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.
Lumpectomy on Thursday with lymph biopsies, Magee 6k walk today in glorious autumnal sun. I am pretty fit and want to keep that up so walking as much as I can is the sim ore chemo/radiotherapy I don’t know what I’m getting yet lol. I have been out walking most days since diagnosis and can’t recommend highly enough
Hi all, great autumn photos Northerner and I love those chunky sheep! Have been in Scotland with dear daughter, visiting family and friends. 4 nights away, split between Dunbar and Edinburgh. Plenty of rain but also some sunshine. Will hopefully post a few pics…. Success! Coast view and a lovely duet in St Giles Cathedral - a practice for an evening performance of a selection of arias.
And agree re walking Angy pangy , it’s my sanity saver! Love to all, HFxx
