Stairs

I like stairs.

One can't take the stairs from the lobby in our building to the 3rd floor where I work. I could take the elevator to the 2nd and then one flight but that seems silly in the morning.

Once I'm in the building it's stairs. It's faster than waiting for any of the 6 elevators to arrive I'm up or down while coworkers are still in the lobby punching the call button.

I got stuck in the aging elevator in one of our buildings for an hour. By the time repair arrived and she got me out I found out more than I wanted to know about how well they are maintained.

Most of my coworkers are sedentary. One who's a good friend has expressed an interest in fitness. I'm very glad because I've been saddened how sedentary she'd become. We've started walking at lunch. Right now she's up to almost a block and back with a stop midway. It's scary to see that a block exhausts her.

But she's made the commitment and we're starting where she is. I've told her what I know about training, building a program. Most of that I learned here on TE.
