      Panting up behind you Susan... as I'm sure I didn't overtake you in the mist these last three days!!

                          skates indeed! i couldn't stand the fact the you (sal) and boonie would beat me up this mountain. i did start it so long ago.

                          the past 2 days i poured on the steam. i should be done with the climb tomorrow. jack has 9 or 10 to go to finish his.

                            Hi. Hope you don't mind if I join in. I need to get in some cardio to kick start this weight loss. My plan is do every virtual building and mountain - starting with the smallest.

                            I have been trying to figure out a way to work some cardio into my week (I already do weights with my Fiance at lunch). I can't believe I never thought of this before. We recently moved into our first house . . . with two flights of stairs .

                            I guess the Millennium Dome is first . . . I'm off to England

                              we don't mind at all that we have another climber! this is a challenge that anyone can join at anytime!
                              most of us started with the smallest climb. sadie started with kilimanjaro. sal jumps from one to another. all's good no matter where you start!

                              let us know when you finish a climb!
