Last week the Library Stampers, reached half way in the GCC walking challenge, 50 days of recording our steps and challenging ourselves to do that little bit better. We have ‘walked’ from Tokyo, through South East Asia, Australia and the western coast of the US and are now in the lap of luxury that is the Hamptons. As a team we have done 4,780,072 steps, the equivalent of 1901 miles.

The stage 2 mini challenge was to see if the team could register more than 100,000 steps in a day and we managed a magnificent 147,352. More importantly our daily average has risen from 12,042 in the first week to 13,411 at half way point.
Team members can be seen arriving early at work to fit a walk in, nipping out at lunchtime to walk round the hospital, and even jogging round the park having undertaken the NHS Couch to 5k during the challenge. Sadly one team member has had to be substituted due to injury so we welcome her replacement who has already discovered how many steps you clock up in a 2 year old’s dance class!

It’s best foot forward for the next 50 days to see if we can keep improving
