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:
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.
If only we had not had to deal with all the emotional and mental poop that cancer manages to bring to our lives we would all be size 10 and planning for Olympic gold. But we had all the poop; we are still here; we support one another; we support new people and we have a giggle with our virtual friends
Now stop beating yourself up or I will pop by to help you de-clutter (read the other post). I am good at binning
Hugs

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
Loving the walking pics... such variety and beautiful scenery.
ronstar ... so pleased you had a fab time walking. Can understand it tiring you out a bit. You’ve got some great plans for 2019.
I went off the boil after the first Jan ...was tired and grumpy...but perked up from yesterday after I adjusted my mental attitude and increased my activities. A 2 hour walk sounds really good and that is my aim as long as it’s not freezing outside as I don’t do ‘the cold’ these days.
Happy walking, aquarobics etc
hugs xx

Home from Whitby and full of cold. So didn't walk far today. Just to Aldi and back and that doesn't warrant a picture . . . .
Knaresborough in a little bit of winter sun this morning. A lovely gentle walk - Yorkshire rocks people!
Awww Flossie25...my sympathies are with you!! After last winter when it snowed 4-5 times around here...I also decided I don’t “do” cold anymore!!
I also have a cold so my sympathies with those who have one!
Went and did Sunday School this morning! Loved it ...walking back to happiness. In my own sweet way!!
Anyway...we have SUNSHINE!!!!
So many with colds ... but tis the season. Hope you all get well soon.
Not so cold today but just hoofed it round the shops so far. Warmed up by doing wii fit for half an hour before going out
hope it’s a good day for all
