The stair climb....
We had all the ingredients... 4 runners (Richard, Adam, Paul and myself) and three cheerleaders (Lauren, Eileen and Lester). The weather sucked, but everyone seemed to make it there. Start times were posted and the order was deteremined. Adam first, Richard, Paul and me last 30 seconds would separate everyone.
Adam bolted up the stairs (19 floors) and clocked a very respectable 3:24, Richard posted 3:42 also very respectable. Paul and I tied at 6:02. For the record, the fastest person did it in 1:24.
When the results were announced, turns out that Paul came in 2nd in his age group, he got a ribbon for his feat!. The group came in first in fund raising with an estamated total of $5,000 and Richard came in first for the highest fundraising done by an individual.
Not only was it a lot of fun, but we raised some serious money for the cause... thank you everyone!!

Mima, I want to thank you again for allowing me to this for you, I had a blast, even though the "18" year old Adam beat me. Adam, how are those legs today?
Paul, congrats on 2nd place in your age group. Rumor has it they want you to join the stair climb circut.
To the cheering section, THANK YOU so much for making the trip in that horrible weather, very much appreciated.
Now, lets focus our positive thoughts to March 28th.
Hi Mima,Sounds like you guys kicked butt! Good job to Paul-hope we all can do as well when we reach his "age".Sam has asked if he can do it next year if you are participating. Jen
