January 16, 2011 (This is re-post from a Facebook Note.)

On my back staircase today: 108 stairs, 60 stairs, 108 stairs, 60 stairs, 180 stairs (realizations: 1. I can get that same I'm-going-to-puke feeling going up and down stairs as at Bulldog and 2. I must be more consistent with training for the Feb. 13th stair climb or I will surely collapse right in Oakbrook Terrace Tower); then 5 PUPs (with Bill the terrier watching with great concern as I flopped around), then 10 superman extensions (to REO Speedwagon's It's Time for Me to Fly -- totally cracked myself up with that one) then stretching. Goal for this week: Bulldog 3 times, stairs or wog 3 times. Go me!
