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.

    Lol! So it’s old editor to add photos and new editor to add emoji’s! Good luck with that ladies!

    We’ll really have to plan ahead what we want to post as if you switch between the two! I think all will be lost!

    Off for a walk in the rain with the dog now (sad emoji with tear]!

  •  Hi,had a nice walk to shops even though in rain took piccies of flowers on way...(when my Dad died I loved the flowers in gardens on way on my way to shops) Found some daffs trying hard to flower...“In much the same way as Remembrance Day uses the poppy. But whereas the poppy is a symbol for war, the daffodil is a symbol of the unified battle against cancer.”

    Woo hoo, I have just found this thread again! Now, I know I am thick but how do i keep the thread so I can follow it and hopefully upload onto it when I have a picture from my walk.  Started walking again when No 2 Son came over from USA at Christmas and dragged me out for long walks... I promised I would carry on but have not been as good as I should have been!

    I think it is a lovely idea and hope it continues.

    Well welcome back lovely lady.

    Firstly: In Latest activity tab on the Breast Cancer thread you amt find us

    Secondly: Discussions tab when clicked will lead you to all those threads you may need to do a bit of scrolling down on both of these.

    Thirdly: In the Search in Group you could type in the full name of the group and it will come up again a bit of scrolling may be needed.

    Finally: The email me replies at the end of each post could be ticked then an email will tell you when someone has posted - trouble is it can be delayed

    Well everyone else hope you enjoy a good walk today. I spent the morning with an oncologist woooo hooooo. Still no decision what next for me. So ok I will be walking more with you loverlies. Then it is hammering down outside so only managed a wee walk in the local town to post choccy hearts to my gorgeous girls, their partners and the famous Zippy who is the best garndson in the world. 

    Right weather had better cheery up or this site may need a name change. Dripping back to happiness.

    Until then tap this

    Hi Leolady,

    OMG!  That was the first record I ever bought! That brigs back memories...


    Thank you for your lovely message.  I have been for a walk in the rain, probably not a good idea as I was going to have my hair cut! But at least I have been out, and feel better for it.


    I understand that things have not been good for you lately so I am sending as many soft, furry hugs as you can take, and hope things look up for you soon.


    You cannot be old as that would make me ancient!


    Hugs

  • Well, I love Rod Stewart too . He's still got it after all these years!!

    No walking for me today, but a LOT of driving. 150miles or so. It took 2 hours to get from M25 J6 to Basingstoke......................
