Grant has posted up about how Readify challenged the DPE team at Microsoft to compete in the Global Corporate Challenge. Basically the idea is that we wear around pedometer all day and each day we input our total number of steps each day which contributes to a team total. The first people around the world wins.
Competition is everything for the human species, but it seems to me that the greatest competition is with yourself. When I first started recording my steps I wasn’t really using the pedometer correctly, but I’ve improved my technique there and the results show it. The interesting this is that I’m not I am motivated to keep trying to push my step count up.
Even though today was relatively sedantry I did manage to get over ten thousand steps again. I’m going to try and keep it above that level each day and if I’m lucky keep it improving over time.
Now we just need to get Frank’s guys inputing their step counts so we can see how we compare. I reckon his guys do way more miles than us on feet, but know knows. Grant’s goal of reaching 30,000 steps in one day seems pretty awesome to me, I’d love to take a stab at doing that – maybe on a weekend.
