Bob A Tried it this morning during my morning Yoga routine. Could only touch my knees for about 5-10secs. Will start counting when I can do 60 secs straight :-). (2 yrs ago I couldn't anywhere near the ground with my hands, straight legged).

I feel the same way! I have a harder time sticking to long challenges because I forget about them lol

Exactly! I've been sticking to some challenges out of habit but remembering is hard sometimes :p
