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.

    Here is a pic from yesterday, Andy Murray at Eastbourne. It was a top day out but it was SO hot and not much shade. It was a long day too so I was quite tired last night and have woken up weary today.

    Never mind! 

    I think swimming outside it deffers a preferred option in this weather.

    Stay cool today!

  • Moomy, the heat is flattening me! I don't go out during the day, saving errands and walks till evening, and fans are working overtime. Swimming was lovely yesterday, really cools you down. We are off to Cornwall on Friday. Looking forward to sea breezes! Xxxx

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

    Forgiven after posting seaside pics

    Mmmmm chocolate trying to avoid as determined to drop the lazy butt fat from chemo and RT.

    Did over 10,00 steps today returning things and shopping jobs. Parked outside of town and walked in. Went early so cool. As like everyone sunshine BC and fair skin not compatible
