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 hope you get an appt soon Tired Minion and get rid of chest infection. I have aims too. Xx

Well done for keeping this thread going Flossie25 ! Happy new year to all and hope to post some pics later as it’s a gorgeous day today after lots of wind, rain and generally dreary weather. Blue skies today. Cold but lovely, perfect walking weather for me. Here’s a photo from the bottom of the garden for now…. Love to all, HFxx
It’s definitely chilly outside but sunny. A bit slippery underfoot in places. Walk done, couple of turns round a park.

Love Snoopy Flossie25 ! Cold day here with sadly no blue skies but had lovely walk with daughter, son and his girlfriend. Plus the dog. Went to local country park, visited the 500 year old oak there. Lovely views over the countryside. Forgot my phone so couldn’t take photos but screenshot these from the park’s website! Love to all, HFxx
Lovely pics. I’ve had a bit of a lazy day. Late brekkie, out to shops ( supermarket cleared as person needed resuscitation in middle of store), back home and over to neighbour for an hour ( leaving hubby to clear blocked down pipe drain). No walk. Snoopy …

Only a short dog walk for me today. But a trip to next town clocked up a few steps to get to John Lewis! But the obligatory coffee and scone probably cancelled those steps out. Too bad! This coming week I will get back to Nordic walking and my Friday exercise class so a bit more movement! xxx
