So for the BUSHMEN series you had to run/walk/jog ONE 5K this week plus do the calorie/water thing. If you did the 5K and kept under cal and drank all the water you get 6/6 for the weekly challenge.

For each day that you ran an additional 5K you get a bonus point.

So, they way you have it stated I'd be giving you 6/6 for the weekly challenge and then an additional 5 bonus points. {BTW-great work running SIX 5Ks this week--that's amazing!!!!}

For the PYGMY challenge, you get a bonus point for each day you did ONE mile above what was required that day.

Does that make more sense?? So for check-in I need to know the # of days you did a 5k (Bushmen) or mile (pygmy) above what was required.

I'll work on making these more clear!



Oh ok...that does make sense. Then yes 5 for the bonus 6 for the daily. I put in 34k this past week. Thanks for clearing that up!

Mon 09/12/11 11:17 AMI noticed Gary put up a status post saying that the organization side of things is getting out of hand. This sort of stuff I'm pretty good at but I'd like to know how things are being done currently. Is it really just a spreadsheet with groups split up by person logging their weight information?

DONE - Day 1 - 10 Globe Jumps, 10 Burpees, 25 Toe Touches, 25 Squat Kicks, 2 mile walk (WAtP video)


Oh dear lord, those high-low planks are KILLER! I thought I hated burpees, but I think those are my new most hated exercise. My arms are shaking now. I also did my workout for my other challenges this morning. I think I need to go collapse now.

Good luck this week everyone! We can do this. We are strong!
