Day 5 | @gbiprz from Puerto Rico I ran a 5k early this morning. I love running, but I don’t enjoy these kinds of events. I don’t like crowds, and I am easily distracted when exercising around a lot of people. I prefer solo sports like swimming. I did this one for my dad. He asked me to join him because the purpose of this 5k is to raise awareness to stop child abuse. As a child, every time I got rid of old clothes and toys, my dad always made sure to donate them to mistreated children’s shelters. Unfortunately my grandmother, his mother, used to hit her kids for scolding purposes. I was never hit as a child, and I’m sure my dads upbringing had something to do with this. The goal is to learn from our parents mistakes…to become better people because of them.
