* I will admit now that I am posting this and thinking about it.  I should have been incorporating more bike into these past couple weeks.  I am not one for excuses but work has taken up a big chunk of my time here lately.  Thats just a part of life I guess.  Cant wait till the summer when the days are long and I have more time to get a solid bike ride in.  Im also really torn on what I want to focus on this summer, running (which tends to hinder stair climb results come fall time) or biking (which is two fold; it takes up much more time but it produces much greater results when it comes to stair climbs come fall.)  I have a great passion for running still, I am still competitive in my road races in the 5k and 10k and even half marathon but I also have lofty goals this year for Willis Tower.  We shall see.

  1. Wow, thanks for this - will look closely at it over today. I will get my bike sent down from up north - seems worth it. You do a lot of bike work typically then - interesting. When I lived in Pennsylvania where I grew up, I'd find the nastiest hills and do them up and down time after time. I really love hills! Steps were a natural progression I guess.

    I'll do the video you requested next time I do the stairs - looks like tomorrow. There will be many people there because it's week of Chinese new year, but you'll get the idea... The steps are SO varied, it's impossible to keep any sort of rhythm going!

    Best of luck this weekend! Cheers, Vern (GoUpIt.com)
