And then, as you can imagine with a bunch of dudes, some folks were running, so everyone was running, or you'd get to a floor and say "I feel pretty good, should we go another few floors" to which the next guy would respond "hell, this is easy" and we'd feed off of each other. One day that went on until we all ran from 0 up to the top of the stairs at the door to the roof. The trip back down from 35 to 11 was rough. You'd never think that going down would be so hard...

Yeah, going down is a bicth. When I moved to my town 26 years ago I started running the stairs at a 4 story parking garage downtown. Run up and take the elevator down. Maybe 5 or 6 climbs at a time almist every day. It was perfect, catch my breath and drain the lactic acid from the legs on the elevator ride down. Did this for a month before maintainance caught on and booted me
