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.
Hi everyone
having a lovely time in Cardiff with our younger son , walked for miles during the day , pjs on about 6.30 every night . So happy I’ve managed the 9hr train journey with two changes and having to stand for half an hour ( even though booked seats ) Arriva trains Wales should be ashamed of their trains - so dirty , and cancelled bookings . But we got here ! Go home tomorrow and get the holiday brochures out for November !
meeting my welsh niece and family tonight , haven’t met her for 30 years !
Excited

I did 6 miles yesterday from the campsite, downloaded a guided walk & map on to my phone. I was fine once I got started but it took me half an hour to find the right place to start anyways it was lovely and nice to have some quiet time.
Mommy I love Sloe Gin, you will have a good amount this year.
Leolady I hope you feel better soon. Lots of cold bugs going around, not very nice.
Hi hope you feel better very soon!

Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
...hope you’re out of that sick bed soon. I’ve got fingers crossed the bugs stay away this season...had flu jab the other day so hoping I only come into contact with the ones it covers
