    Thank you for fighting for that finish Kate.

    Props to everyone who participated in the challenge this morning. Go Jeff and Jeremy! Shari, we told you that you could do 7–you just needed some competitive encouragement (well that, and Kelly’s coaching of course!)

  5. Shari says:

    I have to say, thinking about doing 7 was harder than actually doing them. Not that it was easy – pure hell in fact. But, I could have done without all the consternation, self-defeatism and butterflies.
