6:45 am - smoothie

10:00 am - big handful of almonds

No matter how you slice it, these stairs are hard.  Today I met Jim K and it's _so_ nice to have company let me tell you... :) Jim was there for his first day so did five flights.  I've been doing these for three weeks already and so did three more.

ASIDE - I think I'm doing one flight (down and up) in just under four minutes or so...  I got in eight flights today; four walking and four running.

But, when I have done them previously I would just walk up two at a time; not so with Jim...  He alternates walking with running.  Man, running that second flight was KILLER.  Right away I was gasping for breath.  Somehow I managed to finish those extra flights after he left.
