🏃🏽‍♂️ 🧠 MARATON DE MEDELLÍN 🏅

Este mes se cumple 2 años del día que cambió mi vida para siempre.

Hace dos años estaba luchando por volver a caminar, por recuperar mi vida y por creer que algún día podría volver a hacer todo aquello que amaba.

Hoy, dos años después, puedo decir con el corazón lleno de felicidad que esta fue mi cuarta maratón Post-ACV. 🏃‍♂️

No fue el tiempo que soñaba. Hubo circunstancias externas que estuvieron fuera de mi control y el resultado no fue el que esperaba.

Pero hoy entiendo que mi verdadera victoria nunca estuvo en el cronómetro, Mi victoria está en haber vuelto a tener confianza en mi.

El deporte se convirtió en una parte fundamental de mi recuperación después del ACV. Cada entrenamiento, cada kilómetro y cada caída me enseñaron que el cerebro también puede aprender, adaptarse y encontrar nuevos caminos. La neuroplasticidad dejó de ser una palabra para mí y se convirtió en parte de mi historia.

Y quizás esa sea la gran enseñanza que me deja esta maratón, la paciencia también es una forma de fortaleza. Los tiempos que buscamos no siempre llegan cuando queremos, llegan cuando estamos preparados para alcanzarlos.

Gracias de corazón a la Maratón de Medellín por permitirme correr una carrera tan hermosa y, sobre todo, por ser parte fundamental de este proceso que comenzó hace dos años y que todavía continúa.

Me voy con el corazón agradecido, con más ganas que nunca y con una deuda pendiente.

Mis metas personales y mi tiempo llegará. Mientras tanto, seguiré disfrutando el camino. 🏃‍♂️

One of the biggest challenges of training in Miami isn’t the running itself it’s staying hydrated.

The combination of heat and humidity can make hydration and recovery just as important as the workout.

Over the last few months, we’ve made it a habit to bring cold water, sports drinks, and fruit to our long runs and track sessions. It’s a simple thing, but after a hard workout, it makes a huge difference.

Lately we’ve been using the @travoca.us cooler to keep everything cold and ready, even during some of the hottest mornings of the year. What I like most is that it has become part of the routine without getting in the way load it up before the run, and when everyone finishes, hydration is ready to go.

Small details can make training more enjoyable, especially during the Miami summer.

How do you stay hydrated during your summer runs?

Happy Global Running Day!

Today is a reminder that movement matters. Whether you run, walk, skate, bike, dance, or simply take a few extra steps, every bit of activity adds up and helps build a healthier life.

At Dimelo305, we believe staying active is about more than fitness. It’s about taking care of ourselves, building healthy habits, and creating a stronger community through movement.

We’ll be celebrating today at @lifetime.gables and we’d love to see you there!
