Steps for Life

The staffers at NewPointe just completed an 11 week walking challenge. The goal for each participant was 10,000 steps a day.

The results are in and I'm quite happy with how things ended up. I came to find out that as a staff, we are a competitive bunch and each team (there were 3 teams of 7 people each)wanted to win. The winning team gets their car's washed by the loosing two team.

It was very close. Here are the total number of steps by team:

1st Place 7,229,860
2nd Place 7,150,349
3rd Place 7,079,567

On a personal note, I was very happy with how I did. Yes, I walked the most steps out of everyone.

I walked 1,667,772 steps in ll week or approximately 790 miles. That's way cool. On a side note, I only have 15 more miles to go pedaling my bicycle to reach my goal of 2,000 miles for the year.
