Red Burn day

It's a "red burn" day in the city of salt, so Carol and I decided to climb the stairs here at work. We did 25 flights of 37 stairs for a total of 925 in 22 1/2 minutes. That's 42 stairs/minute. I'm looking at doing the Tackle the Tower at the end of February. That's only 598 stairs. If I went at my pace from today, I would finish in 14 minutes. We weren't hurrying today. Now that I have something to reference, I'm going to see if I can really push the pace in preparation for February. I'll be doing stairs at least 1x/week between now and then.
