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.
If you have an iPhone you already have one on there

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
Thankyou ...yes,have it...
just a little adendum...after reading that you had been doing exercise indoors,I suddenly had a brainiac moment!!I hied me to my Ipad and am putting on songs “To Dance To” for my indoor exercise.Done “Love Shack” so far...then onto Motown now xxxooo!!!xxhip holding out at mo.
(...just a suggestion...next time to go to visit the Nurses Station,why dont you sashay up there(as well as you can) to,”Get Ready Cos Here I Come”???)
I found us some blossom. Look the spring will come! (Literally, which is good news; also for those who like a visual metaphor, be my guest.)
Personally, I use an app on my Samsung phone to measure my distance so even though I didnt have a walk today I can be pleased that I walked 6k when all I did was walk up and down the side of a sports pitch while my son played (it was too cold to stand still!).
thinking of you and sending my best.
Wow - this is so lovely, you will have a great time, I'm sure of this.
Hi , loving the photo of the cherry blossom - wowwwww, a nice sign that spring is on its way and for us to keep walking....
says me that only went out the front of the house today, I'm blaming the weather, I will get back on this, I will - after all it hardly takes any time, so I must, I must
Leolady56 how lovely to be baking your daughters birthday cake, you should post us some photos, you might not be a British Bake Off Champion, but to us, you are our BC Champion
