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

Hey y'all!  It's been a pretty great week of walking! The week started out somewhat slow but got a BIG boost on Wednesday... When I was able to get back to 3.10 miles for the first time since The Bad Dog 5K in April!! It was definitely not an easy 3.12 miles! My body is just trying to adjust to walking in the Mississippi heat again and so I definitely had to stop and take a rest a few more times then I would have liked... But I made it thru!!  Getting back over 3.10 miles was definitely the boost I needed to hit my second big goal for the week... Getting back to 18 miles!! Lately I have been taking Saturday off completely but I knew if I did that I would be 1.05 miles shy of 18! So I sucked it up this morning got up and get in that last 1.05 miles I needed to hit 18!! Actually I was able to get in 1.07 miles but I mean who's counting😉! With this mornings walk I will end up with 18.02 miles for the week!! After hitting 18.02 miles for the week I am now only 147.90 miles fro...

Hey y'all!  The heat is on here in Mississippi! Literally and figuratively! It's been a little bit of a slow week for me walking wise. It took me till halfway thru the week to even get a 2 miler in! My body has definitely been tired and sore and adjusting to walkin in the heat again hasn't been real fun either! But I pushed thru it!  At the beginning of the week I set a goal for myself "Get to at least 16 miles for the week!"! Now on a normal week I would have hit that Friday night... But this week was a STRUGGLE and when I looked at my mileage on Friday I was just under a mile from 16😞 My Saturday was SUPER busy but I told myself no matter what I was going to get that last mile I needed in! So I woke up early on Saturday and did just that! It definitely was t the fastest mile I have ever had but I was proud of the fact that I didn't just give up and not give it one last push to hit 16 miles!  As of today we are just under FOUR weeks from me doing something I...

Hey y'all!  So it's been a pretty BIG week of walkin! After conquering my ninth 5K on Saturday I had my eyes set on another BIG walkin goal... Hitting 1,800 miles walked since November of 2016!! And Thursday I made that goal a reality! But let me just tell you getting to that BIG moment was not easy AT ALL! Normally after conquering a 5K I have always given my body and legs somewhat of a break by sticking to EASY walkin... But I had a goal to hit so easy walkin was just not gonna cut it! So I pushed this little body to the extreme! I pushed thru the aches and pains and it paid off Thursday night when I hit 1,800 miles!!  That number is so incredibly HUGE for me! To go from the little girl no one thought would even stand on her own, to 34yrs later the grown woman whom has conquered more than anyone EVER thought she could! And the biggest moments are still yet to come! I am now within 200 MILES of hitting 2,000 MILES which was my BIGGEST goal I set for myself at the beginning of...
