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.

  • Hi all, have walked each day this week but no photos, some walks in the dark! Finally today my favourite walk to next town and back, beautiful day for it ....

  • Another 2+ miles walked/jogged.....at least, some jogging, not quite as much as I am still struggling a bit from Wednesday....

    it was a lovely day, saw a birds nest; why do they build such untidy messes this time of the year? 
    why does the site put them up on their side??????

  • Well my photo which looked like it hadn't downloaded at all has been turned upside down!!! What's going on??? Oh well can always turn the screen round I guess. And yes I agree about all the messy nests... or are they just more visible and more disturbed by wind when there are no leaves? HFxx

  • Morning all, looks like a rainy day but signs of blue sky too so maybe brighter later... Tufty is gorgeous , I’d love to see a red squirrel! 

    New nordic walking route yesterday in a nearby country park, was chatting to the instructor and the other walker so can’t remember the route at all! Very good ‘blow the cobwebs away’ session and found a lovely path back home, avoiding the busy roads I’d walked to get there. No photos though as was strapped into my poles and a bit too desperate for the loo on the way back to stop! 

    Happy Sunday all, hope I’ll havd some photos later...HFxx

    Well done everyone for getting out and about. It’s very windy here and I think about to rain but I am going for a bike ride regardless.

    Heres a pic from yesterday’s walk. Have a good day all
