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.

  • Take it easy, Seaspirit, a bit of R&R is needed every now and then!

    I walked over the hill to the newer shops on the edge of Hastings (which we hadn’t found before) and explored a nice sized M&S, but as I had no plastic with me I came back without extras! And it has a good food shop too, can see me exploring that as well as the clothes.....

    Then walked back along the beach....

    Lunch and tea well it would be rude not to. Plus after all the poop, special treats and energy builders are essential

    Galloping along the Thames tomorrow with Jacmatholmad. We may also need sustenance

    Hugs to those who keep going and to those who think about it .................... so that's me at the moment

    Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x

    Leolady thank you, I hope you are feeling a bit better.

    Violetsniff that is a lovely flower, is it a type of peony?

    We were at Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire yesterday, we did the stepping stones. I got half way then stopped and turned round to say something to my sister I think I should have just kept going as it felt a bit weird and I thought I might fall in!


    Happy day everyone
