Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
I’ve not been out yet so don’t know what it’s like underfoot. Will have walking boots on but if icy I’ll walk in the snow. Need to go out soon if only to put fresh bird food out and make sure there’s water.

Hello. It was -3 here in Derbyshire this am. Bundled up and walked to sainsbury its about 20 mins at my speed! Warmed up to 0 but trying hard to snow. We are due snow by 6pm. Could be working at home tom as I hate driving in snow x
Still a hard frost here away from the sun….
And I think the lakes are starting to freeze

Did you get snow Tired Minion Seems you’re getting a colder blast too moomy I’ve yet to venture out today. Only went to supermarket yesterday. Didn’t even do Wiifit as planned … oops. Will do better today. I’ve restarted hip physio exercises as my troublesome one has been very achy and affects my whole leg. Cold weather isn’t helping.

Morning. A light sprinking of snow but was -5 this am with a reel feel of -9. I have a bad hip so took decision to work at home today and not risk it! Don't need to slip and trip today!
We have had more snow at minus 7.4 this morning. Will definitely be getting taxi for treatment.
