I have been looking forward to today for months. Week after week, I went to sewing class, thinking this is it, today I’ll finish the dress, but it never was. There were always more steps I wasn’t expecting or I made a mistake, had to unsew something and sew it again. But today was the … Continue reading Finished the Dress, then Ran Three Miles

We are one week away from my first half marathon so my coach gave me the longest long run I’ve had so far, ten miles. I was kinda hoping for eight miles but I really should be thankful it wasn’t 12. Because I didn’t want to do that under the burning sun, I decided to join … Continue reading Last Long Run Before the Half Marathon
Last year, my first race as a part of Freddy’s Runners was the CPS 5k, but that race didn’t go so well for me. I started too fast, I didn’t have enough water and it was really hot that day. I thought I knew what I was doing because I had just joined a running … Continue reading CPS 5k, One Year Later
I was very happy last week after I got home and was able to go back to running on the track like I usually do. I was even more excited for my weekend long run. I thought it would be six miles again, which is a lot easier on the track than the treadmill. I … Continue reading First Long Run After My Vacation
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
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, 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
Last week, I decided it was time to start another adventure. I’m not giving up on running, still working hard on improving that, but I thought it was about time to start learning about AI. That’s the future and I can’t stand by and just watch, especially since what I do is work as a … Continue reading Learning about Artificial Intelligence
As I said a few days ago, after jogging for two miles, I wanted to see if I could do the same for 3 miles at a 5k. I got a chance to try it this morning at the Kilómetros de Cambio (Kilometers of Change) 5k this morning. I was very interested in getting a … Continue reading What I learned at Kilómetros de Cambio 5k
I didn’t have any races this weekend, so I went back to my five mile Saturday run, which I hadn’t done in a while. I thought I was going to have a very hard time and it would take me a very long time to finish, since lately I have been a little slow and … Continue reading My fastest five mile run
Believe it or not (those who know me well probably won’t believe it), this morning I woke up at 3:30 AM to run. I don’t know but I think I have the running bug that’s going around. This wasn’t just any regular weekend run, this was a race, and it was my first 10k race. … Continue reading My First 10k Race
