Exercise of a different sort

Recently I moved from HRH’s Schaumburg office to the Lombard office.  In Schaumburg, there was a gym and showers and I could go for lunch-time runs.  Lombard doesn’t have that, but it does have an open stairwell and 9 flights of stairs.  So when I can, I try to get in a few flights for exercise.

I just completed 18 flights and feel it in my legs.  Good stuff and it will help to get me ready to run the Wild West Relay in Colorado in a few months.  (Not looking forward to the hills)

BTW - I did some interval training yesterday and I think I’ll try to continue that at least once a week.  I ran 5 repeats of 2 minutes running and 1 minute walking. My pace while running was 7:15, 7:00, 6:15, 6:30 and 6:30 in that order. (Min per mile)  Not bad after a slow start.  That’s one way to get in some speed work.  I then cooled down by jogging about 2 miles back home.  All around about 4 miles on the road.  Felt good, but I was tired after.
