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.
Snap!
Hello ladies I love your little dogs. Many years ago I used to have a black cockerpoo - he was a great little chap. I walk everyday but no longer with a dog. 
Here is my other boy.
Ah ! Happy dog ! On another occasion I owned a blue grey whippet . There was always a dog 
in my family life. Now however I have a ginger cat who keeps me company although not for walks . His favourite viewing space is sitting on the pergola in my little back garden. He is very fond of meditating.
Oh so sorry you have a cold .Take care moomy and I hope you are feeling better very soon.
Good Evening ladies,
Well you mentioning hydrated, its is funny, the day I walked and it seemed easier than expected was the first time I had filled a empty 2 litre plastic bottle with water and was drinking this throughtout the day, the day I found it tougher I hadn't drunk so much, so it does seem to make sense. Loving the photo of the river xxxx
Hello Lovely I hope you had a good journey with lots of nice views, did you spot a Haggis - they are normally found on hill and in bushes, well, so I'm lead to believe. Have a nice time, looking forward the beach photo's - brrrrr certainly will get the cobwebs blown away. Have a great time xxxx
Hello and again I hope you had a good journey and that you find your mum in good spirit, this time of the year can be a sad time, so plenty of giggles on order. Wishing you well for the appointment xxxx
Owww Violetsniff you made me chuckle, post of the week - this is so kind of you. I am liking your suggestion of the 'reward' this does sound good. I may just have to put this into action xxxx
I feel for you moomy, I've not long got over a cold, thankfully it had gone before Christmas. I darling mum has one now, I'm in her bad books as I'm trying to avoid catching it - which means I've avoided visiting this week - I am phoning constantly throughout the day and would be straight there if needed, but... still in the bad book arrghh. Wishing you a speedy recovery xxxx
Hello loving the woofers, bless them. I hope all went well at the dentist.
and now for my confession....... drum roll please.... I went out and walked, it took me a while to get myself together and pushed myself out, once out I had a really nice walk, I actually enjoyed it - I wonder if walking is something you can 'get into - that you want to actually go out and walk' - if so, I hope I can be part of this.
I really 'thought' I'd covered more steps than I actually had, however, I got out there.
The support here is brilliant - sending love to all xxxxx
