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.

Yes, definitely keep walking!! It is amazing how slight rises in gradient are so much more noticeable now I am a bit older!
Daughter (who’s seventh re-Birthday it is today - 7 years since she received her new blood stem cells from her donor) is bringing sons dog to stay with us Sunday through to Friday so I will be doing a daily walk with him!
Ive been on my feet such a lot the last few days but no walks, sadly!

Hi everyone
Thursday was my friends birthday and we went to a nearby animal rescue centre, it was great. You could go in most of the enclosures all the animals were very happy and friendly so I had lots of time stroking goats, sheep and cows.
Birthday lunch in their vegan cafe.
The whole day was good fun and a tonic!
Grim old day here
Managed a quick trip to the local town to collect meds and saw ....................

Hi seaspirit44....go easy on yourself. Hope your tiredness has abated somewhat. I was out for an early walk... just around village and picked up a paper. I did intend to go for another walk this evening but got stuck in front of tv but did do a bit of hooping. Ive had too many lazy days, too many late nights and eating a bit of rubbish recently so hitting the pit early, no iPad after 10pm, should be earlier really. Tomorrow is another day...start again and be better
