Every year in April, Colegio San Gabriel, a school for deaf children, hosts a 10k race in San Juan. My running group gets really involved in this race and most people either run or volunteer to help. Last year I didn’t run because I already had another 10k and thought it was going to be … Continue reading Colegio San Gabriel 10k 2026

After I got the EEG placed (glued) on my head yesterday, I was able to come home where I had to avoid sweating or getting any water on the electrodes in my head. Water makes the image blurry when they are reading the result. Not sweating in Puerto Rico means being in air conditioning and … Continue reading Finished Another 24 Hour EEG
This weekend I completed the Hunger 10k, second race in the 10K Challenge I started in January. We started in El Caracol and finished in El Parque Agroturistico Ecologico (Agroturistic Ecological Park) in Dorado. There were some complications with the parking lot before the race so it started a little late. There were no clouds … Continue reading Hunger 10K
I didn't think about it, but writing this brings a lot of old feelings back. I can't help but look back at the last seven years of my life, at least what I can remember of them and the worst moments come to mind. From that very first memory that always makes me sad and … Continue reading Seven years later…
There is nothing like taking your puppies out for a walk, them barking at other dogs, pulling on the leash and trying to wander off to god knows where; but once you get more comfortable and confident that you are the leader it starts to get easier and you start to relax. The best part … Continue reading Unstoppable walk and run
I found this first video a few days ago, of me trying to take a few steps by myself four years ago in November, 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7my3a4TrScU Later I found this one, taken a month later in the same place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6rm7iCnYbI I really don't know how to express how I feel every time I see … Continue reading You can
First, I've had about all I can take in politics, that's enough for now. I was ready to relax, meaning get to work on my final project. I was happy because we were assigned a group project and three heads are better that one, except when the two other heads leave your head out. My … Continue reading We need to work together, whether we like it or not
Today I spent like and hour changing my blog's theme. Why did it take me so long? I thought it would only take me a minute, just change the theme and that's it, you're done. But no, the image doesn't fit, there's no room header image, that theme doesn't use an image for each post, … Continue reading My new theme
I knew this day was coming, but I’ve had other things on my mind lately and I almost missed it, but it’s a big deal, at least to me. Today I celebrate the one-year anniversary of Unstoppable Maria. It has been a year of testing myself, to see if I can keep it up, and … Continue reading Happy 1st birthday Unstoppable Maria
With the help of my friend Susie, who told me all the steps I should to start taking to make Unstoppable Maria even more unstoppable, I woke up early this morning with all the energy to begin doing this. I plan to take Unstoppable Maria, which began as a small blog on Word Press, to the … Continue reading We’re growing
First, I want to take tonight's blog to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you got to spend time with those friends and family that are near as well as those who are not; even if it was just via a phone call or text message. Wherever you are, I hope you all had … Continue reading Merry Christmas/ Feliz Navidad
I made it! When the clock hit 8 last night and I took my medicines it was official, I made it 7 months seizure free. I was going to say it was my greatest achievement but that's not true, I think just waking up from a comma is my greatest achievement, and everything after that. … Continue reading Now it’s official!
