Hello week 7

Thought I’d challenge myself and try the old railway line. Forgot it had a fair old gradient going west and a worse one going east ! But I managed 7 and a half mins westwards before realising I was mad and turning round, and I did complete 7:1, so that’s all right then. As long as I can still walk tomorrow 😁

You are flying BK! You are a marvel, when you think of the battle you had getting through week 1, and look at you now!!

It was worth taking all that time. I did get very frustrated, but building up everything very gradually is really paying off now. Couldn’t have done it without the support from all the lovely people on here though - including you, of course 😄

The support on here is fantastic .... but you did all the hard work. Not far to the finish line now!

Thanks Wimborne. I’m still stuck on the festive ones - knowing that “Twelve Days of Christmas” lasts more than five minutes makes it a great motivator 😄
