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:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

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.

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

No perkiness for me sadly on either side!

'These boobs are made for walking'?? Maybe not, ouch....

The forge and a house opposite

Brisk and bright here

Pretty sure an artist lives in the house

Haha! The march of the wonky boob!! Love it!! In Brighton they have the “March of the Mermaids”...

I wondered if I could meet up when i go on one of my Coach day trips as I am a bit unconfident travelling on my own since ca. Grrrrrr I used to skip around England and abroard !!

my Brighton trip is in March...5th...but thats s looooooong way so will understand if you won’t want that ?

or...or different places around the country...same day??who knows...

i want to meet all you ladies and put faces to names!! Xx

i customised a £10 cardi so that I can listen to my music when in hall dancing

you have had a great walk LL....I have been to gym doing “arm.marching” on the bike,(listening to Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet music,and pretending to be a Russian Soldier...nobody knows what goes on in my brain!)x

(bike has a back to lean on)

Oh hmmmm, is the thread a year old today???? If so then happy birthday thread!

I’m in north Bucks, but busy Saturdays, would love to meet some of you crazy fruit loops though! Maybe we should wait till the days are longer and the weather rather better for a group route march though?!?!?

not a lot of walking for me today unless round a supermarket counts? It’s so grey and cold! But yoga this evening does count as exercise (honest, the Apple Watch tells me so!)

Yoga is definitely on the list of good things to do.

And supermarket sweep as well

Definitely need some good March or April weather for a walk. Lunch or coffee and cake also a must

Managed 5km around 6,000 steps on my walk and ............ bumped into (not literally) a lovely young lady out walking a neighbour's dog. We chatted then she announce "Mrs P do you remember me as you taught me and my brother. "

Oh flip I did and they were a lovely family.

Not been on this walk since probably this time last year and I was amazed at the changes. I drive it occasionally but walking opens your eyes to so much more.

Now in recovery. But best part was getting home to find Mr Leo had got stuck into the ironing. He gets a big smiley face today

Hope those with snow are Ok. Hubby and I have loads planned for the next 5 days eeeekkkkk, snow go quickly please.
