BCNA Walking Challenge

I’ve created my own walking track up, down and around my street - never too far from home if it threatens to rain, so no excuses! I’m getting friendly with my fellow walkers and their dogs, know my neighbours better and the little boy in the corner house now waves from the window. All good. 

I’m always afraid if I walk too far - I’ll have to Uber home 🤣🤣I  like an oval or route that I can get home if fatigued 💗💗💗

Oh dear .... mind over mattress .... I tend to snuggle back under the doona!   :(   I seriously need to get more active - I've whacked on 5kg+ in the last 6 months ...... but I just don't like walking!   :(  Been having some foot issues recently too that I hope will settle soon.

@BlackWidow 5km takes me about 50mins, give or take.  

Welcome @OmaRose - your first post and such a positive one !
Welcome to this club none of us ever thought we'd want to join.
I like the "we are looking for little improvements" as that makes it seem worthwhile rather than hoping for huge things and failing.  Good that you have found a great physiologist to work with.

Hi, I am one chemo session in and have walked each day for 40 mins.  Has felt better to walk even if hard to start it.  I am just going to keep doing what feels right. I have arthritis too and sometimes my feet hurt but after a few mins it's ok. I have always been a walker so it is something part of my life. Sometimes I love to walk with others but I love walking on my own too.....like a walking meditation. 

I have recently started exercising with an Exercise physiologist. Her focus is rehab and her cheery nature has made initial zoom meetings and one on one gym sessions a real pleasure. My walk days are more enjoyable as I am feeling stronger already from the gym. As she says, we are looking for little improvements. I think we can crank up this group again. It seems that is is defunct, but since it is still here on line, let's resuscitate it😊. My suggestion is to wear two bras when exercising. P. S. This is my first post

Each to their own but 5am is a bit early for me - it’s dark! It would have to be a virtual walking group anyway, as we are in different locations. I agree though that walking is a fine opportunity for communing with yourself, in between listening to music - Mahler is good for walking and talking to yourself......

5km at 5 am on my own then 3km with the hound. At least 6 days a week.
A walking group wouldn't work for me as there is no way I want to talk to, or at, anything or anyone at my prefered time. Thus the two walks; I want to put my mind into neutral and put one foot in front of the other, which is my first outing. Then we do dog.  That bloody mutt is an inexhaustible font of pee. Before you pee, you must sniff. Stop Start stop Start. Gargh.

I love walking too!
