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.

  • Sounds great

    Still managing my one mile ‘stomp’ most days in spite of the back pain.

  • Beautiful photos from the flower show . Had lovely weekend away with a friend in Harwich, never been there before, loved the coastline and did a foot ferry trip over to Felixstowe. Always love a boat! Weather was kind, lots of walking and sitting on the beach. Love to all, HFxx

  • Took these pics from car on way home from Cumbria on Monday . It's at Raby Castle where there are several large herds of deer . Unfortunately most of this herd lying down 

    if you zoom in you can spot the white ones 

    One step at a time and ...Breathe !

  • Lovely pics of deer and the ferry trip!

    I went to begin “Slimmers World”last night…wasn’t expecting to be weighed and booked in!!Well,I suppose that means I have to take it seriously ….

    here are some photos of the sunset on way home.It was held between 5.30 and 6.30 which I think is a very civilised time to hold anything.Xxx it was very sunny early evening and we got there early so I went for a little walk xx

  • Hi all. I'm still walking etc. Did quite a few steps during a trip up to the Northeast this week.Hope everyone is doing ok.
