Global Corporate Challenge 2012

I hopefully will visit the post office tomorrow turtlemichael, I haven't had time so far this week.

 

[Fifa]

Lindsay, only one to Ozest participants. For oz_mark. So it's 3 for me as I intend to give Fifa hers in Cairns.

Thanks turtlemichael.
I've been in training for the last couple of weeks - I have a really keen work colleague who is a great walking companion!

Got my pack from Lindsay Wilson tonight.

Given my performance last year, I'm going to have to do something drastic to make sure I don't make a lacklustre contribution to the team! Seeing as I'm once again on a rotund vector, that's probably a good (?) incentive...

Sounds good. If you are up for it we'll have to do a walk one morning while you are in Cairns.

 

[oz_mark]

I hope your dog has a speedy recovery and you are both back out pounding the beat soon.

Ta

He's better now, and back in training

It's a deal

Met misstam yesterday, to find out I was her virgin "meet an AFF-er" experience. Hope I wasn't too scary

It's true - Lindsay popped my proverbial 'AFFers-live' cherry - I'll never be the same again!

Happy to report, not so scary, quite a delight in fact... although I'm going to have to lift my GCC game in light of having a pretty fit team captain... gym, here i come!

 

[QF WP]

Thanks misstam, must have showed you the good side. Fit - I may look it, but as I said - there's a good 4 or 5 kgs I can lose and I'm not fit.

Good news folks. Australia Post works! Looks like everyone now has their packs apart from the two to be hand-delivered in Canberra and Cairns. Hope everyone is in hard training! :shock:

Ready to deliver oz_mark's in CBR. Training has never stopped, the workout just intensifies during the season.

I had a false start this morning - woke up convinced the GCC started today.... was surprised not to have received an email from the official GCC site.... jumped on the website to check and see that we start tomorrow Oops. Well I'm all prepared for tomorrow, hope everyone else is as well.

 

[QF WP]

I started wearing my pedo on Monday so it is habitual for me to put it on as soon as I roll out of bed. Hit 10K both days without exerting any thought about maximising steps.

Roll on the start !

 

[turtlemichael]

All systems go. Maintain the rage for 4 months! I'm planning to walk with Fifa along the Cairns Esplanade tomorrow morning if this atrocious weather eases off. Hope it goes well for everyone.

If I lived in Cairns I reckon I would be 20kg lighter with that option everyday!

 

[anat0l]

I'm achieving close to 10k per day without trying much, but I'm getting scared about the kick-off tomorrow, as I've got to find ways to improve my step count for this competition!

Any tips for those mirroring me - a 9-6 job with at least 1 hour of travel time tacked on either side?

If you are doing 10,000 steps without trying you are doing well. Tips: Get up 30 minutes earlier and go for a 30 minute walk (4000 steps). Skip lunch and go for a 30 minute walk then. Do more walking at the weekends. Go for an indoor swim at the weekends. YMMV.

If you could see the weather today you wouldn't say that. I got in an 90 minute walk this morning but got drenched. In general though you are right. Maybe there should be a Cairns GCC penalty? (No smart comments please )
