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 everyone in the walking club

    I have been getting out most days after work especially when the sun shines, the sunshine is a real boost to get out and walk, which lifts the spirits, I even found myself just sitting on the clifftop enjoying the view not thinking of anything and not time watching which I find I'm quite obsessed with, this journey has taught me alot about myself and made me realise what is important and that is I am important and its good to take time for yourself and take time out to breath the fresh air and enjoy life, 

    I took these pis on Thursday when the sun was shining, its not me paragliding as Im scared of heights :)

    Encouragement and hugs to everyone whose getting out walking

  • That's such a lovely post - and those pics wow!! I have always fancied paragliding - new goal!

    Well I came on to log my run but it seems a bit mundane now - lol :)

    I'm going to do it anyway - did 15 minutes with a 30 second sprint at the end. Very very happy with that! No pics, was off in my own little world and forgot!

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

  • Walked up and down Robin Hood's Bay today, following the ebbing tide. So lovely to be by the sea; have missed it so much during recent illness. Completely shattered after walking up the hill back to the carpark, definitely don't do hills!

    Rest this afternoon, both of us, then off to the Thai restaurant.

    Home tomorrow. Xxxxx

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
