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.

  • Evening All

    In a Dixon of Dock Green sort of way.

    I managed 2 hrs of gardening to day. Hit the ironing pile and even cleaned bathrooms. My Herceptin Hangover has lifted. See it in 3 weeks.

    Tomorrow I will be run ragged with Zippy Zhane my grandson....... that will clock up the steps.

    Hope you are all enjoying a cooler day as we are

    Take care

    Hi everyone

    i like the idea of paddle boarding, there is a place near here where we sometimes hire a row boat and go down the river. The last couple of times we have noticed they now hire paddle boards so I may try it next time.

    havent walked yet today, we are going up to the local for dinner so that will be our walk. The pic is from last nights walk.

    Hope you are all OK and staying cool Sunglasses 

  • Walk today wasn’t all that much fun, to the dentist for my hygienist appointment (I’m good and go regularly but still hate it as I was treated very badly as a kid, reason with myself but it still makes little difference!) then on to the chemist as (as usual) they didn’t have all our meds yesterday so had to order. Could they find them? A pretty useless load of folk in there today so a wait was the order, around 15 minutes for stuff that should have been already packed and labelled ready but no..... and then a mile back.....but the Apple Watch was happy, I closed 2rings, and all three by bed time!

  • Oh dear....you don’t need this angst with your Pharmacist.If it continues,I would change your Pharmacist.

    well done for keeping your teeth in check even though it is a bit unpleasant for you x
