This week the 3R's edged ahead of the other teams in exercise with over 40 total hours of exercise for the ten people who reported. Right now, the 3 R's are leading in the total number of spiritual goals completed with nine of them accomplishing their goals this week. The 3 R's are also leading in the weight loss category.
