Global Corporate Challenge week 1

And they're off...

The Global Corporate Challenge finally started last week and the Library Stampers donned their pedometers and started stamping. 

Our pre-walk estimates of how many steps we did each day proved to be way too low (or were we all scuttling here and there, worried about letting the team down?).

At the end of the first week we’ve averaged 12,042 steps each a day, covering 262 miles. Our virtual journey has taken us from Tokyo to Yokohama and Mount Fuji, on the Bullet train to Kyoto and Osaka and finally by plane to Seoul.

There are a few aching joints and possibly too much time is being spent on checking our position on the leaderboard but it’s certainly making us think about how active we are. Gardening, looking after grandchildren and of course shelving books are all providing us with more exercise than we realised.
