Quick call to my neighbour lol he came to get us now home on couch the bloody sun's back out lol happy Sundays love them...i will do it there and back one day soon xxxx

Way to go Angie, well done. I am so jealous that it wasn't me being able to report that distance.
I hope to be able to match that one day and more, at the moment I can just about sneak in an hour of exercise, unless I start to go walkies after 11:00pm which means cutting down on the zzzzzzzzzs, which I am not entertaining. At the moment there is not enough hours in a day for me.
Even being a b/h weekend I have work commitments, I have accounts to do tomorrow, being the end of the month, one of the many joys of running a business.
• in reply to2greys
Thanks 2greys but don't forget your working and running the business exercising and looking after things at home so works both ways . I'm not working just doing uni at the moment so pat on the back for you at everything you do and the exercise you get your doing amazing things xxxx

I've just been diagnosed with emphysema 3 weeks ago so it's all new to me and every little twinge leads to more questions! I'm in Yorkshire so nowhere exotic. Got my first real appointment with the Nurse next week. Oh yeah and it's moderate. How about you?

ericwood992• in reply to
I'm very lucky. I was 76 before I developed bronchiectasis. I have always had asthmatic symptoms, but never badly. I am now 81 going on 82 and go on my treadmill every day. This is a very good way of exercising in all weathers, by the way.
I really do feel for you.....
• in reply toericwood992
Treadmills are good I have one too exercise is the best form of therapy and it's lovely you enjoy it x
Feel for me Why ?? Xx

Stage 3 COPD at your tender age!
• in reply toericwood992
Ah got you lol it's my own doing that put me in this condition. I'm nearly 60 so not so tender in age and to be honest I'm as fit as a butcher's dog I'm regimented in exercise diet tai chi and no cigs so it's not a death sentence until him upstairs decides I'm very happy live my life to the full but thank you for words and kindness means a lot xxxx
ericwood992• in reply to
Very relieved to hear that and I admire your dedication to exercise. It is all too easy to sit and relax with advancing years.... I know this!!
xx
• in reply toericwood992
I understand where you were coming from and there's nothing wrong in sitting and relaxing ever . I do take time for me it's positive attitude for me is a must and iv just started my counselling degree after stopping work so onwards and upwards been lovely talking with you enjoy your day xx
ericwood992• in reply to
Congratulations, and thank you Angie. I hope you have a nice day also. (It's very overcast here in Cornwall. Treadmill today!).

• in reply toericwood992
Ah you are in Cornwall live it down there I'm in new forest area close to beaulieu xx
Well done Angie, no chance of me catching you up. It is not so much the COPD but the arthritis that gets me. I'm sure you will make the return journey one day weather permitting. Goods of your neighbour to come and pick you up. x

Angie xxx
Angie. How. ? I mean I have heard. Of people doing half marathons. I must. Being a. Bad way I push myself. All the time but. Walking for me is just terriable . Some times I can only just. Stand without 02. Only for. A couple of mins. But. I do what I can. And I do . Struggle. But I really. Wish I could do more. Well. Never say never. U. Have a good. Day. Bye. Paul
Hi Anglecbr
wow 10 miles, that is so good, may i ask if you walk that without resting inbetween the walk.
I am age 60 has well and can do 5 miles at a push but do have to rest the next day and i did have a hip operation 7 months ago.
well done keep it up
Music
• in reply tomusic
Hi music
I don't stop I pace myself and do controlled breathing on the hills but on the flat I'm fine. I'm 59 and not had hip op so your doing remarkably for 7 months post op. I walk every day not always for 10 miles lol but we do average 10 kms a day . The 10 mile was a goal of mine to walk to the beach and back but only walked there due to the rain lol so had I completed it wd have been 20 miles but in saying that there is a bus route that if I get too tired we can jump on a bus but I'm determined to do it lol i wish you well xxxx
Lucky you. Sea air is good for you. I'm stuck in the Midlands so getting jealous 😎
• in reply toBudgie1954
It is good for you one of my favourite places. Lol never been to the Midlands passed through it but never stopped x

• in reply toMooskie
It's lovely isn't it and thankyou I like your name mooskie xx
Thanks Graham
Keep it up your doing great
Angie x
OMG - that is AWESOME ... and I am in awe! And here I thought I was doing good moving up from 3 miles to 4 miles most mornings. I've got a long way to go to catch up with ya 
I am still kayaking 8-12 miles twice a week and doing some cycling when humidity isn't screaming, but I do believe walking is a tad bit better as a COPD exercise. You've charged my walking spirit up - thanks!
• in reply todolphingal
Thankyou dolphin seems your doing great as well. Kayaking never done that before something to consider doing .
I'm not great on a bike lol never have been best of luck to you take care
