Empire State Building Stair Climb

I've been working to vary my fitness this year. I've added more yoga and flexibility classes and also started to work on the stair climber a bit. I've been trying to get 10-12 minutes on the evil machine, which results in 800-900 steps. And I need to relate that to something tangible. How high is 800 steps? So I googled how many stairs are in the Empire State Building, and found out the answer is 1576. I tucked this fact in the back of my head, maybe to be used on Jeopardy some day. And then on 2/3/2017 I got on the stair climber again.

After 15 minutes I was right around 1100 steps. And what the heck - I went for it. It took 21:56 to go 1603 steps - just beyond the top of the Empire State Building! Sweet. Check that off the list of things to not do again.

Finished!
