    BUT...Isn't cold a good reason to get moving? I may shiver as I get dressed, but after a few flights, I'm sweating as I put on makeup. This morning was taking in a few extra runs to make up time for being a slug on Monday. I had to turn down the heat in the house, LOL. (I need to inch down the thermostat to save on heating fuel; when I feel hot is a good time to do it. It seemed chilly at 68 last week, now it's set on 62. Of course, the weather has been wacky too- it finally gave us a good freeze at 23°F last night, so 62 will soon feel plenty warm!)

    Guess what!

    Only more flights to the top of Ben Nevis!!!
    I can be there by Friday night!

        susan
        is a very very good number! i often do that many fllights!

        yesterday when i did flights, i did about 10 or 12 and by then i was warm enough to get the regular work out duds on. it would help to have some descent things to wear while working out too.

        sweetgirl!! congrats on finishing you climb!!! onward and upward!!

        btw, i got in 60 flights yesterday and jack got in 50.

              Hopping between real life and virtual mountains Boonie!!! It was a nice trip (work trip) but not really very productive.... and I looked and looked at those mountains...but didn't budge past base camp at hotel! I'm sticking to Ben like a limpit!!!

              How far up are you now, then Boonie?

                Sally, the summit is in view! I will lose communication before I reach it today/tomorrow, so on Monday I'll already be on my way up Mon Blanc, after a reprieve on the Rhine for some wine!

                        you all got a little thanks pm in the "mail" but i did some calculating and wanted you to know just what has happened since april with this challenge.

                        as a group, each on their own climb, at their own pace, we have completed 18,936 flights of stairs. that's 284,040 stairs!!!!

                        now i actually think it's a bit more but sadiejen never did say she finished kilimanjaro but i think she got that bad boy out of the way first thing.
