W5R3

I can't believe I actually managed to complete W5R3 1st time.

What makes it so special is that I have recovered from M.E. (I had for 15 years!) And have hemiplegia (Cerebral Palsy down my right side).

I actually found it much easier than I expected! Tell yourself you can do it and break it down into 5 minute intervals...it really helps.

If I can do it, so can you!
