This past Sunday I tackled and conquered another challenge... The Fight For Air Climb for the American Lung Association. It was a great experience and I can't wait for next year!
Kerri Bishop, Megan Allen, and myself scaled up 66 quad-exploding, lung-burning floors divided among three buildings (The Hub Tower, The EMC building, and Downtown Marriott). Sure I can run miles and miles, but hiking up stairs is different. My legs aren't used to that type of a workout. I was pleasantly surprised that my body didn't disappoint. Next year's goal is to beat my time for all three buildings.
I love that two of my closest friends are willing to accept whatever crazy physical challenge crosses my brain. This one was actually Kerri's idea. When we had the choice of doing one building or all three, we HAD to do all three. If you want bragging rights, you gotta go all the way.
So what's next on our list of challenges? The Iowa Sport's Foundation Mud Run, Warrior Dash, RAGBRAI, and anything else that seems a little out of our comfort zone. Since we did the mud run last year, our challenge is to get as muddy as possible. We shouldn't be recognizable by the end.
