DAY: Six

TIME: 4:33

Whew! It was hotter than usual but I still had a good pace. My best time yet as a matter of fact. I think my new strategy of starting at the lower floors by taking two steps at a time is a good thing. It allows me to slow down a tad, but still keep a relatively quick pace.

I tried the skipping steps earlier and thought it was an awful idea, but recently, it’s working. I think I’ll keep doing it.

Of course, I can’t do it all the way up because it can get pretty strenuous on the thighs, but I seem to be good with it for the first 5 or 6 floors, and then using it sporadically on other floors on the way up.

I’ll try it again tomorrow and see how I do.

I was thinking earlier that I wanted to break 4:30 by the time of the pitch, but I’m going to revise that and try for 4:15. A big jump in time, I know, but it gives me something to shoot for. I may regret it, but I gotta try.

Wish me luck.
