Out of interest ladies, how are you all doing with recovering general fitness? We’ve just been away for a couple of days, and were walking (we’ve always loved walking, our Munro bagging days are behind us but we still like a good ramble in the hills). I didn’t do a proper walk all of last year, and this year have managed a few short walks but I’m limited to about 5/6km (so 3 and a bit miles), lung capacity is definitely sort of post-flu level and it’s so frustrating! I don’t want to do a 10 mile hike (yet!), I do appreciate it’ll take at least a year to get back to normal, especially after chemo and radiotherapy (that must have affected my lungs) , plus strictly speaking I’m still having treatment with the targeted therapy, but I feel so frustrated with myself, and also bad for spoiling my husband’s walk (although he says I’m not, I think he’s probably just glad I’m out there with him again!)
Saying that, this weekend I did do a bit of coastal path (lots of up and down, rough terrain) and then moorland walking the next day. But today I’m walking like a 90 year old as my calves have seized up
. And I really enjoyed it. I just wish I could do more ![]()
In other news I have just cut my nails super short and think I might have just got the last of the chemo nail off
.
I’m still wearing my wig to work, but otherwise am quite happy with my short mid-brown crop and a baseball cap. Hoping I might be able to get a bit more of a style when I see my hairdresser in June ![]()
Hugs to you all xx
