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

Well y'all after having to back out of the St Jude 5K last December I can FINALLY say I CONQUERED my SEVENTH 5K!!! And it was the hardest 5K I have EVER walked in!! When I woke up bright and early yesterday I was SO pumped and ready to go walk!! I got to Shelby Farms where the 5K was being held and parked my car.... Then I realized I was in the wrong spot! So I got back in my car and drove over to the parking lot near the start/finish line... It was then that I was told that check in was down the hill in the pavilion! That should have been my first clue that this was going to be a VERY hilly adventure! I went and got my swag bag and bib number and made the trek back up the hill to sit in my car where it was warm.. Oh did I forget to mention it was FREEZING in Memphis yesterday!  Well race time finally came and we all lined up at the start finish line where I found out I wasn't the only person walking in the 5K!! I got off to a great start and was enjoying all the scenery and th...

Hey y'all! We are now ONE week from the Race for Sight 5K!! AND TWO weeks from the Frosty 5K!! It's crazy to think I am only a week away from being able to say I have CONQUERED SEVEN 5K's!!  I normally do a traditional Mock 5K the week before a 5K... But since I will be walking a 5K two weeks in a row I decided to move my mock 5K to earlier in the week... And it definitely has me feeling pretty confident for next week!! The rain held off long enough for me to get it in outside so I was able to get a good grasp of what my time could be... And I must say that time ain’t too shabby😁 Today was suppose to be my last day to GO HARD for this week... But to be honest my body just wasn't having it! So I scratched the 2 miler I had planned and instead got in 1.50 miles! I am slightly bummed about not hitting 18 miles for the week but I know it's EXTREMELY important to not push my body to the point I can't finish the 5K next week... And hey 17.57 is not that far off!! I a...

Hey y'all!  This week has been a fairly easy week of walkin! I started the week last Sunday with 3.10 miles but since then it's been easy walkin! But even with it being an easy week I was still able to hit 18 miles for a THIRD week in a row... Which is something I haven't done since OCTOBER!!! I am so proud of all I have been able to accomplish the last three weeks! December was such a rough month for me walking wise and the fact that I have been able to bounce back from that makes me one happy girl!! I was also able to face my fear of the chiropractor this week and I am so incredibly glad I did! I feel 100x times better y'all!  Now let's talk about this mornings walk... Because of having mid morning plans it was an EARLY morning walk! I was able to hit 2 miles and I must say it was one of the best walks I have had in a LONG time. Yes my body was tired from all the walking this past week... But the pain and soreness was nowhere near as bad as its been! It was defini...
