Step Goal #2 - Update #2
Oct 08 2009 10:43

I'm totally kicking this goal's butt! I have done really well, and am super impressed with myself.  I've only missed my daily goal twice so far, and each time I was only short by one or two flights, so yay me!  I've even been taking the stairs carrying all my morning-time bags -- talk about breathing heavy.

Anyway, apparently I'm also getting faster.  I finished up my assignment out at the client site I had been at (a week ago Tuesday was my last day).  So since a flight at the home office is twenty-two stairs instead of twenty-four, I timed myself on the stairs here.  My time is now twenty seconds, down from thirty, a decrease more than can be explained by a two stair difference!  Again, yay me!

The last several days I've been trying to up my flight total to try to come closer to five minutes.  The official goal was ten flights and I'm sticking with that for now, but since I set the goal thinking it would be five minutes I figure I need to at least give that a try.  I'm up to thirteen so far, which ends up being something like 4.3 minutes.  I need fifteen flights to get back to the five minutes, so that's where I'm headed.

Gonna keep working!
