Have you ever heard of a tower climb? We have a few here in Charlotte. One is the “Race the Top,†which is a 50-story, 672 vertical feet, 1,194 step race to the top of the Duke Energy Building.
Past winners of the race have completed the climb in just over 7 minutes! Crazy, huh? The average is closer to about 20 minutes.
I’ve been thinking about the tower climb a lot because I’ve recently kind of feel in love with the stairclimber at the gym. As part of my Commitment goals, I’m trying to do different types of workouts so I don’t get bored and fall back off the wagon. In addition to stairclimbing, I’ve picked up the rower last night – it was fun.
Hell, maybe I’ll find myself in a Zumba class soon! I’ve always been nervous to take a dance class, but I think I need to keep challenging myself to do new stuff. It’s good for the body and mind.

Thought of the Day:
From Operation Beautiful –
you MUST try Zumba! If it’s an instructor with good energy it’s so much fun! and even if you feel like you look silly, people are too busy looking at themselves in the mirror trying to get the steps right to look at you.
