Andrew Ladd 10/28/2020 11:47 AMTeam, 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.
