Subject: RE: stair climbingJust a funny aside...stairs are the bane of my existance!!! Even when I was in high school at the peak of my physical fitness level (club soccer, cross-country, and track! ), I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing out of breath. It's weird, but it must have something to do with the unnatural stride they cause you to have (shortening/lengthening your stride to accomodate the shape of the stairs ). Still, when I was 2 weeks away from my first tri, and ran a 7:20 pace 5K, my boyfriend totally laughed at me because I couldn't walk up 30 steps without having to take a break.
WEIRD!
But hey, every little bit helps!!! |
