Stairs.......Lots and Lots of Stairs.....

One of the things I have been doing in my preparation for the great wall is walking stairs.  I have my lovely stair buddy Noel, and we have been climbing the stairs at work.  For about 3 weeks now we have been doing this a few times per week.  Our work colleagues think we are crazy, but in our 15 minute walks I can feel my fitness levels increasing.  We are now managing to get to the top floor of our building which is 12 flights of stairs - it is still a hard slog, and I am not doing it too fast yet, but the pain in my legs from when we first started has eased.

It would be boring to show pictures of my works stair well, so here are some pictures of the great wall of china that I have taken from Google, this is my inspiration to keep training, working hard and I will conquer this in May 2016.
