So… 7 library staff; 100 days; 3,532 miles;
8,880,969 steps; Tokyo to Andorra.
It’s the end of a 100 day journey for the Library
Stampers who, with people from all round the world, have counted their steps,
swimming and cycling and attempted to improve their activity. As an office
based team we feel we have done well to keep our step average just above that
of NHFT as a whole. For some of us it has been a reassuring confirmation that
we already lead a healthy lifestyle, that can be built on just by doing extra
steps on quiet days or choosing to walk rather than drive sometimes. Others
have embraced the challenge of pushing themselves to improve their health and
fitness, by taking up running or building walks into their daily routine.
We’ve been made more aware of our nutrition too and
several people have made changes that, like those with our exercise, are
ones that hopefully will continue well beyond the GCC 100 days.
Although sometimes fitting the steps in has been a chore
the discipline of entering your steps each day and not wanting to let the team
down has helped us persevere. It has also been fun, watching the leaderboard,
seeing new locations opening up and winning trophies along the way and most of
us would like to repeat the experience next year.
Bring on GCC 2016!
