I did a search on google to find a video of last year's "Tackle the Tower" Stairclimb. Perhaps, that was a bad idea as this is what I found.

I will report back tomorrow after I climb 646 steps. I believe the distance is close to 1 mile. Now I can run a mile no problem but add in steps and I don't know if I should be excited or terrfied. Wish me luck!!
Keep running, you're simply the best, and you inspire me!!
