STAIRWAY TO PAIN - RUN #2



Who's idea was this? After 5.5 hours of sleep.... the alarm started to chime. I tried to figure out a way that I could go later today but there are just too many things on the agenda. And besides, 6:40 am wasn't exactly "early to rise."
My legs felt like slush. I REALLY didn't feel like the normal route, so instead I headed to my alma-matter and prayed silently in my head for the gate to the stadium stairs to be open. My prayers were answered and Kashi and I hit the steps in sync. If I thought my legs were mush before the stairs... I was in for a big surprise. I could barely make my way down the stadium and back without feeling about 2 beats short of a heart attack and my legs crumbling below me. I did as many as I could in the short time I had this am. It was hard. It really didn't feel as good as I had hoped. And the thought of running again tomorrow makes me kinda irritated. But it must be done.
Kash had way more fun than I did.

Wow, good job doing the back to back runs(11pm, 6am). That always kills me. And you did the stadium stairs? Awesome. Keep going!
