During week three, 34 employees participated in the Campus to Campus Walking Challenge, and as a group we logged 2,559,863 steps! A Wellness Committee member suggested that we try to walk across the United States next. During week three, we walked from Los Angeles, California to Phoenix, Arizona to Alburquerque, New Mexico and most of the way to Tulsa, Oklahoma! The average steps per team member per day was 10,755. Did you know a typical pair of tennis shoes will last 500 miles of walking? As a team, we would have worn out two and half pairs of shoes! During week three, Jayne Kluge, Ron Kottnitz, Lea Truttmann, Barb Tomashek-Ditter, and Jeff Krueger had the highest number of steps. Let’s see how far we get during week four!
