    SO much of running is mental, that really makes sense. I'll have to try that next time. Great idea

    Hummm.. Food for thought.
    How do you find good stair sets, though? I can't even think of the last place I saw major quantities of stairs, but I figure there must be some around here somewhere. I would love to do stair sets (love being a relative term).

    High buildings (easier if you work in them!), pedestrian overpasses, and any friend's house with more than one flight of stairs in a row!

    Our local university has a nice football stadium but dropped its football program. They allow use of the stadium for stair climbing workouts.

    If you have anything along those lines nearby, it could be worth checking out.
