    I am working up to running again. I had a ligament tear, so it's been NO major impact exercise for about 9 months. GAH!! This inspires me to keep working on the knee!! (weights, floor work, pool) :)

    I second your reasons for running! I don't run anywhere near as much as I used to but I would never feel better physically than after a good run. My main reasons for running is building endurance and mental strength, and not feeling guilty about eating anything I want afterwards! My main issue now is not having that drive in me to walk out of my room and just go run!

My trip to Puerto Rico

Image
The Real Truth Last December I went on a trip to Puerto Rico for my cousin's wedding. This was two months after Hurricane Maria had hit. On the airplane headed to Puerto Rico, I had no idea what I'd be walking into. Would my grandma's house be in ruins? Would there be power? Would the places I knew still be there? When I arrived the mood in the air already felt different. I was excited to see my family but by the looks of things, I knew I shouldn't expect much. My aunt picked us up from the airport and on the way back to my grandma's house she would point things out. There were fallen street lights and trees everywhere. Houses hanging on for dear life and the flags that were once displayed on the bridge were no longer in sight. What it should look like. Vs. What it resembles because of the loss of the flags. The Puerto Rico I once knew as a little girl was slowly slipping out of my fingertips. It was difficult to see my family live like this kno...

After Innocence (2005)

After Innocence Review The documentary overall was great, but if I had to pick one scene that stuck out to me it had to be Nick Yarris and his story. Nick Yarris was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder and was sentenced to death row. He spent 23 years in prison and to make matters worse they were in solitary confinement. In the documentary, he stated he wasn't allowed to talk for the first two years which is just outlandish. Yarris also described that he was sent to a prison that was condemned by the United Nations for its practices of torture. I could only imagine being wrongfully convicted, but then to end up in a prison that's known for torture its prisoner is just horrible. When he was first released he said he felt allergic to the air and that it was actually hard to breathe. This made me feel sorrowful because it shows just how accustomed to prison he was. He also stated that the world was too loud and this made me angry because he did not deserve to be in ...

Figure Skating

Figure Skating is Hard ! I've recently been watching the Winter Olympics and came across a performance during the figure skating competitions that was just too good not to write about.  The name of the skating duo was South Korea’s Yura Min and Alexander Gamelin. The pair skated to the well-known song, “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. I thought this was really unique because this is the first time in the Olympics where the International Skating Union has modified its rules allowing figure skaters to perform to music with lyrics.  I really enjoyed their song selection, but also thoroughly enjoyed their performance as well. Their performance was well executed with great choreography and the ability to stay in sync. Their ability to gracefully move across the ice while looking effortless is something only a few can accomplish. Although Yura suffered a wardrobe malfunction she overcame it with poise and finished a great routine. Below is ...
