Everest in May – Day 26

Men of ideas and men of action have much to learn from each other, and the truly great are men of both action and abstraction.

Jack Donovan

Action and abstraction is why I like doing these challenges. More importantly, it is why I like hosting them for others to participate in as well.

I’ve always had an imaginative mind. The ability to be creative and entertain myself is something that has come naturally to me. Not all men have the ability to be abstract in their thinking.

That’s why I like to make games of these challenges. Instead of saying, “Let’s run 5 miles.”, I like to say, “Let’s ruck 114.31 miles and climb 11,431 stairs to simulate climbing the tallest mountain in the world!” Let’s have action, and abstraction. Purpose, both physically and in spirit.

I hope this brings joy to others and provides them with a way to get moving when being stationary is easier.

Here are the numbers for Day 26:

Miles rucked On Day 26: 8.59 miles.

Miles Rucked Through 26 Days: 620.34 miles.

Steps (Stairs) Climbed on Day 26: 2,613 stairs (261.30 flights)

Steps (Stairs) Climbed Through Day 26: 81,414 stairs (8,141.40 flights)

The Daily Rankings, as I mentioned I would start sharing, are as follows:

Very low day on participation, going into a 3-day weekend. I am sure it will pick back up though.
