My First 10k Race

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

Seven mile Saturday run

This morning I went for my now regular, Saturday morning 5 miles run. I went a little later than usual, it was almost noon, but it was a little cloudy, windy and it even rained a little.  I began my run at one end of the path, rather than in the middle like I usually … Continue reading Seven mile Saturday run

Struggling through my Saturday run

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

5 Mile Saturday Run

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

Comets CPS Run or Walk 5K

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

Keep running but don’t rush it

Earlier this week I found a reminder of my achievements 11 years ago, when I was just starting to run again. I remember getting on the treadmill at therapy and running as long as I could trying to hang on a little bit longer every day. It wasn’t more than a few minutes back then, … Continue reading Keep running but don’t rush it

Got a running coach!

I have been looking for something fun to do outside of work, to get me out of my house, keep my mind occupied, and maybe meet new people. As you probably know, I like exercising and staying active, and I considered joining a gym but I have everything I need to work out in my … Continue reading Got a running coach!

No more excuses, Im Unstoppable!

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!

Two Apple Fitness Collections in August

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

Kickboxing Challenge and Paddle boarding

As the month of May came to an end, I finished the challenge I started at the beginning of the month, the 12 day Bring Out Your Inner Champion with Kickboxing Challenge on Apple Fitness. Despite it being only 12 days, I took days in between each video and some rest days as well so … Continue reading Kickboxing Challenge and Paddle boarding

High school reunion and Christmas 2023

Part of me feels like it hasn’t been that long since I graduated high school and another part of me feels like it was ages ago, but at has actually been fifteen years. I was reminded of this in my high school reunion earlier this week. It was great seeing a lot of people I … Continue reading High school reunion and Christmas 2023

New York City Days 6-8: New Jersey

I know what everyone is thinking, but I have family in New Jersey so on day six of our vacation we went to Penn Station and got on the train to New Jersey for the weekend. It was a quiet trip, there weren’t a lot of people on it when we got on, and pretty … Continue reading New York City Days 6-8: New Jersey

Christmas Vacation 2022

Last night I got back from Boston, where I went for the last few days of my vacation, after being in New York City. I enjoyed the drive to Boston because I got to rest from all the walking we did in the city. Our stay there was also a lot more relaxed and quiet … Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2022

I have walking pneumonia

Last week I thought I had COVID. I didn’t feel well and had symptoms similar to those of COVID, but after the quick test at home was negative for a few days, I was sent to the lab to make sure what it was. The results came back positive for mycoplasma. I’m going to be … Continue reading I have walking pneumonia
