I am in! Coming back after an injury, so I have been using the stairclimber at the gym more and more. This fits just perfectly. Thanks!

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'm dead tired after 20 minutes of running up the stairs.

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 :-)
