Aquel 14 de Octubre
Ese 14 de octubre me encontré con un viejo amigo, después de 17 años. Yo estaba en mi peor momento: con sobrepeso, sin energía, atrapado en malos hábitos. Él me habló de equilibrio, de constancia, de dar un simple paseo. Nunca pensé que esas palabras cambiarían mi vida. Ese día marcó el inicio de un viaje de transformación — del caminar al correr, del desorden al hábito, de la soledad a una hermandad que sigo agradeciendo hasta hoy.
