Way to go everyone! It looks like everybody's been workin' it! I just finished Big Ben, and whoo, are my legs convinced I've got it out for 'em! I feel accomplished though, and I usually wait till the next day to start the following climb, but I may start it today!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

OK Jimmie I'm in! I've already started my steps at the beach. My goal is to walk down those steps and up the steps at least three times a week. Initially it's just walking, but I'm going to start running back up the steps 5 at a time slowly until I can run up all of them. It might take me a year...lol. I'll try to take a picture of my goal and post as soon as I figure out this new camera.

I was wondering if I could run down them at some point but I think I would just wind up tumbling down all of them - wouldn't that be a disaster! Well, we'll just see how it goes!

I really hope this gives me pretty (smooth) legs!

you're silly, sal! myjack is yourjack is ourjack............lol

cher, i'll add you on the growing list of climbers! what are you climbing first?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I'm climbing the steps at the private beach in Corona Del Mar. I'll have to take a picture of the steps for you. I also need to count how many steps there are. I lost count last time. They seem to go on forever and ever. It's quite the little task for me. Not the going down part, but, the going back up part...lol!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

cher,
i guess i needed to relay that different. i meant to ask what virtual building or mountain are you climbing first? sometimes it's best not to assume anything........... in the very first post of this thread you can get a chart (click on the link) and it will guide you through the calculating and show you the differnt things to virtually climb. just let us know which climb you are doing first and then boot scoot to get it done!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Jimmie,

I'm looking at the actual sheets right now. I'm attacking actual stairs -there are like 100. So, I'll probaly start with a virtual climb of the Millennium Dome England since it's only 320 steps. That's the closest to what I'm doing.
