Well done to those of you pursuing it - I might have another go at the squats one, I did find those easier to do on non running days.

Elf For Leather Dec 2015 5:26pm, 22 Dec 2015 2,207 posts	Quote Pin Elf For Leather Split squats have beaten me as well today so kick backs substituted again. Not sure how much more of the rest I will physically be able to do but I will just do something else in its place. Ok it's maybe not the original challenge but at least I am still doing something each day which is better than nothing
