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.

    Just been catching up here and enjoying all your lovely pics. Had a good walk in the sunshine yesterday. Today it’s overcast and tomorrow is gonna be blustery and wet so that’s when I’ll do my cleaning!

    Happy walking one and all

  • Cheeky weekend by the sea but it is getting very windy now after a fantastic day. Even managed to trap a few rays !!

  • Lovely photos ladies!! Didn’t take any yesterday, shame as it was a glorious day with unbroken blue skies by the afternoon. Nordic walk workout first thing (aching arms today!) then canal walk with friends. Too busy talking to take photos. But took later photo of crocuses in the garden. Poor things must be battered by now as the storm has arrived overnight.... Keep safe everyone.... love to all, HFxx
