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.

    Morning lovely people.

    Cold this morning so have gone for road walking as stiles and gates are a challenge but couldnt resist a bit of countryside  - it is beautifully quiet.

  • Such a lovely though cold and ‘north-windy’ day I couldn’t resist getting out for a walk.

    instead of getting into the country I walked into town and round to near the church, took a few pics....

    Gorgeous!

  • Ooo!!!!!

    are those tiny Snowdrops!!!!?...

    What darling little flowers!!

    well,to add to my increasing confusion it didnt help when my phone just went,and I ,(having rested in a state of near-collapse all day with vile migraine,bad cold,and all round general weepiness,)awaiting the GP to call back,found myself listening my GP asking me if I would like my oven professionally cleaned!!(no it wasn’t my GP!)

    oh dear...and ....loving the idea that you have the goggles now!!

  • Yes, Violetsniff, they really are snowdrops! 

    Hugs xxx

  • Oh My Days...am going to start weeping again!!soooo lovely thankyou x

  • Lovely photos , snowdrops are my favourite flowers! Well my walks for the last 2 days have been in the dark, seems to take me ages to get any kind of act together after having to dash out of the house at 9.30 for zapping sessions (how did I ever leave at 6.45 to get to work? How will I do this again soonish??) so I just do a circuit of steep long set of steps through a wooded area and off round the streets. 

    That was meant to show view from the steps of the crescent moon behind a tree, instead it's mainly a wall and a street light. Oh well I'll keep trying! And hopefully walk in daylight before the week is out.

    Happy walking all! NNxx

    Don’t be afraid to cry. It will free your mind of sorrowful thoughts. – Hopi
  • Love the snowdrops , xxxx

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

  • Owww ladies {{{{Thank You}}}} ....

    , today was a new day, I drew a line under not going the day before and started this day 'thinking' good thoughts.

    , you are right, today is going to be a Good Day, from the lines of the song 'today is going to be a good, good day'

    , a new day indeed and your lovely photos prove this.

    , what a lovely memory from your late papa, 'it has a happy ending' - I hope your late papa's words help you to 'push forward' when you feel low or times are not so bright, you have to carry on a move forward.... because it has a happy ending.
    You read right the 'Fruit Loops are going on Tour' and our lovely is piloting our plane, you'll recognise her wearing biggles goggles and a big scarf and a smile hahaha owww  

    Well ladies after all you kind comments, plus Leolady out swimming at some time that seems to be off my radar at the moment, I did it, the day was running away with me getting no where, I don't know whats happening, the time is flying by, I can't say I am sitting watching tv - I am doing 'things' of some description, yet nothing seems to be getting done.... accept that is, I did get out for my walk, I went a 'little' extra, which I was pleased about.  Its funny as I'd seen a programme about eating protein and how it helps workouts.  Well on Monday I had 'bacon and egg' for breakfast (okay, okay lunch) and my walk up the hill seems fairly straightforward, it wasn't hard, even after not walking since before Christmas, today was 'ham and cheese' and that same hill seemed a struggle, I did it, but I could tell.  I am pleased I made the effort, thank you again ladies 

    Thats me then, another late night - sleep well xxxx

    Other fitness trackers are available.

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
