English writing practice IV - Describing a picture

I just came back from the mountain. The weather was cool. Overall, I felt good and my race pace was good. However, I did have some difficulties in the middle of the race. When running you have to be aware of your body and use common sense to address any problems that could arise during the race . Muscle cramps occur when you push your body too far. When I was in the middle of the race I had this feeling that I was about to get cramps. In the last part of the competition I decided to reduce my pace as a preventive measure.

Running requires a lot of effort, it is more intense than running(???How can running be more intensive than running? They are the same thing. Did you mean walking or jg?). Besides, running is more beneficial to the Respiratory and Circulatory System than jogging or walking.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that I did a mental exercise while I was running. I described (or should I say, tried to describe) what I was seeing using English. This writing used some of the ideas of the aforementioned mental exercise.

Today I will travel to Barrancabermeja and perhaps I will be out on the town tonight.

The attached picture shows the main park of Giron (Colombia). I will describe this picture in my next notebook entry.


Very well written and I'am sure you just meant jogging/walking not running in that sentence. Everything makes sense, the only thing is you use a more formal way of writing. There is nothing wrong with that though, it just sounds really serious since I used to run to and I use more casual and running specific terms to talk about a race. If it was just a regular person that doesn't run they wouldn't be able to tell you were an English learner right away.
