    Team, I set up 13 new challenges for myself over the next two weeks.  A few pretty simple daily stuff that I should do anyway, like spend time outside.  Most though are bigger and things that I might not otherwise fit into my days/weeks.  I'm excited to see how many I can integrate into my lifestyle and maintain over the entire challenge.
