I’m 20 days into the Everest Challenge and we’re halfway through.

I’m the one in red, and I’m almost to the Summit.

Steps taken: 225,600

That translates to about 115 miles – that’s the Distance between Dublin and Waterford! With 20 days left to go, I’m sure to reach the summit and hopefully make it back down all for charity!
On a side note, as team captain, I just wanted to point out my team map:

It’s Day 20, and not only did my team together make the top of Everest – we are now also ranked #6 out of the Entire company. The top 5 teams get the money for charity, so now the real race begins – to get into the top 5 AND back down the figurative mountain in the next 20 days! Go Team Mixed-A-Peel!

I’m 17 days into the Everest Challenge and I’ve reached the figurative 3rd base camp! I’ve only got 90,000 steps to go. I want to do this in the next 3 days (that’ll be day 20 – halfway through the challenge) so I’m really pushing hard for the top of the mountain.

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?!?
