Bloggin with Kelley: My life with Spina Bifida and much more!!!

Hey y'all!  One week ago today I CONQUERED my SIXTH 5K!! And it was definitely ROUGH! When I got to the 5K site it was FREEZING! I thought to myself "You will warm up as you walk!"... That was not the case! I started out great and was hitting a great stride... That all changed at around the one mile mark! I'm not sure if it was because I was cold or what happened... But my knee just started to THROB! I slowed down to see if that would help and even stopped to stretch it out.. But nothing helped! I gotta be honest I at one point thought about dropping out.... But then I thought about how important it was to me to hit 1,500 miles and I sucked it up, dug my heels in and finished the last mile as strong as I could! I was definitely proud of myself after this one! I didn't give up or let my aches and pains get to me! I can now say I have CONQUERED SIX 5K's and walked over 1,500 miles! And that makes all the aches and pains worth it!  So this week since that 5K has ...

Hey y'all!  We are only THREE days from 5K #6!!! But even bigger than that.... As if tonight I am only FIVE miles from 1,500 miles!! I am only planning on doing one more walk this week so that I can hit 1,500 miles at the 5K.. Which makes Saturday a HUGE day for me!!  This morning I woke up WAY later than I was suppose to so I was slightly rushed... On top of that it was POURING! But with 1,500 miles in my sights I went over to the workout room and made 2.01 miles happen!! I gotta be honest today my body is SORE! But those are the times I just have to push a little harder to get it done! And that's exactly what I did!  Tonight after work the rain had subsided.. So I went to the local park I normally walk at and went for it! My body must have been feeling somewhat better caused I ended up getting in another 1.80 miles!!! I was definitely proud of myself after that one!!  So 3.81 miles for the day... That's what I'm talkin about y'all!! Now it's time to get my PJ...

Hey y'all!!  So this is going to be a HUGE couple of weeks! If you remember I said a few blogs ago(Before my fifth 5K!) that I wanted to get in 1-2 more 5K's in before the end of 2018... Well that 1-2 has now turned into 3... In FIVE WEEKS! So I already conquered the first 5K in this group of 3 last weekend.. Now it's 5K week again for the 2nd of the 3 5K's in just FIVE weeks!  If that wasn't AMAZING enough, if I keep to this weeks walking plan I will hit 1,500 miles walked by the finish of the 5K on Saturday!! That makes this week absolutely HUGE!  Last week I ended the week with 15.60 miles... But this week I am going all out! This morning thanks to daylight savings time I was up at the crack of dawn.. So I took full advantage of it! Unfortunately it was raining so I couldn't walk outside but that didn't stop me from getting in 2.01 miles on the treadmill! It definitely wasn't the fastest 2 miler I have ever done.. But I felt GREAT and got in the full ...
