Default Chicagoans: anyone else hustling the hancock on feb. 23?

If you wanted to do it but forgot to register, the Hancock Observatory is auctioning 6 slots. Proceeds go to the American Lung Association.

(For those who don't know what I'm talking about: it's a walk up the stairs of the John Hancock Building - 95 floors - with proceeds going to the ALA. Very cool event!)<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=2157529874&amp;rd= 1.">eBay hustle up the hancock auction</a></li></ul>

Default OK...you've convinced me, I have a bid in...

I'll have to see how high it goes..I actually thought about doing this when it first was announced, but got wrapped up in other stuff...just ran a marathon 2 weeks ago, so I should be able to make it up without too much problem...I hope.

Default I think it's easier than a marathon...

the first year I participated, I did not train at all and did it in 16:27 minutes. This year, I have a couple more pounds to lift, so I'm counting on 18 minutes -ish.
Maybe next year we can form a team on the forum?

If I am successful in a bid, I'll follow-up prior to the climb - Cheers!

Default $65 is the minimum pledge, so that's what you'd pay if you registered early anyway.

aw c'mon, it's for a good cause...
Next year it would be really cool to put a TTeam together.
