PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Seattle Space Needle, USA- 78 flights. I'm only 5 flights away from being at the top!! Tomorrow I'll start walking the Canary Wharf Tower, England - 107 flights.

Since I'm just starting Atkins and exercising I'm walking 11 flight of stairs each morning before anyone in our house gets up. This morning I noticed I got to the 6th flight of stairs before I started getting winded!

fantastic! the flights getting done and working up stamina, it's all good!

it's been a long time ago, but i remember the days when i was winded at 2 consecutive flights. one might not think that this challenge would be so beneficial but those of us that have been here awhile can atest to what you are experiencing.

Susan... you're certainly getting closer to the hot spot on Vesuvius!
As for that diet... you are too nice! I don't think I'd dignify it with paper planing it into the garbage... I'd treat it as the c**p it is and flush it straight down the loo! Think I'll definitely stick with Atkins too, along with jimmie!

Imagood1... nice climbing!
Just wait until you've been doing the challenge a while. You'll be surprised how you can hop up the flights fast and without getting winded. Lifts (or elevators to you Americans ) will become relics of the past!

Sally, that just flashed me back to Wall-E which family watched over the Holidays, to the scenario of future people who were lifted everywhere in their chairs from childhood.... ...I sure hope you are right!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

it's not as impressive as Vesuvius....but I have topped the Seattle Space Needle and have begun the Canary Wharf Tower in England. The only stairs here are 1 flight of stairs going to the basement...so I'm getting tired of them....off to find more stairs somewhere. I'm off again...

hey! you're just all over the place finishing things up aren't you?! congratulations on topping the space needle! i think that's the first finished climb of 2009.

Way to scale the heights, Sally! That's a major success - topped with being the first to get to the top of the Needle this year, you get to carry the 2009 Climber Award with you everywhere until another climber relieves you of it ...

And still no lava too look at yet, 347 with yet a ways to go.

thank you -- I'm on my way to the next bunch of stairs....I know it would be easier on a stepping machine but all I have is 13 stairs going to the basement...since 15 steps is what we're going by I go up and down 13 times a day ....that's my 11 flights of stairs each day that I need to do to make my goal (and a couple extra a day for myself). Should have taken my camera to take pictures at the top of the Space Needle...ROFL!!!

thank you -- I'm off to the top of the next place...1 flight at a time..that's my motto.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Glad to see you keeping the flight numbers up Carole!

I'm still updating my siggy with flights, as ever, but am going slower than I used to. I like that towards the end of a climb, I get the urge to finish it speedily and try to squeeze in a few more flights.
Our lift is broken these days so the whole family is forced to climb along with me!
