    Wow. What a weekend!!!!

    Three days of swing dance workshops, three days of social dancing, three days of circus taster classes ( I learnt my lesson from the last circus camp I did and went for the less energetic skills - stilt walking, walking globe and juggling. The bruising from last times trapeze and hula hoop was just too much!!!)

    A day of rest now.

    Total miles walked/ran/danced - 73. Well over my target of 50

    Total hours spent dancing - at least 13!!!

    Bruises gained in the last week from activities - eight.

    Smile on my face? Permanent.

    It was a LONG ride. :grin: It also took me a while to type all that because my arms were a bit weak the day after the ride.

    And congrats on meeting your goal. :)

    so a go-slow day today - 40 mins broken up into chunks - probably none of which would have been made without this challenge!


    Usual 325 - under, swims skipped.
    Stretch - 1200 mins mainly walking
    30 mins a day min - 27 out of 30

    Now I need to check back on my goals and see if I match all your successes! Great work folks!!

    Ok - so my goals were 800 usual, 3-600 stretch - ie 1400 mins total and 30 mins minimum of 28 days (health/parents willing)

    And - despite a rocky month with my parents/health that has knocked the usual swimming off course ... I have passed both goals! Yay!!! And I even got the bike out...just for you ofcourse Steve.

    I've found my minimum daily activity a really helpful goal. (Even on rough CFS days done something..) So my April challenge will certainly contain this...not sure what else......nice thing to ponder on...

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement/ accountability.
