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.

  • Hi everyone 

    having a lovely time in Cardiff with our younger son , walked for miles during the day , pjs on about 6.30 every night . So happy I’ve managed the 9hr train journey with two changes and having to stand for half an hour ( even though booked seats ) Arriva trains Wales should be ashamed of their  trains - so dirty , and cancelled bookings . But we got here ! Go home tomorrow and get the holiday brochures  out for November !Grinning

    meeting my welsh niece  and family tonight , haven’t  met her for 30 years ! 

    Excited

    I did 6 miles yesterday from the campsite, downloaded a guided walk & map on to my phone. I was fine once I got started but it took me half an hour to find the right place to start Laughing anyways it was lovely and nice to have some quiet time. 

    Mommy I love Sloe Gin, you will have a good amount this year.

    Leolady I hope you feel better soon. Lots of cold bugs going around, not very nice. 

  • Hi hope you feel better very soon!
