Time for a wrap up of the first four weeks on Maxine’s Challenge and what a month it has been. When I posted about my intentions for The Challenge, I had no idea what was ahead. Unexpectedly for the past four weeks, since the challenge started, I’ve been working full time. To put the icing on the cake, […]

Walk 7/150 Taradale
