Today, I climbed a building.  Well, up the stairs   It was part of The Big Climb, a charity event benefiting leukemia research.  It was a 69-story climb that equates to 788 vertical feet and 1,311 steps.  It took me ~16 minutes to do the whole thing.  Thank goodness I’ve been working out on the stair master a lot recently, or I’m sure it would have taken a lot longer.  I was definitely a bit tired when I reached the top, though :) 

Since this was a charity event, they created a cool little donation website for me: http://www.active.com/donate/2007bigclimb/BBetz.  If you’d like to donate even a few dollars to this cause, feel free to hop over to that site.
