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.

And I’m home again from collecting hubs’ meds and the dentist. It was just a check up but with a new dentist as my other lovely gentle lady has retired (very young!) but I need not have worried as this one is very nice, chatted to get to know me a bit first then checked, all ok, appointment 6 months!
That was a good walk, I kept the speed up and it was 9,900 ish steps done. (Thanks, Apple Watch, glad to make you happy, haha!)

Well done Julie for your swim, I bet you slept well!
We are now on a lovely campsite neater home, in Kent. I walked to the village today half an hour there all downhill. Had tea and a cookie then set myself a challenge to get back up the hill in the same time. Just about did it and when I got back it was still warm and sunny enough to flop on my sun chair for a bit.
Have a nice evening all of you
