Crippled. That's how I felt on the first runner... Jim K is captain of this train and his deal is we start with a walking flight and then alternate running and walking until done. Each week we add one flight and each week the first running flight just slays me. Today was no different.

Howe Street goes up (and up and up and up...), crosses a street and then goes up some more. Only this last part is steeper and each step is longer. I swear, each time I start up that last section I feel like I'm on a leash and someone is holding me back or something. It's like I'm in the Matrix only I just get to move slowly and I don't have any special powers.

RC was there again - bless his heart. Doing these solo would blow. The more the merrier I say.

Today Jim timed us and I was amazed. We were doing the running flight in one minute flat and the walking flight in just a hair under two minutes. That's just up mind you, we're not super men.
