Bringing the grand total to: 13 flights of stairs. We'll count it as my morning workout. (If only it lasted more than 3 or 4 minutes, it might make more of a difference...) I still feel powerful taking the stairs, striding past all the people waiting in line to cram onto the escalator. Yeah!

speaking of physical activity... i was wondering if you want to run a 1/2 marathon with me... maybe the boston half may 30 or the brooklyn half (TBA) ??? i would love somebody to run with.. it will keep me motivated.. a couple other girls might do it to! let me know!!!!
Holy cow! Good for you!! I never did that many subway stairs if I could avoid it, especially on the way to work! I did once do a station with about that many stairs with a stroller (escalators broken!) but that was definitely not by choice ha!
Stairs are a doozy. That make you super tired and are a great workout. Good for you!!
AHHH! That's a lot of stairs! That's my worst nightmare with the stroller.
Go Angie!
whoa. way to go!!! i'm very impressed. that is a TON of stairs. sadly, i'd be the one waiting in line at the escalator.
Got to love the stairs. After all they have made many a piece of fittness equipment to try and copy them, and yet, the actual stairs themselves always work you harder. You Go Girl!! Every step counts towards a healthy heart and strong legs.
I love this subway station. It's always bizarre to see how deep underground this one is. Good workout indeed.
Ditto on Sharla's comment--ALL OF IT! Your heart and lungs are gonna thank you for a very long time. (Another reason not to lug your big-n-fancy camera with you to work, right?!?) I am very impressed!
Fyi, if you and Klane ever end up living in Europe (either through his work or once you make it as a superstar photographer), you will be thankful for all this subway "stair experience"--trust me! For instance in London, you have to schlep all your luggage up and down the Tube stairs because there are few, if any, elevators or escalators at most stations. (In other words, take a cab from airport to hotel and back!) Same is true for many other European cities.
Way to go, Angie! I took the stairs most of the time, but I think I'd surely have passed on 13 flights. I'd definitely be one of the lazy people in that line waiting for the escalator.
