Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

big mountain is coming along pretty good. i've been counting my everyday flights and taking every opportunity to go up and down the stairs and then the rest i've been doing on my step stool, trying to go 20 minutes or so at time. i'm 504/901 right now.

That's cool... you'll soon be done then; probably before I get to the top of the french viaduct, the slow rate I'm going these days!

Finished the Millau Viaduct today. Think I'm gonna hit the B R E N Tower in Nevada next!

great challenge......i haven't done this in quite a while...but lemme tell you a fun little story.

in 1994 my brother and i went to europe for two weeks and....we challenged eachother endlessly. stupid stuff, brother stuff, guy stuff. we were staying i think....it was a sheraton hatel in brussels belgium. it was 13 stories high, from basement level to top floor.....so i challenged my brother to a race up the stairs. we pretty much stayed with eachother step for step....i guess it was a tie, lol......

but i did beat him in a backwards running sprint....kicked his you know what in that!!!

There seem to be a lot of new landmarks on the map I haven't heard of yet, so I better get a move on and finish ol' Everest. I seem to be dragging waaaaaayyyy behind...

nice little brother challenge story, chris.
does this mean you're joining this challenge, chris?
if so, let us know what you're climbing by choosing from groups in the first post and then let us know when you finish up something!

Jimmie... I'm hoping the BREN won't sway too much in the wind!

Chris... fun story!

Susan... nice to see you back in here! As Jimmie says... our footsteps haven't quite thawed yet on ol' Everest! Looking forward to seeing you plant your flag there!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Those footsteps are still there for sure, Jimmie & Sally - in time I should be back on course and find them, with a little determination, despite my being a bit off course at the moment.

I gained a little headway while helping unload a lot of stuff my DM needed carried from her van up 2 flights to her attic, and then retrieving stored Christmas stuff so she can start her decorating. Now if I can just get back into better practice of keeping count of the total! I tend to forget to count the flights when I'm helping DM at her house; at home & when I was working, I had no problem keeping track.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

great to see you keeping with it susan! every little bit helps and gets you one flight closer to the top of everest!

jack and i both have less than 100 to top our climbs. i'll be earning my Challengers Choice in just a few days!

[sallyseachange]

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Looking forward to seeing that Challenger's Choice award in your siggy, jimmie!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I finished the B.R.E.N. Tower yesterday, and am taking a short break until I get back from the islands before I move on to something else (probably around Wednesday next)
