Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Hooray for the latest conquerors (of virtual climbs) and new climbers. This challenge is growing fast! You're going to need a secretary soon, Jimmie! Lol

As for me... the top is in sight... and the jug!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

This whole conversation is just cute.

I'm moving because I'm looking at it as something I just want to do in order to feel better. I can only do the stairs three times in row before pooping out, but I now made it so that every time I get up to do something, I take at least one flight.

A little further to go... 390/490

That water really lived up to expectations! Coooooool as a mountain stream there atop the Petronas Towers. View was good too... all colonial down below! Made it to the top, at long last! Yippee!

Next, back to the UK for the BT Tower in Birmingham.

CONGRATULATIONS SAL! that water was a special atkins blend. it tends to never run out, never go bad and always stays cool. i hope you took the bottle with you!

Back at the stair climbing challenge again. Took a week off.
I went up to Vermomt last weekend and Spent 2-1/2 days on the Long Trail backpacking.
I hiked 30 miles and summited numerous mountains. It was very hot and humid and I am glad I have been stairclimbing for the last couple of months. It definitely had an impact on the enjoyment of my trip. I now have completed 135 miles of the Long trail and have 137 to go! Should be completed in mid Sept.
Have a great day everyone!

Killimanjaro...811 flights to go!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Ugh! I shudder to think Jimmie lol!

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to do the Petronas Twin Towers?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

uh............. let me check my sheet............
i started that on 18 june and finished on 26 june.
remember, i am not climbing every day necessarily. too many workouts, so little time! lol
my climb went like this:
40
day off
30
10
30
day off
day off
60 (what was i thinking!)
20

when i started out, slieve donard was my first climb, i was counting each time i trekked up my stairs. one flight at time. after that climb i realized that was too easy for me and not much of a challenge.
now i do my flights in succession and don't bother with the trips upstairs to bed or to deliver laundry or clean. now i do sets of 12 or 15 and just go 30 or whatever. i work up a better sweat and my heart rate gets going much better than with one flight at a time.
