    Hello fellow travelers. Bonaparte and I took a little side trip out of Torquay to watch the surfers at Bells Beach. There were a couple of surfers smokin’ up in van while their golden retriever dug holes in the sand. I kept walking but I could tell Bonaparte wanted to stay and visit that golden haired beauty.

    Ok, fellow strollers, its time for our Day Three update! Drum roll please......

    In the immortal words of Jon Bon Jovi "Oooh, we're halfway there"! Well, actually more than halfway, we've walked 55% of the way along the Great Ocean Road. Great job, team :smiley:

    We've walked right on through Lorne, and have safely arrived at Apollo Bay.

    With the addition of the extra data from your team-mates, we covered a mahooosive 36.59 miles yesterday! Ok, so some of was from the previous days, but who cares when we have all this sunshine and blue water to look at?

    We beat our week one target in just three days - we truly are Team Awesome. I'm starting to think we're gonna kick this one in the pants in a week, and if we do, let's keep walking to see just how many miles we can get done in the two weeks.

    ... how are you converting steps into miles? I'll post miles if it's easier.

    Steps or miles is fine. An adult has a pace of between 2000 and 2500 steps per mile, so I'm using the middle point, 2250, and working it out from there. When people enter steps, I divide the number of steps by 2250 to get the mile count. I figured it was probably the fairest way of doing it without actually travelling to meet all you lovely people and measuring your strides :smile:

    You just made me BWWAaaahahaAAAa! You're invited to come measure my stride any time you find yourself in the neighborhood. :D

    Sorry for the delayed update, I have two essays kicking my butt, but I've tallied the totals, and here are our new updates.

    Drum roll...

    Ok, are we ready for an even bigger update.

    Day Five:

    Team Awesome covered a whopping 30.3 miles, taking us to EIGHTY-NINE PER CENT of our target!!

    Depending on how we did today, well.... we might have made it folks. But I'm not counting chickens here. lets see what the morning brings....

    We made it to the Twelve Apostles today, and decided to all dip our toes in that beautiful blue water. We know that as we're so close to making it, we can take a little time.

    @ 23:59 on Wed. the 6th I hit 4999 steps (2.18 miles)...SO annoying because by the time I got ready to check my total, it was midnight--so any other steps roll over to the next day! I hate #'s like that! :# (...guess I don't need to mention that I have obsessive-compulsive tendencies...? :blush: )
    This group is cookin! Looks like we'll soon have to start thinking about where we're walking next! (My early vote is UK end to end...I've always wanted to go to Scotland! :D )
    Thank you again for being such a bitchin' walk coordinator! (...perhaps I should mention that "bitchin'" is a compliment in late 20th century American slang!) B)

    I'm happy to be 'bitchin', ha ha, and thanks.

    I'm doing the basic set up for the next team challenge now so we're ready to roll come May 1st. But I'm dying to know how far we make it in 14 days for this one...

    Bumping this to remind everyone to add their data for the 6th April.

    I'm going to tally up in a few hours, and I think we may have made it....

    I'm getting an error message on the spreadsheet today. I'll check back later but if I forget, it the same thing as every day, 45 minutes of seated aerobics :) .
