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 just did a 6.5km walk in the You Yangs before chemo this afternoon. Didn't sound like much beforehand but I barely made it back. I just don't seem to have the energy at the moment. Oh well, only one more Paclitaxel after today then I will attempt to build that energy back up.
- OMG...I have been eating excessively and exercise has gone out the window!! I have injured myself overdoing it - nothing too bad just overworked achilles and glutes, so that I am hobbling a bit. Plus too many meals out - dinners and lunches with friends + wine. Now off to Pink Ribbon Breakfast put on by BreastScreen WA. Must walk some of it off this arvo!!
- @Sarnicad how cool. It was a good day to see that one as it was very blustery!
- @"Kiwi Angel" that’s it! Done by a girl( young woman now) that played hockey in the same club as me years ago. Talented thing with lots of creative ideas
- Possibly - there are a couple of things it could be @Sarnicad
- @"Kiwi Angel" did you see the recycled tents installation?
- @arpie it is. It’s on every year on the Tamarama to Bondi coastal walk.
- OMG! Is that in Sydney @"Kiwi Angel" ?
Not quite sure WHERE to look, with the fatties!! ;) - Sculpture by the Sea this morning.
- @Romla That's so perfectly framed it's like a painting!
