During week six, 29 employees participated in the Campus to Campus Walking Challenge, and as a group we logged 1,893,719 steps! Since we crossed the continental United States during weeks three through five, we thought we’d try backpacking across Europe next! During week six, we walked from Lisbon, Portugal to Madrid, Spain, and are enjoying the french countryside as we make our way to Paris!
The average steps per team member per day was 9,329. Did you know the average steps per day for an American is 5,117, which is the least of any industrialized nation? Australians take 9,695 steps per day on average, so a little more than our team members!
During week six, Barb Tomashek-Ditter, Jayne Kluge, Lindsay Hahn, Jamel Heim and Ron Kottnitz had the highest number of steps. Great job team – hope you can find creative ways to stay active even though the weather has turned quite chilly!
