    is it too late to join? sounds awesome, i'm in if it's not too late!! :)

    Nope. Never too late. Just added you to the spreadsheet, so start climbing and start counting.

    We're gonna keep this an open group and people came join us whenever they want. Spread the word.

    @bulblesburst80: yep, we're counting up and down this time. so, if you're on a stair stepper and go up, up, down down, that counts for 2 steps.

    Wow. Just noticed that I totally destroyed your name. >< Sorry!! :blushing:

    Would it be too late to join in on this??? I'm a Stay-at-home Mom and I have an aerobic step here at home. It's a great way to keep me motivated to get at least some cardio in every day!
    My name is Amber btw! Thanks!

    Hey, I tried my hand at making some badges for us. First attempt, so I hope they aren't too lame. If someone comes up with something better, please post it for us! Choose your favorite. :)

    Can I join? I have been walking around the buildings on break but the weather is getting crappy so walking the stairs would be great.

    I'd like to join - I love the idea of this challenge, and I live on the third floor, so I go up and down stairs several times a day already - this will motivate me to run up and down some more :-)
