#100milewalk, it’s a challenge, really

Since February 15th, I have been keeping count of how many miles I walk every day.

I spent the whole 1:30 talking to one of my … Continue reading Walking with #teamsusie

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

Ready for therapy

She went all the way to Syracuse because I wanted to go to my graduation a year later, I am going to her graduation, no matter what she says. I love you

This was the second 5k I did after the TBI. I didn’t have help on this one, I did it all by myself. It took me like 50 or 55 minutes; something like that.
