The Escape Plan: Week two complete!

That’s me just completed week 2 of “The Escape Plan” Strava Challenge, still got another 2 weeks to go!

To complete the whole challenge, I’ve got to commit to being active 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Which is easy to do, walk Cooper every day or go a cycle, done job! But each activity, needs to be at least 15 minutes to qualify!
