When I read Michelle's warm-up challenge for week 3 'Set yourself an exercise goal' I thought to myself  "No problem, I can do this. After all, any exercise that I do is more than I have been doing." Then I read on and was flabbergasted to see the challenge was to exercise for 30km. Is she crazy? 30 KILOMETERS!

After I caught my breath I had a think and took a long hard look at myself. I know I can do this, it will be difficult, but nothing worthwhile is easy. So I took the first step and dusted the cobwebs off my bike. My son and I cycled for 6km on the gravel tracks near home. Tomorrow I will do it again, only go a little further and pedal a little harder.

I'm off the couch and moving - for me, this is a great start.
