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.
Your photos always cheer me up ...
just to warn peeps it costs £5 each to book at a Cat cafe...( I am just using up a booking i made for my friend which she couldnt get to.)..i drew Tibbles from a photo this morning but its not great next time i will use a softer pancil... also walked by river and got some gorge swan piccies!!
but was kicking myself as I just missed their flight...got the tail of the last one!!!(photography is all in the timing!) 
Love the cat drawing, Violetsniff! And that's amazing progress, , as well as the perfect walk - via a cafe!
Went exploring today when I finally galvanised myself to go for a walk - headed for my steady uphill path workout, then through woods to local heath - from there, strode off into the unknown, found other heaths and back via familiar common. Lovely walk in the end but what a contrast to Monday - no blue sky in sight, though thankfully no rain. A heron flew by very close, so beautiful, I love their long legs trailing behind; then on the heath Fantastic Mr Fox turned up! Wouldn't let me get at all close but a handsome sight all the same.
I didnt sit on that bench....
Happy weekend walking everybody! xx
Sorry so long in replying to your post Violetsniff - I feel like I am in a good place at the moment, however, the big set back is.... everything, everything seems to be taking me forever. When I type my head is saying all the words, my hands then decide to type different words (like talking instead of taking!!, have to go back and correct arrghh). Hence my posts on here are getting slower and slower argh.
You got it right with my user name, when I first joined I could not think of a name, I sat and thought and thought, nothing would come to mind, all that kept going around in my heads was relating to BC - I kept saying What's Happened, What Happened and so this was my name, I always intended to change it - yet I still can't think of a good name, (apart from Ramble, as I do ramble on and on, on these posts, sending everyone to sleep :) )
HappyFeet1, you are so right with how I was, now get this, there is a gulley/walkway along my route (get me, I have a route too! I do change this daily though), the gulley is 'really' steep, so most days I make a point of walking down the gulley and back up again, I even try to throw in the occasional 'jog' .... all of 4 or 5 steps! But it is far further forward than I was. I am still fearful when I am out, I avoid the time the children come out of school as best as I can and to be honest, the way I dress I think they would rather stay clear of the 'bag lady' hahaha - I'm not that bad (am I haha).
My Fitbit is set at 4000 steps now, i have up'd it from 2,500 - today though, I have actually done.... drum roll.... 9,846, I am going to get it to 10,000 before midnight - so I best get going (only walking around the house).
Wishing you all a lovely weekend - extra special hugs to Leolady56 - I hope you are okay, always here for you if you need an ear.
Love and Hugs xxxxx
Just adding my photo, forgot, oww this memory arrghh....
Afternoon all - I am the sole dog walker today and they are horrid if they arent stretched so two 45min walks for me. I have been admiring the blossom and worrying that it will all blow away on Sunday night in the 60 mph winds we have coming. This sure is a strange end of winter.
In other news I have been a little bit obsessed with making risotto - how could it have been easy all this time and I not know - and my 13 year old boy has cleaned the bathroom for me today - I'm a proud mum.
