Can't believe it -I beat Clare C!

Feeling very smug this week as I finally won the weekly step total and beat Clare C!
We didn't have a challenge week last week, as Suzanne was poorly and Clare C was still thrashing the pants off the rest of us, so Claire B was not up for it.
Anyway after finishing work a little early on Friday and taking my boys for a reasonable walk before dinner, I just checked out what was going on with facebook and noted Clare C's "jog on" taunt to Claire B.

Jog on ClaireI wasn't playing until you asked me to sync!

With the fitbit app, you can monitor friends 7 day steps and Clare C just happened to post details of her latest win, however, she was only 4500 steps ahead of me - with Claire B retired for the week with her glass of wine, it was up to me to put things right, I was up for the challenge to beat Clare's weekly step total, the gauntlet was laid!
So from about 7pm until my last count at 11:46 pm I spent the evening shuffling around my lounge , my kitchen, my bedroom and bathroom just continually moving- the beagles just kept giving me strange looks, but they think I'm nuts anyway.
With encouraging posts from Claire B and the odd slurp of wine myself, I was winning at 8:22 then Clare C came back at me - she was off again winning again by 8:50.
Undeterred and with more facebook encouragement from Claire B I hit the floor again regaining the lead at 9:07pm only to lose it again at 9:32 and get it back again at 9:48, with Claire B's backing I couldnt lose!
But again Clare C sped into the lead at 10:31, this was getting silly now, Claire B had lost interest at this point, so I was on my own.
I think actually Clare C had given in and gone to bed, however, I was satisfied that I had the victory - albeit a very minor one, but a victory nonetheless!

My calf muscles knew about it Saturday morning, probably not the best way to train for this walk, but hey, I don't do normal!
On the good news front, we have a new "short term" team member who will be joining us for part of our trek (two days) Neil Bancroft has managed to wangle a couple of days off to come and give poor Kenny some male support. We are very happy about this, someone else to carry us or our things would be very useful - just kidding boys!
Sadly Neil does not want to join in the fitbit fun with us, neither does Kenny, I believe the phrase "It frightens me" was used when invited to join our fitbit challenge!
Lets all "jog on" then......
