    I challenge you to write anything you want to post on clutchfans by hand, scan it, upload it, and post the scanned image link into the thread instead of the easy (lazy) way to typing straight into the text box and hitting 'submit reply'.

    Yeah, I already failed this. My connecting flight was about to leave so I had to run on the moving walkway/horizontal escalator for extra speed. No way would I have made it had I been afoot only.

    ^ droxford, sir, I didn't say you had to NEVER EVER use an elevator. Just CUT DOWN USAGE substantially. By the end of the month, you'll be able to do all 36 without breaking a sweat.
    I don't think you got off the challenge. The hall could have been a few feet less than the entire distance had you not been on the conveyor belt. :) Get back on the challenge. At least you didn't just STAND there, like most people.

    Did you push a grandma out of the way (name that movie - difficulty: moderate)? That would have made up some effort. :grin:

    Today is the last day for the challenge. :eek: I've probably used the elevator one or two times, I admit, while I didn't remember that I was on this. A coworker said: "hey... you're cheating" but only after I got out of the elevator doors.

    I am at about 165... although I am near where I wanted to be, it's not a strict diet... but just maybe eating less and played a bit of basketball, soccer, and Ping Pong.

    LAST DAY. Y'all can go back to using elevators tomorrow. Today, use the stairs. :cool:
