning because I didn’t have to work today. Since I didn’t have to … Continue reading Last week of Insanity Max: 30- Max Out
Last week, after I got the Covid-19 vaccine on Thursday, I didn’t work out that day or the next. The CDC’s instructions were to take it easy after getting the vaccine. I did that the first time and I didn’t have any side effects except for some pain in the upper left arm, where I … Continue reading New rowing machine
Keeping up with blogging, exercising, working and taking classes all at the same time has not been very easy so far. I was able to keep up with everything during my three week Christmas break because I was on vacation, but now that I’m back to work and working more hours than last year, it … Continue reading I can find a way to do it all
