So I've got until March 5th to get to the point of climbing 61 floors without stopping. The MS Society fundraiser will undoubtedly have rest stops in 200 Clarendon, they've always had them in New York, but I'd like to be able to do this without losing time to a rest stop. Problem is, my building is only 34-35 floors high (-2 to 34 in one stairwell, -2 to 33 in the other, no ground floor, just -1 straight to 1). I've been going from -2 to 18 and then turning around and walking back down a bunch of floors, then climbing up again sans stopping. It's not as much effort to walk down the stairs, obviously, but at least I'm still moving...

Anyway. Today was -2 to 18, then down to 2, then back up to 28, then across to the other stairwell to take stairs from 28 up to 34. So that's 19 + 16 + 10 + 6 unless I've lost my mind. I should be able to get to the point of doing this whole building twice before the event day.

Also working on push-ups now, and squats. Today was day one of week one of the One Hundred Pushups workout; I've been practicing push-backs from the wall to get to the point where my arms have at least a bit of base to work from. Did an initial test yesterday, so today was 10 + 12 + 7 + 7 + 10 triangle pushups, or diamond pushups, or whatever you call the ones where you put your hands close together under you and touch both index fingertips and stretched-out thumbtips the whole time. Tomorrow will be... some week of the two hundred squats workout. probably week 3.

Given that I'm doing this at lunch I am making a point of washing up afterwards and using hand-sanitizer wipes. I need to find a better formula, though. These smell weird even if they do kill germs that would smell worse.

Here's hoping this keeps up. If anyone's interested in the MS Society part of this, lemme know and I'll send you a link.
