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.

  • Take care , more hugs, and hope you sleep.

    Hope you are getting proper help from OTs and Physios now xxx

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

  • I dislike extreme heat too, makes me feel rubbish...it’s very debilitating... sounds as though it’s sweltering there. I’m in cooler climes as compared to home ... India Joy 

    get well soon.. you and OH enjoy the rest

    lovely pictures ... you’re doing fab getting out and about and going to your activity classes. Once we push ourselves to do something we find we enjoy it don’t you think

    well .. I’ve not been out for an early morning walk since the other day but I’ve been doing my exercises and yoga daily plus did a short time on the treadmill.

    hope it’s cooler for you soon

  • My walk today will be round a nice cool supermarket, hahaha! Otherwise I’m going to flake out in the middle of the day as I’ve been up and busy very early; making a cake to take plus doing more washing!

    Flossie whereabouts in India are you? I hope you are having a great time.

    Had a walk in the woods today trying to keep out of the sun, it’s still so hot!

  • Thank you , slowly getting there, energy coming back Went on a local park walk without flaking out, and sooo enjoyed it. Still have to sort my eye out. Poked myself in the eye at the start of it all, and still sore a week later!! Seeing optician. What a. Idiot!! Xxx me not the optician.

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

  • I hope it’s cooler today for everyone. pleased you’ve been out and about without feeling flaky...on the up. Steady away.  It’s so easy to poke oneself in the eye, or whack oneself in the mouth as I’ve often done... ouch. I’m in the south ..lovely pic

    out for walk to shops last evening... today I’m behind with exercises, thought I’d have breakfast first, so must do something soon. I’ll certainly be out for a walk later...might go to a local park ( in a city )

    Xx

  • Looks stunning, Flossie!

    Glad you're feeling a bit better, Seaspirit, but sorry about your eye.

    Not sure how much walking I will be doing whilevaway but I bet my Apple Watch will tell me off if I don’t do some!
