On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow staggers through chemo, or those walks we take after active treatment has finished and we're trying to get our strength and fitness back.
In Melbourne today the weather was sunny, still and mild; perfect for a walk. I have followed my GP to a small town in the Yarra Valley (a good GP is worth the 30 minute drive I reckon), and right outside her surgery is the start of a beautifully laid out walking track. It's 7kms long and I've been keen to explore it. So today I walked halfway along it and back. At over 7kms it was the longest walk I've done since the day before chemo!

- I’m in awe of anyone who can do 5km! after 6 weeks of treatment I found my pedometer and walked nearly 6,000 steps in my whole day I’m stuffed to put it bluntly. But I figure I have to start somewhere
- Yes, where is that @tigerbeth? It looks lovely. Hey when are we going to meet for a walk?! I've got two weeks to go before the school holidays make me comprehensively unavailable...
@Harvey1903 That looks divine! Almost tropical! Don't worry about the distance, you'll get there. I'm back up to 5kms comfortably, and working on 6kms. K xox - My run this morning was through countryside like this...my first run since May and a major achievement!
- That's great @tigerbeth!! <3
- All those photos are amazing, gotta love this country of ours. B)
- @JJ70, looks so beautiful and peaceful.
- @tigerbeth, @Harvey1903. Both look lovely! Beach and bush - love both. You'll get there @Harvey1903. One day at a time.
- Gorgeous @Harvey1903
This is surburbia! Ferntree Gully along the bike track !
Back home now , in my garden trying to tidy up - Where's that? @tigerbeth. This was my walk this morning. Can go left and walk around shops, not many or right for a 4 K round trip along the waters edge. Working up to that. Used to do everyday. Harvey loves it, so gives me motivation. Paynesville Victoria.
- Today's walk inspired by @JJ70 :) B)
