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.
Lovely walks Flossie25 . Yes would love to meet up in London sometime, haven’t seen Sabrina22 here for a while. This thread has gone quiet! I had to scroll down several pages to find it. Anyway here is an autumn photo, finally some sunshine after some grey, wet days. Love to all, HFxx

I am well, just came out of this for a while. It's almost 2 yrs since my diagnosis. The COVID jab made the lymph node that had cancer in it more painful. I am checking more as a result. I feel I need to live as well as I can, this is as good as it gets. I danced and paraded in Pride in August, it was so hard but amazing as well. 
Pleased to hear your son’s meds are helping Sabrina22 … and you’re still dancing. Hope things settle down re Covid jab but things do trigger more vigilance in self checking. 2years … you’re moving forward. It’s 61/2 yrs for me. Lovely photo of you x

I think this is a lovely thread. It reminds us to make the very best of our lives, doesn't it? I felt raring to go today so I've been very active, starting with a trip in to our local Lewis's, on the quest of a warm winter cardigan. First, I hiked uphill to the bus stop, which fortunately I had loads of energy for - I was driven, as I really wanted said cardigan! I traipsed round and round Lewis's, popping out to other shops and then back into L's, until I found what I wanted. Fortunately, it ticked all the boxes! Got the bus back and then had another long-ish walk after I got off the bus. Hubby helped with getting lunch, as by this time I was exhausted. After lunch, being a musician, I did my usual practice session, but because of all that running around this morning, I could only manage about 40 mins before my legs started to ache a bit (thank you, Letrozole ). So I stopped practising, got tea and finally settled on here, tired but fulfilled! While I think about it, nothing takes me out of my "situation" quite like playing music does for me.
I’m glad you’ve posted this again, I’m trying to get out and at least walk as much as I’m able. This morning I managed a mile (that’s my normal daily distance, I’m trying to improve on that if I can.

it’s been very dull here most of the time
