A little amazed with myself! (NSV)

I live on the 12th floor of a 12-story building. Taking the stairs is not generally something I even consider lol, but in the past, the (very) few times I have tried, I have had to rest every 2-3 floors, with the rests getting progressively longer each time, and by the end I felt like I was going to keel over and die.
Well, last night, after a nice walk with my son, I decided what the heck, let me try these stairs. I made it 8 1/2 floors WITHOUT even needing a rest!!!! And I took a 20-second rest (I counted it out) and went up the entire rest of the way, and I felt like I could have done more!! OK, so I wasn't RUNNING up them (yet!), but I wasn't going slowly, either, just a normal walking pace.
I am literally amazed at my progress. I am not sure that anything else so far has shown me exactly how far I have come...

That's incredible. You're going to kick *kitten* during a power outage.
I remember I was at a convention and the entire hotel got evacuated. Obviously the only way to get back to our rooms was by taking the stairs. I went up 12 flights with no problem because of all the cardio I do. Some people looked like they were going to pass out on the fifth floor.0
