        Yeah, Kristi - are you wearing a pair of winged shoes by any chance? (Like Hermes wears)


        While I'm taking a breather, may as update you on my position- just over halfway up Ben Nevis. The going is getting a bit steeper - now I know why you slowed down, Jimmie 48!

            Wow, Ben Nevis is really beautiful. Wouldn't it be something to climb it for real.

            Welcome aboard Sweetgirl. It's great to have someone else to climb the buildings with.

                  Thanks guys, I really needed this.
                  I've been to step aerobics a few times recently but over the weekend my husband made me a really great step block (for indoors) so that I can just have my music in my ears and step for free and at anytime the mood hits me. So I'm set

                    wow! i am totally way behind in this! sorry about that, fellow challengers.

                    sweetgirl, good to see you joining in the challenge! we are all at different levels but all of us trying to gain the award! make sure you post your climbs when you reach the top! you are counting the steps in each climb apparently! good idea! i had not thought of actually doing it the way you have devised. good thinking.... a step up is a step up!

                    susan, i so slowed down! i haven't done a climb in succession since i finished ben nevis. bad bad bad

                    shilogirl, keep climbing!

                    gem, congrats on finishing big ben! i'll mark it with an "x"!

                      yesss, each step up onto it. Get to add groovy arm moves too lol
                      I guess I am going to have to try to work out how many step ups I average in say 1 minute, at a certain pace. But I am very happy doing it this way.
                      My thigh muscles aren't thanking me yet though haha

                            Finished the Seattle Space Needle (wow that took a long time - I kept forgetting to keep track of my flights)

                            Starting Canary Wharf tomorrow (only 3 more buildings to go).

                            Great Job Gem.

                            Wow Jimmie, that's a big jump in flights from Ben Nevis to Mont Blanc. I never noticed before.

                            Sounds like you're gonna have alot of fun here Sweetgirl. I know I am!
