Thanksgiving climbing

Happy Turkey Day everyone!

Since today is a holiday 6 am bootcamp was changed to 8:30 am, more reasonable, but still early. 

One of the challenges of training to climb 30 flights of stairs, is finding places to actually climb stairs.  Fortunately, I live in a 6 story building which has a great stairwell for exercising (though I'm sure my neighbours think I'm crazy!).  Unfortunately, there are only 127 steps to the top, far short of the 600 steps I will be climbing on Nov 15th.  You can go up and down, but going down 127 steps is much easier than going up, so it's not the same as just climbing up 600 stairs.  Regardless it's still a good option and very convenient.  So, after an hour of bootcamp, I came home and ran the stairs 6 times in a row (6 x 127 =762 steps up).  My legs were already tired from bootcamp, so it was a challenge.  I slowed down after two or three runs, I ran to the top in 57 seconds on the first round, by the last round my time was 1:03.

I've earned my turkey dinner, that's for sure!
