FINALLY got in my first walks of the New Year!!

Hey y’all! Oh my lord have we had an artic blast the last few days! I have felt more like I am living at the North Pole instead of Northern Mississippi! With temps in the single digits I have not been able to get in any good walks... Which has definitely been hard on me! Thankfully today we hit over 20 degrees and I decided to layer up and go walk! But first I had to endure going to the Ortho Doc to discuss the issue with my hips and back... That didn’t go how I thought it would! Looks like I am stuck with at least 6 weeks of physical therapy... But he was VERY happy to hear about my walking and said that I should keep up the good work with it! So that’s what I did when I got home! It wasn’t a HUGE mile morning... But I was happy to at least be out walking! 
I debated all day if I would walk twice today... But around 3:30 I decided to go for it! It was a lot more windy then this morning which made it feel colder... But I made it thru and got in another 1.07 miles!!! 

So 2.16 miles for the day.... Not a HUGE number but to me it’s a good start to the New Year! Hopefully one day this week I can get back up to my normal numbers!! But for now I am going to go put on some warm PJ’s and hide under a big blanket! Night y’all!!! 

❤️Hugs💙

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...

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
