While I was in the Outer Banks, I did my best to try to get as much excerise as possible. Lying on the beach and eating comfort food didn't really go with my "plan", but I wanted to go with the flow. I did have the opportunity to explore and climb Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.



This baby has like 257 stairs (I asked the nice park Ranger from Boston) and then I was able to fly up the steps with only 1 or 2 short breaks to grab some breath. But it was very exciting to see my body responding in a way I'm hoping it to.

In actuality, when working out with Erika, I think I climb about 3 of these lighthouses as a warmup, but I will take the sucesses when they come!







This is what the stairs looked like from a diagram. Its a better picture than I could have taken!




When I asked Brian what he thought of the climb, he said he was winded. It put a nice perspective for me.
