Need to learn how to count to 500.... can only manage sets of 100


Half a steak (leftover from dinner, 4cm x 3cm) and half an apple for breakfast just didn't do it for me this morning. So added a cup of black coffee in addition to usual huge glass of water. Already hungry and thinking about lunch 10 minutes later.

500 skips went well. Hardest part was the counting. Had to use a marker to remind me where I was. Really enjoyed it and took Karim’s advice to alternate legs. I now do two skips with one leg leading then a funky little hop mid-air to change to two steps with the alternate leg. I managed to keep going a lot longer than normal without fumbling, but towards the 470 mark became quite tired and fumbled quite a bit those last 30. Great feeling to have finished. Did my session in a public car park!! Will be interesting to see where I can do my skipping over the next 83 days…..
