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.
Hi Leolady
What a coincidence I have been to Hatton Locks a few times since diagnosis. Nice fresh air, lovely cake and coffee in the cafe. I don't live too far from there.
Lovely photos.

I didn’t realise a lot of things
And there was me thinking you were in London with a tag like 'sortitout' I attributed a cockney accent to it. Teee hee
If only we knew we could have had a short gallop together. Though a very muddy one yesterday. Made me smile how many ladies were in clippy cloppy shoes. TOTALLY not suited. Made us all giggle watching them slip slide around the puddles
Bear at Berkswell was delicious massive full on Sunday lunch. Though our experience at Marco Pierre White's was bleeeep bleeeep rubbish. Calls itself a steakhouse ...... struggled to cook the chips. Ew that was a nice rant
Next time Ange.

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

Those locks look fab, wish I lived closer to them - I fancy a walk there! Brings back happy memories..... Reminds me of a fun weekend on a canal boat with two friends. I split my jeans when I fell on the tiller after we moored up beside a pub one evening haha.
Must do a canal boat weekend again - when I’m not so bleeping tired!!! Stupid bc.
Wishing everyone a peaceful evening, as free from bc worries as possible and all on the Awake thread a peaceful nights sleep.

I did Foxton Locks a few years ago - with only 2 on the boat!! Those ones look a lot tougher!!

Took a little detour through the park on my walk this morning, on the way to work. I love it in the morning when there's fewer people and there's a glimpse of all the wildlife waking up. Thought I'd share the signs of spring with you.
Have a good day, everyone!

Love to see blossom coming out Ronstar xxx
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
Loving all these lovely pics, managed my first long walk with the dog in weeks, haven’t had any energy, didn’t realise how tired I would feel, chemo has a lot to answer for.
Its a small world I live in Coventry didn’t realise how many of you live around this area, the locks are lovely.
hopefully will manage to take some pictures on my next walk.
love and hugs Jenny xxx
Stay Safe everyone, Love and hugs Jenny xxx
