    Gary6030 did really well on his Hell Run over the weekend.
    Gary is the person who started the Tribal Challenges. He truly is an inspiration and motivator.
    This is what he had to say:

    640 416/684 268 Gary Butler 41 44:08 13:35 I placed 640 our of 1402 people.
    I placed in the top 30% for my age group of 40 - 50 year old men.
    I've never been more proud of myself in all my life. For once in my life I was passing people
    instead of people passing me. It was harder than I expected in some ways and easier in most.
    I never got out of breath....I was able to run the entire race and conquer every challenge!
    I almost fell off the top of the 30 foot wall but the Lord caught me. I don't know how else to explain that...
    I really thought I was a goner. More fun than I imagined and I'm so very very excited about the June 2nd
    Warrior Dash in Logan Ohio in 2012. I hope you will all join me there for my team! My PC crashed and
    I was off on Friday so I did kind of disappear from MFP but not intentional!
    Thank you everyone for your words of inspiration, kindness and motivation! I love you folks very much!
    RAISE YOUR SPEARS WE"VE GONE TRIBAL!
    And now to edit my profile to say GOAL MET AND SURPASSED! WOO HOO I DID IT!

  • I've been trying to continue limping along, however, it's not working for me. I just can't make it my #1 priority between school and work like I thought I could. I'm sorry if I've let you down, I'm going to keep trying to tag along with you guys, but I failed to be an asset to the team....I'm really, really sorry. :(

    It's ok. Many teams are taking their lumps, between sickness & injury.
    Life happens.
    You've got to do what is best for you right now--rest up & heal up.
    Join back in if/when you can.

    Got my monday & tuesday challenges, water & calories done.
    Weigh in was bad this week--gained but part of it was due to being
    way over on sodium saturday.

    think you hit a plateau?
    try shaking up your metabolism... zig zag your calories.
    there's a post on how to do it.
    other people say you can add 100-200 calories to your goal for a week
    then drop back down to your normal goal and see what that does.

    Howdy team! I'm working hard this week (to make up for some over days last week). Good on all challenges, calories, and water so far. Water is pretty hard for me, but I'm keeping at it!

    I'm hoping to hang in there over the weekend, as I have a work trip all day tomorrow. Traveling is always tough on calories for me.

    Keep me in your thoughts on Saturday morning, as I signed up for a 5K in a moment of insanity! I've only every done one before and that was a few years ago (and I was quite a bit lighter). BUT...you have to start somewhere, right?!?!

    Take care all!

    Sorry guys, not doing my walk today.
    I feel so out of breath.
    this weather is really messing with the asthma.
    did everything else though.
    up on my water & will probably be under calories.
