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

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
After a stressful and very rainy elections week, I was finally able to go back to the track. I didn’t think it would be very crowded but it seemed like I wasn’t the only one who wanted to get out of the house because it was just as packed as it always is. Today I … Continue reading Back to the track
This is the second Saturday I wake up at 7 am to go running. I don’t believe you should wake up before 8 am on a Saturday unless you have a very good reason, but going running in the morning when it’s less hot and there’s not that many people at the track has become … Continue reading A running start
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
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
Yesterday I went running again, this time I was told to do two more laps than last time, still running and walking. Two more laps made it eight and this really motivated me but I was worried I was going to be too tired when I got to the last two. With these two extra … Continue reading Motivated to run a 5K again
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!
I am not a hiker, I like walking and running and if I’m invited on a hike, I go, but I am not a hiker. My balance is not the best and I am terrified of falling and hitting my head again. However, when my boyfriend invited me on a hike with his family, who … Continue reading That time we got lost in El Yunque Rainforest
As our vacation started to come to an end, we still had a few things to see, so on our last day started walking again. First on the list was a place called Little Island. I had no idea what it was, except that is was small island, but it’s the cutest park with a … Continue reading New York City Day 10: Little Island, High Line, Chelsea Market, The Vessel, Little Spain, Hudson Yards
Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot. It was also very different because it wasn’t the same beach. This beach has suffered a lot more erosion so I either had to … Continue reading Saturday morning run
After months of not running very much, I accepted the challenge of running at the beach. I hadn’t thought or worried that much about the struggle of running again since I haven’t been running that often recently, I just worried about the heat. I thought maybe it would be very hot, which is why I … Continue reading Running at the beach
Yesterday I got back from a short trip to Chicago. This was my first trip there and I had no idea what to expect, I mean I had heard great things about it but every city I have been to is very different. I was surprised by how clean and easy to get around it … Continue reading My first visit to Chicago
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
The new year is only two and a half hours away and I don’t know what to expect from this new year but I do have two resolutions for 2023. The first one, writing more, has three parts: 1) Publish more blog posts- I wrote a lot less than other years in 2022 and I … Continue reading Happy New Year 2023!
