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.

I have done a 2 mile equivalent of a walk, stomping in the kitchen to Classicfm. It’s my ‘go to’ exercise when I can’t or don’t feel safe enough to go out, and at present as numbers are climbing even here, I don’t feel safe unless I have to! However tomorrow I have to walk to the dentist and back.....a 45 minute appointment for a filling replacement courtesy of part of the side of the tooth having broken.

A damp (but not raining) walk into town, firstly for the dentist (ok, phew!) and then a bit of shopping as it’s our monthly farmers market but I wanted to get some meat from the lovely butcher too.
got home well before any danger of rain, it’s cloudy but no rain - yet!
