81 Steps
That is the number I counted as I walked up to the top of a production unit at work that is mothballed and shut down. It is so quiet and peaceful up there with all the motors shut down. It is an open structure so you get a nice breeze and a spectacular view.
I tried it when I was about 6 months out for the exercise and had to stop halfway up to catch my breath. I always intended to go back after losing some more weight to see if I could make it to the top w/o stopping. Well, I am working on getting the 2-3 pounds off I gained this past month so I thought it would be good exercise and to see if I could make it all the way this time.
After 5 flights of stairs my heart was pounding pretty good and I wasn't sure I would make it until I looked up and noticed I only had one more flight to go - victory in sight! I sure wasn't going to stop with only one more to go.
It felt good when I reached the top! I think I will do it again this afternoon.

Thanks! When you get to 2+ years out they don't come as often as they did early on.
And I just got back from climbing them again ! I am stuck here working long hours for the next couple of weeks with no time to exercise, so this is my substitute..... and keeps me de-stressed at the same time.
I can't afford any of this after my surgery ---- >
