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

Saturday was a BIG day of walkin! I woke up bright and early to head to Memphis and surprisingly my nerves were at an all time low.... That was until I got to Overton Park where the 5K was being held! My first big obstacle of the day was that I had to walk over half a mile from my car to the start finish line! I made it to the registration table, got signed in and then the nerves really hit me!  The 5K started and I felt GREAT... For the first mile and a half! It was all down hill from there! My little legs started to get tired and I was pretty much ready to be done! Then the lord sent me an angel in the form of the amazing Miss Janelle! She walked the last half mile or so and honestly I wouldn't have made it without her! According to my timer I finished in 1hr and 12min! Which I am totally ok with!  I went on this morning and my official time was 1hr 14min which is a little disheartening but it will get better! Spring has sprung and walking outside will be the thing now! So I...

Hey y'all!  This has been a pretty BIG week of walkin!! First BIG thing(And in my opinion the BIGGEST moment of the week!)..... I hit 1,700 miles walked since November of 2016!!! This is such a HUGE deal for me! I could have never in a million years imagined when I began this walking journey that I would accomplish walking that many miles! And I'm just getting started! Now it's time to go after 2,000!!!  The second big thing was I was able to get back above 17 miles for the week!! This week has been somewhat of a struggle motivation wise for me... So for me to be able to say I was able to walk 17.47 miles for the week is HUGE!  Last big thing is as of this morning we are EXACTLY ONE week from 5K #8!!! Earlier this week I was able to get in my traditional “Mock 5K”... It wasn’t as fast as last fall but it’s getting back up there! After Mother Nature forced me to drop out of the last 5K you better believe I have been checking the weather for next weekend EVERY day... And th...

Hey y'all!  It's been a while since I have blogged and ALOT has happened!! As everyone knows I was suppose to participate in my 8th 5K the Saturday after I CONQUERED my 7th... Well unfortunately Mother Nature kept me from being able to compete😞 I was was so incredibly heart broken! I moped around for a little bit and then I decided to stop moping and start looking for another 5K... And that's when I registered for the DisABILITY 5K!! As of this morning I am exactly TWO weeks from my 8th 5K and I am just praying Mother Nature cooperates... Fingers crossed!  The second big thing that has happened is that as of today I'm only 4.50 miles from hitting 1,700 miles!! That number is so darn huge to me!! I set a goal at the beginning of the year to hit 1,200 miles by the 2yr anniversary of my first 5K.... Hitting 1,700 miles puts me only 300 miles from that goal!!!  The last big thing that happened is I was able to get back to over 15 miles last week for the first time since be...
