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!

- As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm officially middle aged now as today I did my first garden tour. And loved it! What a nice way to spend the day, wandering round personal labours of love of great beauty, tranquility and peace.
This was my favourite rhododendron:
I even came across a Teddy Bears' Picnic! - @"Kiwi Angel" Well done! B)
- Just finished my first 5 km run since finishing chemo. Feeling pretty chuffed with myself :)
