          Thanks so much for the congrats everyone! I must say I'm pleased to move on... except that I'm sorry to have missed Bio on Mt. Blanc. Bio... hope the low carb goodies aren't too frozen when you come to them... at least they won't go bad! Congrats on finishing Ben Nevis!!! See you on Kilimanjaro, after you've topped Blanc!

              Sal, I'm not too worried about frozen goodies. Keeps them from spoiling. I can always heat them up over a camp fire. I'm not certain how long Mont Blanc is going to take me. I'm determined to climb it and running stairs for 30 minutes certainly helped! LOL Good luck on your new mountain! Can't wait to be on it b/c the name is cool to say!

              Hey Sanne! Glad you got some flights in....every one of them counts!

                sanne, yes indeed every one of them counts! we have some challengers that have not climbed anything in ages but if and when they come back, all of their flights count as if they had never left.

                count them all and add that 23 flights to your total! good for you for keeping on with your climbing!

                  I've finished another building! I never thought I would be able to use a StairMaster product, but with the help of a fabulous personal trainer I was able to manage my knees while using the StairMaster. She had to train me a bit to concentrate on my heel instead of pushing off the steps with my toes.

                        Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

                        just a brief report on my progress:

                        i've done well lately with this. i am under 1000 to go on kilimanjaro. in all honesty, i think by the end next week i'll be done with it.
                        i am using the step stool a bit. out of 120 flights yesterday i did 40 of them using the step, stepping up from the side. that seems to use a different set of muscles, or at the very least, it's using them in a different way.

                        anyway, that's my progress.
                        jack is still not getting much accomplished but still counts each flight he does.

                          120 flights in one day is fantastic jimmie! I struggle to find time to do 50, even with the step. You'll be waving the flag on Everest before you know it! Can't wait to see the award in your siggy collage!
