I’m 8 days into the Everest Challenge and I’ve reached the figurative base camp!

Total steps: 102,148 Steps – Woo Hoo!

This thanks in large part to the company summer party and LOTS of dancing! (Hey, steps walking and steps dancing, are still steps, right?!?)

Also found out that there are some 700 employees who have signed up are challenged to walk approximately 10,000 steps a day in 40 days – the equivalent of walking up Mount Everest – divided into a little over 87 teams. My team of 6 is currently hovering at #27!

*Pay no attention to the blue line. He’s a marathon runner. How the Hell do I compete with that?!?

I’m 7 days into the Everest Challenge. Not bad.

Total steps: 90,148 –
If you figure 10,000 steps is about 5 miles, that means that I’ve gone about 45 miles walking in the last 7 days. 🙂

I’m 5 days into the Everest Challenge. Not bad. I’m not the top of the heap – but I’m almost to Base camp 1. I’ve had some good days this week (I think I’m excited) and the weather’s been mixed. (I was soaked to the skin on Day 2).

This is the start of the day and I’m above average but still not to basecamp. The red line is me, the orange is “average” and that blue guy… I don’t know who he is but he’s averaging 25,000 steps (15 miles) a day?!? Must be a Marathon Runner.
