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.

  • Thanks  followed along to one of the classes as think I might have some cording in my forearm? 
    My temperature a bit up and down today but not gone above 37.2 so hopefully it will settle Pray tone2 and I don’t have to phone helpline. I have a headache and been sneezing a bit, also have a cold sore but it seems to be improving with Zovirax. First time this has happened, checked pee and no sign of infection there thankfully. 
    Anyone else had this? 

    Wishing you all peace and calm in the storm...with a helping of laughter and joy to bring healing Heart

  • Like the zany flamingos , and well found to , imagine it was good to get out if not a very exciting trip! I only managed more zigzags, on a village pond, and they’re more like ripples or shimmers really. But had a lovely countryside walk with a friend, definitely blew the cobwebs away ! 

    Tomorrow and Saturday it’s E which I think might be more fruitful. Xx
