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
A successful day still got stinky cold but mustered up the umph to get for a 3km gently walk very sunny here but air brisk and fresh, I felt so chuffed to get back walking again, its amazing we can forget what we've gone through, I was talking to my dad last week and was saying I count myself lucky my last cold was 2 years ago, he's reply was well you've had to deal with bigger shit than that last year. I had totally forgotten the BC. but having this stinky cold is I realise I'm not invincible and where as before I could strruggle on now the fatigue rears its ugly head to remind me to be kind to my body and it still needs time to recover, I am now on Citalopram and having success with no hot flushes so in all everything is happy in my life:)

My trip out today was for Oncology clinic :-( only walk was to clinic & back from car but did manage to run up & down 4 flights of stairs without resus!! I was impressed I’ve still got it!!
Dr didn’t buy my suggestion of 4 weeks for chemo or omitting/having alternative to GCSF injections. However she did listen to my endless questions and wasn’t nicey when I cried so I could reign it back in!! So bloods on Saturday and maybe chemo.
Done a bit too much at home since hospital so feet up with a hot choc now.
Take care everybody xxx
No time or energy for those beautiful walks I'm afraid. But well over 10 000 steps and 60 floors per day installing an intruder alarm. Massive grade 2 listed house. Can I name drop? He's a Bonham-Carter......
I must try to get out with the camera more though.

I also went to the shoe-menders today....I took a notion the other day to maybe learn tap dancing...on my own following an online lesson,obviously...so,not needing to buy spesh shoes,I thought I would take an old pair to the cobbler to put taps on.Turns out he doesn’t do it unless I provide the metal taps.So will see if I can find some online xx
