Only 15.10 miles from 2,000!

Hey y'all! 
OMG y'all this last week of walking has been AMAZING! My knee is FINALLY starting to feel back to normal and I'm slowly starting to see the mile times I was seeing before this whole tendinitis issues began back in June! After getting in over three miles for the day on Thursday I decided to take it somewhat "easy" with my walkin on Friday... And still managed to get in 2.75 miles for the day... Which put me at 17.03 miles for the week!!! Y'all that is the highest amount of miles I have had since the beginning of June!! I was hitting between 17-18 miles almost every week last year with no problem but this year it hasn't been as easy! So to see that number again makes me one happy girl!! 







But the thing that made me the most happy.... The fact that with thanks to that 17.03 miles I am now only 15.10 miles from hitting one of my biggest goals of the year... Hitting 2,000 miles walked since November of 2016!!! I've had some people say "Why is that such a big deal?"... It's a big deal because NO ONE(Not even my parents!) ever thought that I would be able to accomplish that! I was the girl that doctors said would NEVER walk! For a while no one was sure if I would even be able to stand on my own!! I'm defying all the odds the doctors set against just by walking on my own!! That's why hitting 2,000 is such a HUGE deal! It honestly makes me emotional just thinking about the fact that by this time next week I will be able to say I conquered 2,000 miles!! 



And not to be forgotten is the second BIG goal I had for 2019... To conquer my TENTH 5K!!! And as of today I am only THREE weeks from CONQUERING that goal!!! I am right on track to make 2019 my biggest year of walkin yet!! It's gonna be a BIG couple of weeks y'all!! Stay tuned!!

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

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...
