Congrats Love on finishing the Millennium Dome!!! Woo Hoo!!!! Those legs are gonna get a great workout!! Having a workout buddy is great. Since DH doesn't work with me, I the coworkers are gonna have to do something with me instead. A lot of them complain about not finding time to exercise. I think the stairclimbing challenge shows them that it's not that hard & there are a wide variety of goals to get.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Congratulations, Jimmie48, you really deserve that!!

Now, gotta ask a favor JJJJJJJJJJJ
Can you please find a mountain somewhere in height between Ben Nevis (585 flights) and Mt Blanc (2028 flights) and put it in the challenge? JJJJJJJJJJJ

There's such a huuuuuge difference in the height of the two, it would be nice to be nearing the top of another mountain at half the height of Mt. Blanc. I'm only halfway up that one, and it's taken forever!! (I could make a virtual jump

from the side of this one to the equivalent on the second

)

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

susan, i was thinking the same thing. i don't know why the makers of that challenge didn't put something between the two. maybe they figured by the time you are ready to conquer those last 3, we would pros and be ready for such a climb.

the problem with adding one is this: others have asked for an addition of this or that and if i add for one, i gotta add for another and before you know it, we got 59 things to climb and keeping track of them all would certainly drive me crazy, which is a short drive most days.

here's the good thing and a positive way of looking at it all, climbing buddy. we are 1/2 way up mont blanc. if we had a climb that was 1,000 flghts, we'd be there, sal, you and myself ..... and looming in the distance would still be mont blanc with it's 2,028 flights. i'm looking at it this way, i got sal right behind me, you just ahead of me and the more you guys work it, the more i want to be hanging right there with you! you two are the ones keeping me motivated right now. i've set my goal for the flights i want to accomplish per week and i have been keeping that in my mind and trying not to think of what i have to do to reach the summit. susan, you are 1/2 way up that bugger of a mountain! 1/2 way!!! you got 1/2 of it done which is a might site better than where you were 1 month ago!

now, how's that for a pep talk?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Nice pep talk Jimmie... one that's good for everyone. Also... congrats on the soooo deserved award!

Boonie... another wonderful pic. They inspire me so! Ty!

As for me... not at halfway up Mont Blanc yet...but it's in sight!! I think I see Jimmie up there ahead of me, but Boonie is just a distant spec!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Morninggggggggg!

My first week climbin has gone well. My 'pot of gold' is growing daily! I've made it a little over 1/3 of the way up Slieve Donard and should get to the top sometime early next week!

I can't wait for the view and the singing with bio!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

That's right, Erin....we'll be singing on top of that mountain.

"The hills are alive...with the sound of mooooooosic. aaahhhhh" *voice cracks*

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Great pep talk, Jimmie. Now I feel your breath on the back of my neck, and see that Sal is picking up the pace. Just when I though it would be a good time for a nap. Better keep going lest I get passed whilst sleeping!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge
