Well. Welcome to this thread.

You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.

This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.

It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.

The idea is that you can do any of these or none:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

 

Well here goes.

Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.

Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.

PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.

  • Early (for me) walk today, to next town and back with friend. Hot chocolate in the park for some welcome warmth! No sunshine today, cold and dank but good to be out. Now it’s time for lunchtime dog walk! Love to all, HFxx

  • I walked into town to drop off a sample and to pick up some Boots products I needed (masked of course) no pics as it was chilly and I needed to get back fast for a shopping delivery! 
    Lovely pics as always, ladies

    Anyway...I have just got back from being down by the River....I was a glorious morning and definately much prefer to go out then!! think this needs a caption! Xx

  • Took an early walk today which will hopefully be a regular occurrence so hope it’s ok to jump on here, usually I’m on the Awake thread. An hour and a half walk done and dusted, will do another couple of shorter ones later with the pooch

    Trees all look so bear but still beautiful

  • Morning all, welcome  and love your trees. They’re a bit of a passion of mine, bare or not! Actually I think they’re very elegant when bare and love seeing different light through their ‘skeleton’ profiles. 
     well done for your early walk, here’s my caption:

    ’You heard the announcement, keep your distance we’re one household and you’re not in it!’

    Havent been out yet but have done as hour’s wellness Nordic walking exercise zoom class! Some stretches were hard as I’ve had a 5 day gap. Tomorrow’s will hopefully be easier! 
    Photos later after walk.... Love to all, HFxx

    PS Joe Wicks is back on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Come on  that would be a great thing to get up for and your exercise for the day done and dusted. Please join me tomorrow!! You don’t have to do all the exercises, I don’t as I’ve got a prolapse so am careful re particular exercises.
