Took the stairs instead of the elevator
today. I wasn't planning on it, especially because I work on the fourth floor and I was carrying my laptop. There was a crowd around the elevator and I didn't to have to make small talk. Anyways, I made it up allright, but I did feel a burn on those last couple of steps. Maybe I'll take them down on the way to lunch.

Good for you.
I rarely take an elevator, as I'm too impatient to wait for it. Stairs are there and ready to go immediately.

I took the stairs to work the other day. It was 18 flights, I definitely felt the burn by the time I was at work.

When I worked on the 6th floor at Nu Skin, I took the stairs every day--even when I was 41.5 weeks pregnant.
(Even 6 flights of stairs wouldn't put me in labor.) Last edited by marsupial; 05-29-2007 at 06:25 PM. |

I have an elevator rule here at work: I won't step onto one if I don't think that I could spend an hour trapped inside with the people who currently are occupying it. Our elevators like to break down here and spending an hour trapped inside isn't all that unlikely. This rule has made for a lot of elevator free days for me.
