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.
Hi all
I know this is a walking thread and I hi-jack it sometimes with a running post, but I figure running is like a sister to walking. Well tonight I am going to be even worse - maybe a distant cousin of walking. I really couldn't face a cold, dark run after work so I did the circuit training they taught me at the hospital "cancer gym" Fair enough, they used to make me do an hour and tonight I did 30 minutes but better than nothing!
Tomorrow I have an early doors appointment at the lymphoedema clinic so at least I can say I exercised today - hoping for a gold star obviously! Not sure how I feel about it - on the one hand, I've been waiting for it since October, but on the other - I will know for sure whether it is or isn't so there's a 50/50 chance that my last glimmer of hope will be dashed! I know it will be fine whatever and I am grateful for the opportunity to be here to have lymphoedema but.... you know!
BTW it's a hula hoop in the photo - had so much fun doing it at the gym sessions that I bought my own and completely recommend it - good for your core and suprisingly good cardio- plus you can't really hula without smiling.
just a little add on to the advice from Leolady56 - if you ever want to be able to find something that isn't a long-running thread, then underneath the 'email notifications' box is the 'discussion tools' box with the option to "save this discussion in my favourites" If you click on that then the link will be saved to your profile - from your profile you just click on Favourites from the left hand menu and it's all there. It's good if there is useful information in a thread that you want to come back to later - especially as our group is so busy - it can take ages to search for something!
Happy pancake day everyone

Oh my what a frustrating day....but I did do a half hour cold and wet walk before lunch 
Rads appointment EPIC FAIL! My poor little boob has shrunk too much. i was so careful sorting out the seroma which is now behaving I didn't really realise but it is smaller. Nothing I could have done though just recovery from the trauma it's been through. So am now waiting to hear after th physicists have reviewed whether can go ahead or go back to planning!
just a delay and nothing more serious but oh sooooooo frustrating! Anyone else had this issue?
keep walking, if you can in this bloody awful weather!
