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.

  • That looks lovely . I haven't the patience or concentration for a jigsaw, well done xx

       

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

    Hi everyone

    Thursday was my friends birthday and we went to a nearby animal rescue centre, it was great. You could go in most of the enclosures all the animals were very happy and friendly so I had lots of time stroking goats, sheep and cows.

    Birthday lunch in their vegan cafe.

    The whole day was good fun and a tonic!

    have been Working back to happiness today am making some overalls for a stress teddy and made a collage of pictures and memeories of people I have loved and lost xx

  • Hi ....go easy on yourself. Hope your tiredness has abated somewhat. I was out for an early walk... just around village and picked up a paper. I did intend to go for another walk this evening but got stuck in front of tv but did do a bit of hooping. Ive had too many lazy days, too many late nights and eating a bit of rubbish recently so hitting the pit early, no iPad after 10pm, should be earlier really. Tomorrow is another day...start again and be better Blush
