PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

we're a mess, ain't we???

that sounds good, sal. base camp is at 900/3871.
wow... i just can't believe the climbing you've been doing!

Well, apart from needing the extra exercise since hub got ill and my routines changed somewhat, my doggies too are getting old (13 and 14 years) and full of arthritis. Last year the older one started only coming on five mins of the 30 min fast dog walks, before turning back; but after this winter, the younger 13 year old has started doing that too. I don't like walking alone, so I tend to turn back too and get out the aerobic step instead. Quite useful for clocking up steps. I get to watch the news on TV too... or House MD!!!

I'm thinking of buying a Wii fit, to fill the gap. I wonder if they do virtual mountain climbing on that? Maybe we should sell the idea to Nintendo and make a mint as well as staying slim!!!!

I'll have to try not to slacken the pace (which is what I tend to do at the slightest excuse!) now that I know I don't have to pant to keep up... until you overtake me, that is!!

sal, i don't want you to slack too much. i can use the step stool version of climbing and it won't take me nearly as long. i'll begin that tomorrow. i'll try to remember to post my progress every couple of days to let you know when i'll 'be home for supper.

we don't have any access to the fancy games. we're still hooked up to an older nintendo and a playstation2. jack has looked into buying a step machine of some kind but, of course, the ones i like are expensive.

I promise it won't be pasta! More like Tibetan yak stewed in snow! Not sure yet what veggies I can come up with.

Hellooooo... still about a day's climb short of camp 3; surely you've given up waiting on me.... sorry, I got sidetracked at a wedding in NC - 2 days of driving there & back; a lot of hanging out during rehearsal & most of Saturday at the church & reception...

TOM also was only "pretending" to end. Not sure where that is going to go, but STILL is with me What a drag it is, gettin' old...

Anyhow, this weekend is Camporee camping - so much for stairs there; I'll truly make it to base before leaving, tho, as all the camping gear has to come down from upstairs or up from the basement before work tomorrow.

See Y'all there, if you aren't too far up distant heights!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

susan, how many flights do you have done for everest? sal and i were calculating things differently and sal is way ahead of me.

we're meeting up at 900 flights unless you are already past that point.
