It’s been a LONG couple of weeks!

Hey y’all! It’s been a LONG couple of weeks! I went to Florida with my parents and older sister and let’s just say walking didn’t go as planned! I barely got in 2 miles that week! This last week I was scheduled to be home by Wednesday... Well thanks to mechanic issues with the bus that I was on that didn’t happen! I ended up having to go back and spend a few extra days with my parents. But I told myself I wasn’t going to slack off from walking as bad as I had the week prior! Well I ended last week with 4.52 miles... Not as bad as the week before but nowhere near my normal mileage! 
I got home bright and early Sunday morning and was feeling super motivated since I was actually home in Mississippi! I ended up getting in 2 walks yesterday for a total of 2.64 miles!!! Today was even better! 
This morning I was so pumped and motivated to go walk! I felt a little sore and tired while walking(Probably thanks to all my traveling!) but I ended the walk with 2.50 miles... Which is the longest walk I have had in 3 weeks! 
Took it a little easier on myself tonight and got in another 1.05 miles for a total of 3.55 miles for the day!! Seeing that number made me feel so great y’all! I felt like myself again! 
My goal for this week... Get in at least one 3.10 miler!! After all we are less than 3 weeks away from #5Kround3!!! 



For now it’s time to put my PJ’s on and relax... Night y’all! 

❤️Hugs💙

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...

9.13 miles in TWO days

Image
Hey Y'all!  So when I saw earlier this week that North Mississippi was suppose to get a TON of rain today... I panicked! Hitting 500 is such a BIG deal to me and so I decided to push myself harder then I think I ever have.. and I walked a total of 9.13 miles in just TWO days! That is the most I have walked in just a 2 day period!  It was a little bit rough but I made it thru and I'm still able to walk just fine today. Some people may say "Your body can't handle that with your Spina Bifida!".... Well I'm here to tell you my body CAN  and DID handle it! Am I sore today... oh yeah! But that soreness isn't any worse then when I have walked any other day! I have had people tell me that "Oh your pushing yourself too hard!"! Most those people that tell me that don't know ANYTHING about Spina Bifida! Also I have had this body for 32 yrs I KNOW what it can and can't handle! Today is definitely a day of rest and relaxation... But you better believe...

And then there were TEN!!

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...
