GCC Update

This week our team have made it to location 67 - Fore of Ireland. Home to over 4 million people, Fore is a beautiful town with monastery ruins, and 600 year old churches.

 

We have made a couple of milestones this week as a team: we are officially over halfway through the challenge now with only 7 weeks to go. As a team we also reached a combined a tally of 5 million steps - see award here.

 

A few personal milestones reached by some of our team members: well done to Shanny who reached her one millionth step this week. Also big congratulations to Sina who welcomed her baby boy Kemp into the world 8 weeks ago. Kemp's arrival was very early but he is doing amazingly well and Sina is now looking forward to having him home. Also a special mention to Candice who at 36 weeks pregnant is still doing fantastic daily step counts. You are an inspiration to us all!

 

As a team we are averaging 11,600 steps per day (approx 7.4kms per person) so we are well over the 10,000 daily step target.

 

Some handy tips that are used by our team members to keep their daily step counts up:

• Exercising (going for a run or going to the gym) before work. It's a great way to kick start your day plus you get your workout for the day out of the way.
• Going for a walk during your lunch break.
• Getting off one stop early on public transport on your way to and from work.
• Taking quick walks around the office a couple of times a day
• Taking the stairs instead of the lift.
