W5R3 done

Well that was good getting that over! The 20 minutes was a huge barrier yesterday, but we plodded on to do 2.5 km in the 20 minutes, Google said it would take 26 minutes to walk it!! At 72 it was a first, was never a sporty sort at school, so a first is good to do, anyone worried about W5R3, don't its not that bad.

It was a high 5 job, very pleased with ourselves.

It took me a couple of days to get over the high - mind you I think the wine may have helped....😉. W6R1 brought me back to earth with a bump! Well done to both of you - here's to W6!
