500 miles in 10 months!!

I did it!! I accomplished my first 5K walk and now I have hit 500 miles walked in just TEN months.... All within a week of each other!! 
Y'all I knew I had some fight, determination and drive in me.... But this walking journey has proven to me I have a whole lot more then I EVER thought! Today I walked 2.74 miles and it put me at 500 miles!!


 Next to finishing the 5K last week this one felt like the biggest win I have ever had! I have told y'all before I use to be the girl that would find the closest parking spot just so I didn't have to walk... and the girl everyone always had to wait on cause she had to stop and rest or was going super slow! I was the little girl with her walker whom no one thought would walk or even stand on her own! 

This past week has been absolutely HUGE for me! I have been able to show that even with Spina Bifida I can accomplish great things! I hope that with this walking journey I can continue to inspire people with Spina Bifida (Or any disability!) to NEVER give up on their goals and dreams! To NEVER be defined by what a doctor says or what others try to tell you! The only one that can decide how far you can reach is you and God! So NEVER give up! I'm sure all the doctors that said I wouldn't walk would be shocked at how far I have come! 18-22 miles a week completely UNASSISTED except for my braces! So get out there and show those doubter what your made of! #BuiltSpinaBifidaSTRONG #500milesconquered #Onto1000 #WalkinwithKelley #SpinaBifidaWarrior

Hey y'all!!  Yesterday was such a HUGE morning of walking!! My body decided to wake me up SUPER early! Which was both good and bad... Good because it meant I was able to stretch out more and ice my knee... Bad in that it gave my anxiety more time to ramp up! I decided since I was up early I would go ahead and head to the race site and get checked in. So all summer long I have said my theme song for the year is "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten.. Y'all I kid you not that song came on not even two minutes into my drive! God works in mysterious ways is all I gotta say about that one! He knows what we need and when we need it! I arrived at the Memphis Botanic Gardens where the 5K was taking place, parked and went to check in!  After I checked in I went back to my car to just chill and TRY to relax... Who am I kidding relaxing was not happenin! My nerves were in OVERDRIVE so I decided to just get out of the car and go walk around a little bit to see if that would help... As I...

97.60 miles from 2,000 miles!!

Hey y'all!  So this has been one AMAZING week of walkin! I knew at the beginning of the week if I could push myself I would hit 1,900 miles before the end of the walkin week.. So you better believe that is exactly what I did! And it totally paid off because on Thursday morning I hit that magic number! But it definitely wasn't easy at all! Since I had pushed myself so hard the first half of the week when it came time to push and hit the last 2.80 miles my body was not having it! I knew when I started the walk that it was definitely going to be a struggle to finish.. But I was t about to just give up! I told myself it didn't matter how slow I went or how many times I had to stop  I was hitting 2,000 miles! And that is exactly what I did! Surprisingly I didn't have to stop a rest a whole lot but I was SUPER slow! But I pushed thru and hit 1,900 miles walked since November of 2016!!! I was definitely excited about this milestone but to be honest I was even more excited abou...

Hey y'all! So after hitting over miles yesterday, today was an "easy" day. This morning I was watching some of my nieces and nephews so it was a treadmill walking morning... I ended up walking a little later than I planned but I ended up getting in 1.42 miles!! My treadmill time is SLOWLY getting better!!  Tonight my sister was home so I got in a walk outside!! It was definitely the hottest walk I have dealt with this summer... But I made it another 1.13 miles!! That was over what I was planning!! AND my mile time was UNDER 20 minutes!!  Tomorrow is the last day of the walking week and I am right on track to have my highest mileage week in over a month.. Stay Tuned!!  ❤️Hugs💙 Kelley
