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:
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.
Ooh I like your Glimmers Sabrina22 ! I think I get lots of glimmer moments when out walking, particularly with a dear friend who’s my main walking buddy. We chat a lot but also stop and just look/ contemplate at various points. Not planned, just spontaneous moments when one of us notices something lovely, could be a view, or a bird, or sometimes the sound of a river or birdsong. Or sometimes ‘listening’ to the silence, usually when walking through woods.
A couple of photos from yesterday’s walk…. To a different town and back (cafe stop of course).
And well done re yoga Flossie25 , I’ve restarted online exercise classes and will hopefully continue regularly. Love to all, HFxx
Hi JoulesG I am continuing, took Letrozole I initially. My joints are sore, particularly my back. It was worse with Letrozole. Just started Bisphosphonates because I have osteoporosis. My sleep has been affected just working out how to help myself. Painkillers needed. My back seems to have affected my bladder I think. Just wondering if I need to do anything about it.
Yes glimmers if hope everywhere. Nature is like that, it gets ves us hugs and rewards all the time.. xx
You are my inspiration, you have been through so much. I want to stay around for my son as long as I can. My back has gone at the moment. So many useless appts this week. Abortive mammogram, it was the wrong kind of appt. Should have said Surveillance not screening. Wouldn't you think in this day and age they would sort that out. I didn't even know the relevance of that. Practising the healing code from the book of the same name.
Onwards and flatwards in fact not flat on the back too painfull at the mo. Xx
Sorry to hear that your back has gone Sabrina. Hope it improves soon.

I love this! I'm 2 weeks post mastectomy and experiencing huge emotions the past few days, I literally am in floods of tears all the time. Yesterday I had a few hours without the kids and i took myself on a walk (I'm a runner, gym goer and yoga lover so all this has been missing from my life recently). I walked a good 1.5 hours, I listened to a podcast for a bit and I listened to my thoughts a bit too - I felt so much more like me afterwards. I've committed to a walk a day just for me. I normally would head to the woods but still can't drive so I'll be pottering through my town and meadows later, thinking of all of you. Walking yesterday definitely brought me back to happiness
