On the run

Carrerita de martes 27 de mayo . Carrerita de viernes 30 de mayo . La semana pasada no tuve corrida larga, el jueves 22 fui a ver el fútbol con unos amigos y ya no tuve ánimos para levantarme a correr al día siguiente, así que no hubo divagación. Hoy si me levanté a correr, pero la humedad estaba pesada, así que decidí recortar la carrera, apenas un poco más de 10 km. Se podría pensar que después de  una semana de no publicar debería de tener varios temas para divagar, pero no, la verdad es que lo único que he traído en mente es la proximidad del lanzamiento de “HISTORIA DE LA TIERRA, UNA COSMOGONÍA PERSONAL”. La fecha ya está muy próxima, el 4 de junio. Bueno, para fines prácticos la tarde del 3 de junio, aquí en México. Oficialmente el libro aparecerá el 4 de junio a las 00:00 UTC, las 5:00 pm del 3 de junio, aquí en Guaymas. Sé que ya publicado aparecerán errores, a pesar del esfuerzo de Soco, mi hermano que se encargó de la revisión de estilo, mías y de que a varias personas le...

  Tuesday, May 13th race . Friday, May 16th race. This is how the weather should be all year round, Guaymas would be a paradise, once again I reaffirm my opinion that May is the best month inGuaymasWe'll have to take advantage of it. Now, it's time to run, and it's time to do the runs earlier, especially the long runs, since at 8 a.m., the sun falls heavy. So today, I left a little earlier. Before 5:30, Mariana and I were already jogging down the street. As always, she left the neighborhood and took her route, while I continued. Now my ramblings ended very philosophically. I remember when I was in my first year of senior high school, I came across Rene Descartes in logic class. I had heard of him before and his famous "I think, therefore I am," but the truth is, I had never paid the slightest interest to him. But when I started senior high school, I was in a period of much questioning and discovered that Descartes' method was, precisely, systematic doubt. Then...

  Race on Wednesday, May 6 Race on Friday, May 9 It's now May 9 and for the first day in the month I don't feel the fresh breeze in the early morning. It's the first time since I had the pool that on my birthday, which was Monday, I didn't go into the pool, I don't remember such a cool start to May. Last week I commented on what it was like to gain confidence, first, and persistence to write “HISTORIA DE LA TIERRA, UNA COSMOGONÍA PERSONAL” and the decision that it was already finished. But I still didn't show it to anyone, only Rebeca and my children knew of its existence, but not even they had read it. That's where I was when I tripped and rolled on the ground, fortunately nothing serious happened to me, by Wednesday I was already running again. It's funny how the name of the book came about. One day, while I was sharing a few beers with Guille at the pool, he asked me what the book was about. I began to explain to him. After a while he interrupted me, ...

  Race on Tuesday, April 29 Race on Friday, May 2 It's already May and the weather is still cool, it's great for running, but I want it to get warmer to enjoy the pool. This week I felt motivated, now everything is ready for the publication of my book, it has been quite an adventure. I had been worried for a long time about write it, what I have learned is that writing it is only one part, yes the main part, but only one part. The first thing was to gain the confidence that I could write a text that was worthwhile. I don't mean that I didn't believe in being able to have clear writing, because of my training and work I wrote many texts, but technical ones. Reports, reports, articles, but in these you always have to be clear and concise, therefore they are dry texts. Being able to write something that was entertaining, that's what I doubted I could do. I tried several times, but I wasn't satisfied and quit. It was during the confinement of the pandemic when I was...
