Reached 400k for the official 5x50 :D

Today I did 4k walking, 6k running, one hours tennis and a half hour DVD for upper body and abs in order to get there, and, of course, to help with the team effort to reach our target! We're so close!

I can't move now, all my muscles ache. every single one.

I may well have a glass of champagne to salute the team later on!

Well done everyone, I can't believe how much we've achieved, it has been eye-opening and a huge surprise. We are very gutsy!!

I hope that you all celebrate tonight, and have a well-deserved rest tomorrow. (I will do a gentle 30 minute swim for day 92)

Hopefully some of you may still have some strength left to join me in my final week!? I'll blog on Tuesday to see!

Well done again everyone!

That was a mammoth effort!

I'll keep going I think - now I know what I can do, it seems a pity not to! Though maybe I'll ache a bit tomorrow. :)

Well done TJ. Some effort!

Check Malcy's "We've Done It" blog and nominate an actress (or tennis player) to portray you in the film they'll make of this ;-)

You really are superwoman...I'm worn out looking at what you did today :)

I'm going to continue for the next 8 days and try and get a better time for my 5km...37mins at the moment. Good luck with your swim tomorrow, I'm going for a long walk in the rain :( But then a nice hot bath as there is no work it's a bank holiday over here :-D

Gayle, it's great that we got a team together, but I was inspired by those who did it last year! Let's hope that next year we have a team of over 100!

I have been following this and am amazed at what you and all the others have achieved. You have all inspired me to join the next one. Now that I have got my fitness level to an acceptable point I feel that I could do it. Not sure I could fit in all that you did today though.

Hope the final few days are good.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing you next time on the 5x50 challenge ;) If you're inspired you're half way there! Thank you I'm sure I'll enjoy the final few days, and then there'll be an emptiness!

A very well-rounded range of exercises for you today. Tomorrow, I think I'll do one long yoga session ahead of my Swiss Ball class.

Not what you're looking for?
