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:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
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.

I see they've bought a cake out in honour of your birthday yesterday The packaging for the Unicorn Slices features colourful rainbows and unicorn motifs

I failed in the odd sock day, I was too embarrassed to wear odd socks to the podiatrist but at least I found why the pain in left foot it was high instep and movement on metatarsals causing wear, inflammation and burr on tarsal so I'm getting orthotics made so my walking can get back to enjoyable walks, still got the stinky cold but went to work but felt washed out so I didn't go for a walk after work, I settled for coffee and ginger nut biscuits they helped me feel better as feeling a total failure today in the sock/walking department :)

cheers lovely!

going to watch me eyes. I went to optician beginning of year before all the treatment and they had got worse, so had a new prescription. Will see if they degenerate on th tamoxibollox but at least I have a baseline. Went to bed at 8 last night so had 11 hours in bed, wouldn't say great sleep and head still feeling heavy but Hubbie up and we've made a plan for the day which includes a wry long walk! That's after we've ferried the kids to their various activities!!

its a sunny day I've had a cry today so no more allowed!

catch you all later
