The end of the journey


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!
