I just looked up the Hancock Observatory. It is 94 flights. There is even a "Hustle up the Hancock" race. I won't be able to participate... but I think climbing 94 flights is still quite a challenge. Who is with me? Finished by Wednesday? My week will be hectic... but I will fit it in.
ok. I think I would like to do this but explain a little more. Are we doing it all in one day or over several days as we pick each thing?
I don't know what the original intention was... I just did all of the 78 flights in one day. It took me 23 minutes. I am planning to do all 94 flights in one sessions as well. Obviously... I wouldn't ever get to 2000 flights in one session... maybe I would break that up over a week or 2. You do what you feel comfortable with... I will warn you... It burns!
Okay, I'm in for the Hancock Building! I need to pace myself, my calves are sore today!! I did mine all in one day, but more because I procrastinated and I had a challenge to have it done on Saturday. Challenges definitely motivate me.
Okay guys this is really wimpy but to be honest my calves hurt so bad the day after the first challenge that I'm not going to finish today. I got in 30 flights so far. With my schedule it will probably be Saturday again. How are you doing?
Oh... I am so happy to hear you say that... you are 30 up on me. I went back to work this week after being off for Winter Break (I'm a teacher) and I haven't been to the gym since Sunday.
But... Saturday it is. Keep it up! You are really motivating for me.
I'm climbing a virtual mountain, but it's not going to be in a day, or two. My work floor it on 12 so I'll be done by the end of the month...that's 30 trips up and that's plenty!
I did it! I got 97 flights done last night. I paced it out through out the day so it would not be as painful as the last challenge. How are you doing Louise1013?
Iggystar - 360 flights!? Wow! The stairs I'm running our 13 so I have to convert to figure out 15 steps per flight. I wish I had more stairs, but I don't know about 12 flights!
How about the Petronas Twin Tower 190 flights by next Saturday?
Hi Everyone! I was hoping I could join your challenge... I just got over my fear of the Stairmill yesterday at the gym and did 40 flights in about 15 minutes....that was probably the hardest 15 minutes of exercise I've done in a while! I'm an elliptical frequenter so I thought it was time to mix it up a bit. Jigglybits I'm gonna join you for Mont Blanc too....since I was also there back in 2002. I figure if I can climb up and over and down and Alp in one day (about 9 or 10 hours straight) then if I get to the gym every day I can try to do this one in about 2 weeks.
Good luck everyone!
Alright...just so I can keep track since I just got home from the gym... I started with the stairs today and got 55 flights so I'm at 90 flights total. I followed up with an hour on the elliptical....man I'm pooped.. I might have to take a rainy Sunday afternoon nap!
Thanks for the luck!
Alright I did another 40 flights today which puts me at 130 flights. This means I've completed the Seattle Space Needle & The Canary Wharf Tower....long way to go before I hit Mont Blanc though!
Hi chicks... I have been without power for 4 days. I am just now getting it back tonight. I am up to 48 from last week. I will try and finish both by Saturday so I am not behind.
Thanks for thinking of me. And... Awesome job! That is so great that you all want to do this... it is such a workout. I just need to thaw a bit before getting back. It was 40 degrees in my house today. Brrr!
