Humbling stair workout

Got an invite to go run stairs at a building downtown. The building is 16 stories tall (so 15 flights of stairs).

Ryan and I made 4 ascents and rode the elevator for the descents.

I must say that it was one of the most humbling workouts I have done in quite some time. I ran the entire first set, most of the second, part of the third and very little of the forth. My lungs were really burning and my legs were completely stressed.

I needed that experience though. It brought me back down to earth a little. My expectations for the Trek up the Tower were getting a little lofty but this experience will help me keep that in check.

Cooled down on exercise bike for 15 minutes.

Wednesday: stairs (4x15 flights). exercise bike 15 minutes.
