Up and down
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
I climbed 175 stairs at work today; I also descended 150. Yesterday I took on 75 each way. The days prior I averaged 100 in either direction.
Each step isn’t tall, but I still cope with fatigue and achy glutes right after climbing so many in a row.
Feel the burrrrn!” my inner voice commands. “Swing those arms! Lift those legs! Go faster!”
I walk past at least three sets of elevators every day and opt for this harassment — I mean, exercise. I’ve been committed to the routine since I started my new job three weeks ago. Yet I have no less meat on my bones to show for the exertion.
