    Erica--I did not have the opportunity to weigh in over the weekend due to the flooding we are having to deal with here in my community. Sorry. I will have numbers for you by the end of the week.

    I did not complete the extra mile team challenge for last week. Sorry....a lot going on here.

    Hey Erica,
    there is a weekly challenge listed as week 2 under the pygmy exercises, then there is a different one listed as week 3 under the bushmen exercises.

    Do we try for both? Or do we choose one or the other?

    I never got a reply as to if we are supposed to do the crunches or the 5mile. I am planning a 4 mile on Sunday, but if the 5 is the challenge, I will add in an extra one!

    I can do the crunches still if they can be added together, I just get confused reading the instructions
