Less than thrilled about it.
Wednesday's training for GE Tower: entered building stairwell at floor 29, went down all the stairs and exited in the first level of the basement.
Thursday's training: entered building stairwell at floor 29, climbed to floor 32, went down all the stairs and exited in the first level of the basement.
Today's planned: enter at 29, climb to 36, then down to basement.
Building is 44 stories high. If possible I intend to add 4 floors of up travel each workday. This may not work evenly on all floors as some of them are rented all by one company and thus block off access to the stairs unless you have a security card to get into that company's area, but I will manage one way or another. I do not intend to start running these until I can climb all 44 at a walk and come down all 44 + basement at a walk without stopping. I may have to be careful about that as I do not wish to damage my knees. If it turns out a fast walk to the top will do, then yay for fast walking. My athletic motto is "I have nothing to prove"; the important thing is that I finish under my own power, not that I finish at a particular time or rate. This is a new athletic activity entirely and therefore the only important part is that I can pull it off at all.
I do not intend to do it with a proton pack on, but I may add the use of my 12-pound bike chain to the regimen at some point....
