Completed 100 day journey - reflection on the Global Challenge


Phew! The Library Stampers have completed the 100 day Global Challenge so time to soak those aching feet in a big bowl of water and contemplate our achievements over a nice cuppa.

Collectively we covered 3,356 miles by walking, swimming or cycling and we arrived at our final location of Warsaw in Poland…which has the world’s tallest four faced clock tower!

Along the way we completed several mini challenges for example taking 75,000, 100,000 or 125,000 steps in 5 days. Several of our team even completed over 1 million steps each and as a team we completed over 7 million steps; that’s a lot of walking!

Reflecting back on the Challenge, it was fun to be part of a team and to give and receive encouragement from others. It definitely raised awareness of how much (or how little) exercise/walking some of us were doing each day however sometimes it was quite a challenge to fit in walking into each day. So, the experience in three words? Motivating, challenging, fun.

Where do we go from here? Find a balance between exercise, work and personal commitments so that fitness and general wellbeing are increased and to do less sofa surfing!
