Today I climbed 600 stairs of the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt Lake City to support the American Lung Association. I was sponsored by my husband's company along with him and a few of his coworkers. Here are a few pics of the event. It was great fun and I was proud to complete the challenge with a time of 5min 52sec.

Not even a couple of years ago I couldn't climb one flight of stairs without getting winded.

    That's fantastic. Congratulations. Stairs are KILLER in general (we have them in our house) and I can't imagine 600 stairs!
