The local Y is having a Mt. Everest challenge from February to mid-March. Different types of exercise are worth so many feet, and the goal is to “climb” to the summit. For example, 30 minutes of running is the equivalent of climbing 1000 feet. My personal goal was to reach the top within a month, and yesterday I made it! I’m flag number nine, and it looks like I’m about the tenth person to finish. I love reaching goals! I think I even get a free Y towel.
