Over 18 miles for the week Y'all!!

Hey y'all! 
This has been an AMAZING week of walkin!! I started off a little slow and sluggish... But Tuesday morning I kicked to into HIGH GEAR with a major goal in my sights... 1,600 miles!! Wednesday morning I looked at my app and said to myself "Today's the day you hit 1,600 miles!!"! I got in an AMAZING 2.51 miles on the treadmill and that put me 1.50 miles from 1,600!!! Well that evening you better believe I gave it everything I had and I DID IT!! I can now say I have walked over 1,600 miles since November of 2016!! I gotta be honest even with all I have accomplished walking wise the last 2yrs.. That number COMPLETELY blows my mind! No one (including myself!) could have EVER imagined 34 yrs ago all that these little legs would help me to accomplish! The doctors didn't even think I would be able to walk on my own or if I would even be able to walk at all!! But God had big plans for for me and these little legs!



After hitting that number I was totally motivated to hit another goal I had set for the week.. Hit 18 miles for the week for a second week in a row! Before this mornings walk I was sitting at 17.07 miles... Well I was able to push myself to get in 2 miles.. Which put my at 19.07 miles for the week!! One mile OVER 18!! I'm so incredibly proud of all that this little body has been able to CONQUER this week! 








As of today we are exactly THREE weeks from the Race for sight 5K(A.K.A 5k #7) and exactly FOUR weeks from the Frosty 5K(A.K.A 5k #8) and y'all I am back to feeling SUPER confident about both of those 5K's!! Time to show the world(Or maybe just the Memphis/North Mississippi area😉) what the little Spina Bifida WARRIOR is made of!!

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...
