zencyn - yeah, I love that site too, they have the best pictures and facts and info

hehe is it just me? or does anyone else feel a touch of vertigo when concentrating on that view from the top? I couldn't stop looking at it lol

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

thanks for the great pic, sweet! what a view!

i've been counting the flights as best as i could. didn't come across my pennies till yesterday afternoon. i've had to guess but i would say i've been cautious with my calculations.
i was able to keep up with the numbers yesterday and got 35 flights done just by putting stuff away.
at this moment i have 3041 of 3871.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

hey gang! it's been awhile since anyone has posted a finished climb or any progress.

is everybody on track? i know spring/summer events happen but lets keep climbing!

my progress is slow but i'll try to step it up a bit today. the mileage challenge has me in catch up mode at the moment but i'll get a fair amount of flights in today.... i hope.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I'm still trying for my minimum of 50 flights per day, counting everyday stairs and the aerobic stepper ones. I usually manage 20 in the early morning and another 30 or so spread out during the day. A few blips here and there though.

Still working at it - it's going slow, I always seem to be busy with other things, but I try to hit the stair stepper at the gym at least twice a week.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I finally got permission from my physician to use the stairs. I can climb stairs, but I'm not allowed to go down stairs. Thank goodness for elevators, eh?

Today, I climbed 2 flights of stairs, but I need to find my log sheet to see where I'm at so far on this mountain.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I've missed that you've been "out of commission" Bio. Sorry to hear. Hope nothing serious and you're on the mend. Yippee that you got the green flag for stairs! How strange that you can go up, but not down!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Sally, going down the stairs puts too much stress on my knee (I tore two ligaments), but evidently going up the stairs isn't as stressful to the joint. Thankfully, I no longer have to wear my leg brace or use crutches, but I feel uneasy walking quickly or standing for long periods of time.

Jimmie, I can't wait to get completely healed so that I can get back to doing some more challenging, aerobic exercises.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I figured it must be a knee thing Bio... glad things are getting better...but take baby steps (ha ha, pun intended)... knees can be tricky things to heal.
