Another Wednesday night, another fun night of stair training with the gang!  This time the aim was to run as many three-story stair repeats in an hour as possible.  This was the best that I have ever felt running the stairs in my office building.  I was able to complete a total of 83 repeats (4.15 miles) in a time of 59:55 (average repeat was 0:43).  Also, I was completely drenched in sweat (that is, vertical climbing and the 12lbs weight vest completely drains me) and for the last 15 minutes, my sight was impaired big time due to the sweat stinging my eyes.   Consequently, I'll need to bring along a towel along for the Fight for Air Climb.  Also, my fellow stair climbers did a tremendous job of really pushing me during the last twenty minutes of this workout.  Only one month to go until it’s Stair Time!  Hopefully I can continue to make improvements and stay healthy.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, a 1:40 wall-sit, 60 (50 lbs) curls, and 20 reverse curls.

What an intense workout. I hope the sweat drenched stairs didn't cause anyone to slip. Sounds like a hazard.

Burt, I was thinking the same thing, but luckily these stairs are carpeted. As a result, hopefully they clean them, because they are really going to start to smell.

Allie, hit those stairs because it's going to be beyond brutal!

Preston, stairs are fun and a great workout!

Thanks and have a great weekend bloggers!
