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.

  • A huge WELL DONE to  2000 steps is a great achievement Thumbsup Good to meet you  I’m a new kid on the block too, it’s so good to get out in the great outdoors, I used to play a bit of golf years ago, a very calming past time.  loving the nails and great fungi .  I’d like a bit of your energy please Grin

     I’m taking inspiration from you, I’m going to decorate the tree Christmas tree today and try and do some Christmas baking.

    Its miserable in Devon today but yesterday I managed an hours walk on horseback with hubby and my boys (dogs) in tow and saw the first new Christmas lambs. They were absolutely gorgeous

    Have a good day all, onward and forwards you CAN do it

  •   Loverly sheep,

    yes,rather wet n grey outside.....so watched Service online (no car),and we are still in tier three so can’t share my friend’s car.

    well....nearly 11:30 !have you got a plan?

    I have my little dancing shoes out and am going to try to learn a new dance....hmmmmm.....

  • It’s raining like fun here, so my more normal (these days) jog/stomp on the spot till my Apple Watch tells me it’s a mile, then stretches and a type of push up x10. My arms aren’t strong, never have been, so it’s modified to feel tough but do-able. 
    stay safe, all

    Hugs xxx

  • Lovely photos everyone, I remember you talking about dancing before ! Did you do ballet as a child? And those lambs look super cute . And oh dear deer indeed, , what happened there??! 
    Just a soggy dog walk for me today, but did other stuff like decorating the tree and bathing the dog! She hates it, even with the promise of cheese (favourite treat) she had to be carried from our bedroom, where she’d gone to hide, to the bath! Photos are : our unique no carbon footprint skeleton tree (a lovely silver birch which had self seeded a foot from our house wall so was destined to go soon, sadly), and a floofy dog after her bath. Love to all, HFxx

  • , I so, so love your Christmas tree, such a briliant idea and looks amazing, it really does.  Now if I had done this, well it wouldn't be looking like that.  

    I laugh about the dog and the bath..... our hates it, staff rescue.... he has to be carried and placed in bath... with 'squeaky ball' in his mouth - he stands still, ball in mouth until its time to get out... lifted out and then runs off and the poor ball gets it xxx

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
  • Margaret, , you really have put me to shame today.  Massive well done to you and your walk.  Loving the photographs.... and now there was no need to do that to that poor deer Deer fancy pushing the baby over hahaha - they are all lovely xxxx
