Being adventurous = being stupid

Today I had to take something up to the next floor while at work. Instead of just taking the elevator (which taking an elevator up one floor is a pet peeve), I decided that I could handle going up one flight of stairs. In reality, I could go up the stairs, but at what expense. I went up them slowly and awkwardly, and afterwards my knee didn't feel the same for an hour or so. Thus, the lesson for today is wait until I'm released from the doctor before attempting any more stairs.

As sort of a funny twist, I get new exercises everyday at therapy. Today's new exercise was stepping up on a step and back down again. While this does mimick the movement of going up stairs, the step I used was only four inches tall (half of what I went up already today). My how interesting the universe is.

As for tomorrow, GO VOLS!!! The whole season could be salvaged if we can win tomorrow.

i despise it when people take the elevator up or down one floor...some will literally wait as long as it takes for the elevator to show up, which is usually more time than it would have taken to use the stairs

Let it be a lesson to ya! This situation is one of the only ones for taking the electric ride upstairs!

I know what you mean about the stairs. It really gets to me when people can be that lazy. My first year at UAH, the elevators were always busy; I walked up the five flights of stairs at least twice a day. Sometimes, I would even carry my bike up the stairs. Those of you who have seen my bike know that it was no picnic. I'm glad you're improving, bro. I'll be the first one to challenge you to some GOTCHA.
