Tonight my Dad and I tackled the stairs in the drizzling rain and dark skies.  It surprised me when he asked me at 8:30pm, "So, Sara, want to do the stairs a couple of times tonight?"  I hesitated, but agreed.  It was colder than the last time, I was unusually stiff and my muscles felt the burn earlier than I anticipated.  All this just proves that I need to be spending a lot more time on the stairs in order to be ready to do 10,000 in one day.  We only did them twice, amounting to 2,000 steps, but even that was a stretch for me.  I'm praying that I can be more motivated to spend time on the stairs during a lazy day off.
