Day 33 (I think): Taking the stairs

There's a small parking space near my office, where in the past you could park for no more than 30 minutes. Now there's a new system in place that allows you to prepay for an entire day.

It's way too tempting to shell out a couple of bucks and skip that half-mile, uphill walk from the lot where I usually park. But I vowed this morning to use the free lot and walk.

So there I was, trudging along, climbing staircase after staircase and trying to catch my breath. Clearly, I need to be climbing more steps.

The last time I felt this winded after walking uphill to my office, my doctor sent me to a cardiologist for a stress test. His conclusion? That I was out of shape.

Gee, thanks.
