The day after the Heritage Days 2 miler!!

Hey y'all! So yesterday was my first big walk in while! I participated in the Heritage Days 2 mile walk in my hometown! It wasn't a 5K but that doesn't mean it didn't give me just as much anxiety... As a matter of fact it gave me more! The morning of the walk I was doing pretty good.. Until I got the site of the walk and got in line to get my race bib... After that I was a hot mess! There was even tears at one point before the race🙈 But as soon as I got started I was all better! I finished the race with one of my best 2 miles times and the best part for me was my grandparents, sister and a few friends were able to come watch me walk! After that race I am definitely pumped up for the Forrest Spence 5K in just over a month!! 



Today I switched my focus to my 2nd goal I have for the week... Getting back to 18 miles! I had a 2 mile walk planned for this morning again... And ended up with 2.03 miles!! The time wasn't as great as yesterday and it was definitely another HOT walk(Not as hot as yesterday though!)but I made it thru! 



Tonight I had another HOT but awesome walk... Until it started thundering off in the distance so I had to haul butt to get my while 1.50 miles in... Thankfully I got it all in! I was a hot and sweaty mess after.. But hey I got the whole walk in! 



I'm right on track to hit 18 miles... Stay tuned to see if it happens! 

❤️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
