Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

More Progress:

• Forth Rail Bridge, Scotland 680 steps 45 flights - DONE!!!

• Starting Sydney Opera House, Australia 14 /28 flights so far!
• My goal for this past week (Sunday - Saturday) was 120 steps and i managed to surpass this doing 144!
• Most important personal objective - NO MORE HUFFING and PUFFING after one flight!!! (A bit of a huff/puff after maybe 5 in a row - but barely) > this is a quality of life kind of improvement IMHO.

GOOD JOB! i think it's wonderful the way you have taken to this challenge so quickly! it's great to come in here and read your progress, not just the flights themselves but the way you are feeling physically.

quick question - can we use a stair stepper for this challenge? My first thought was it was just actual stairs, but I do have a stepper and wondered if any one else uses it ??

Without my aerobic step, I'd never have made Everest once, let alone twice!!

Jimmie... I'm climbing at my usual pace. I hope I didn't do something silly like add a hundred more, by mistake, when updating my siggy... though I don't think I did. Siggy is my only record. Don't write the flights down anywhere else and my math is..... um.... well, perhpas I should say it isn't!!

Take your time though... we can enjoy the anticipation of a leisurely stroll (!!) to the top.

sal, i am sure your math is just fine. i had a couple days where i just didn't get as many flights in. i'll try to get in step with you by the end of the week.
