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.
WhatHappened That is a lovely story. Walking with good deed included.
Violetsniff I hope brother is ok. I love the image of being in the cafe with a blanket.
Today I needed a 'rest day' as I've overdone it a bit this week and one of my feet aches - I think I might need to get some supportive insoles for my boots.
I've been crocheting in front of the telly as a way to rest. The only downside is that drinking this much tea means I keep having to climb the stairs for the loo. 
Violetsniff that cafe sounds lovely, and it's these small kind touches that mean so much. Renews your faith in human nature! Sorry about your brother, hope all is well, difficult situation re who should tell others. Families can be tricky.....
Great crochet work ! I haven't gone far today compared to the rest of the week, weather is squally and grim. I did manage a major accomplishment though - walked the dog myself for the first time in ages. She's generally good on the lead but may lunge in response to sighting small furries (cats, squirrels, rabbits) so I worry about her pulling the 'bad' arm. Braved it today just for short walk in between the showers, and she was good as gold. Just round little local park, but it's a start!
hope tomorrow is brighter....
