July Stair Climb Challenge

On the 5th July The Shard opens and becomes the tallest building in Europe. Our challenge this month is to climb the equivalent stairs of The Shard and 3 other buildings, and down again!
One Canada Square (Canary Wharf) - 50 Floors
The Shard - 87 Floors
Empire State Building - 102 Floors
Burj Khalifa (Dubia) - 163 Floors
That's 402 flights of stairs over the month (about 13 per day)
The flight of stairs you use can be at home, work or anywhere that you wouldn't normally use. Going up to bed or other everyday use doesn't count. You must make an active effort to do the challenge when you wouldn't normally be using the stairs (during Ad breaks, waiting for kettle, don't take lift at work etc). Don't forget you must come down 402 times as well.
Take one building at a time (your choice whether the get the tall one out of the way or start with the smaller one!). Please post here if you want to join in and then keep us updated on which building you're doing and how much progress you're making.
Good Luck!

Hi Terry,
I'm in. I need to be after my abortive attempt at the Euro's ;-)
My ankle should be ok with this too. I work on the 5th floor of my building so will try to do the walk three times a day minimum.
I'm starting with One Canada Square.
Cheers
