    By the way, I now have 10 co-workers....well, 9 co-workers and 1 boss, going up the stairs with me during lunch. That's 11 people climbing, goofing off & having fun in the stairwell! Everyone is climbing Slieve Donard with me, and some are also climbing at non-lunch time to get those extra calories burned off (and to catch up with me, too!).
    bio, this is just good news for me! sadie and sal helped to urge me on to start this challenge. sadie was the one who actually supplied the instructions for us. sal encouraged and i got it going. it's just fantastic to see this spilling over into your work place. just fantastic!!!

      I'm thinking about printing off a copy of the stairclimbing info & posting it in the mailroom. Those professors need exercise, too! I'll also see if a student reporter might write an article to print in the university paper. We have TONS of stairs all over campus, inside and outside buildings. I guess it's one benefit of having it sprawl all over a huge hillside.

        you are the ones really keeping me motivated with this right at the moment. don't get wrong, i am happy for every climber, happy for every srep and flight but the ones right there on the same mountain are the ones i am looking to for energy.

        how many do you have?
        i have just finished 100 flights and got 90 in yesterday in hopes that i would be right on your furry little climbing boots, susan.

        1128/2028 i got 900 to go
        Heavens Jimmie! You've got wings on your feet! Awesome!
        Afraid I'm lagging behind y'all...but I did manage to get into the 800's today.
        Was wondering if those step boards would count towards the flights... I mean the little platform ones you can stack (that don't move) used for step aerobics? Am wanting to up my numbers so was thinking about getting one...

            CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING THE BRIDGE, LOVE! i'll mark it done on my sheet and i'll see you are one building closer to earning an award!

            now, the step question. would this step be about the same height as a stair step?
            i have no problem with this. a step is a step, right?
            at one time, a member had asked if she could count the 3 or 4 steps that was at her back patio and i said yes. you would have to count steps and instead of flights but i see no problem doing that. each step up is a step up, right? so i think we are good to go on counting that. just make sure to calculate the numbers accordingly.

              Right on Jimmie.... I'd stack it to stair height!

              So, Love2lose... seems we're ok with the steppers!! Yippeee. Now I just have to find one in this rural backwood I live in!

                            I am totally new to this but I want to go hiking in Yosemite at the end of May with my family and be able to keep up with them! So I think I am going to start with the smallest building and try for maybe about 1 each week...at least until the last few buildings. I don't even normally go up the steps once each day. I just went up five times and I felt worn out! All of you are pretty amazing!!!
