36 floors, 25 of them while walking up 6 floors of the pictured garage 5 times (iPhone counts them as 25 floors based upon the vertical distance climbed).

Impressive, as always, svgeeks!

Hey svgeeks . Haven't heard from you in awhile and missing your updates and fantastic pictures that remind me it's not winter everywhere. How is that walking going?

[svgeeks in reply to runswithdogs]

Sorry runswithdogs. I haven’t forgotten my friends in the community. I have been walking and climbing but have not posted. I take my wife to our local hospital for treatment every day. While she is inside, I climb 15 flights of stairs. On Friday, a patient on a different floor noticed me walking furiously by every few minutes, figured out what I was up to and gave me a thumbs up sign. I look forward to her treatment ending on April 13 and plan to mark it with a great lunch, and later, a dinner with our sons.

No need to apologize, just wanted to check in and see how things were going. Hope things for your wife are going okay and I'm glad you're getting some walks in where you can fit them in (and inspiring patients while you are at it). Best in health to your family.

Very thoughtful of you, runswithdogs. I appreciate and value your kindness.

Hi svgeeks - so sorry to hear your wife's not well. Here's hoping she's feeling better soon! I'm glad you're fitting in some walks as the physical exercise will help you to deal with the stress you must be experiencing. You must be really looking forward to the 13th when you and Mrs svgeeks can celebrate better times with your family. All best wishes to you both!

Hi kay50, you are so kind as always. We have been dealing with serious illnesses for some time. She won’t get done on the 13th because the doctors stopped the radiation on Wednesday to give her more time to recover. It sounds depressing but we are managing to lead reasonably normal lives without dwelling too much on the negatives. The risks are high but care has been excellent. Thank you.
