The planning stage started the night before last. Audrey wanted to take a break yesterday from showings to get a bite to eat and hang out at the beach. While we were working out the details, Andrew was making plans to do the Santa Monica stairs after work with some of his friends.
It all went off without a hitch! I was able to get all my followups for work done in the morning. Audrey and I had lunch at The Griddle and then headed for Santa Monica for a walk on the pier and sand. I was then dropped off at a Starbuck's where I got through about a third of my book before Andrew came to pick me up so we could go to the stairs.
Andrew and I did four loops down a set of stairs and up another. We estimated it to be about 50 flights. Even though I spent 30 minutes on the stair machine at the gym just a few days ago without any ill effects, my legs really felt the workout last night. They were shaking after only one loop, and my calves are quite sore this morning.
I plan to go back tomorrow, so I'll be doing some stretches on the reformer today. It's a long drive in traffic but well worth it.
The picture of my oddly shaped foot didn't make the cut?
ReplyDeleteAudrey, I didn't want to scare anyone away.
