congratulations for finishing canary wharf tower!


it'll be fun trekking upward with you, barr it just seems so much easier when doing a buddy system.
and don't worry about how many i can do or who's faster or whatever. you set the pace and i'll follow. any of my extra flights can go towards something else. it's all cool.
so i'll adjust my challenges listed in my stats, add petronas twin towers and get those flights done

i don't know if you read back through this thread. it's so long that i would not have but one time when i was climbing the twin towers a special was aired on the history channel or discovery, some such station. anyway, they showed the buidling of the towers and the complications, the achievements and so on. it was very cool to be climbing and see the special at the same time.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Hi All,
I'm back! I never really stopped climbing stairs, just got lazy about recording the #'s and plus, our computer is in the guest room and we have a long term guest now for SEVERAL MONTHS!!! Ahh the joy of family...we like hosting guests but this has been and will probably be a long (stressful) haul...what can i expect it's DH's family...but i will try to access my spread sheet on the netbook which i don't always have access to, and keep up w/ this somehow, this is one of my most favorite challenges! it seems that when i have to write it down i am motivated to do more.

Anyway, yesterday i completed ØKiev Tower 2526 steps 168 flights! and am NOW ClimbingGres-2 Power Station Ekibastusz, Kazakhstan 2754 steps 184 flights 16/184 flights done

May we all keep climbing to greater heights!

CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING KIEV TOWER! we're so glad that you are still climbing it motivates you when you have to write it down???? well, does it motivate you more when you have to report so i can write it down too? if so, feel MOTIVATED! i'm watching our steps add up and it won't be long before we hit the 2 million mark!

the old fashioned way.... going up actual flights of stairs. i have two flights of stairs in my house. laundry and den on the bottom level, kitchen and living room on the main level and our bedroom is on the third level. i get quite a few flights in just doing chores throughout the day but some days, like a couple of those days last week, i will do 10 or 12 at one time, take a break and do 10 or 12 again.
i do have a step stool that i have used on occassion as it really gets my heart rate going but most of the flights are done with actual stairs.

i see i need to do 20 flights today for petronas so i'll be off to do that in just a few minutes.
