The scene: WLKF. The personages: One with an injured shoulder, one feeling ill. The story: I ran conditioning again.
And ran is the right word. With the shoulder still fending me off with an icepick like I was some unwashed sock monster, it had to be another leg workout. The bad news was that the stairs are permanantly gone from the nearby Caltrain station. The good news is they've been replaced.
A new tunnel going underneath the tracks has, on each side, a ramp and a set of stairs. The stairs aren't nearly as steep as the old stairs (in fact they're a bit disturbing with a very low rise to run) but the ramp is long with a nice switchback and running up it can add a surprising (to many) amount of effort. Plus with the ramp/stair combo (which forms an H pattern if viewed overhead) there was a plethora of routes/ways to run about. Only problem was some people got confused/lost as to which way to run. Next time, I'll have to spend more time explaining the drill beforehand, so we can get back into the single-leg hops, high steps, etc.
QotD: "Share your bandwidth!" (A poster for Linksys wireless routers at Fry's -- given the unintentional sharing by most wireless users, I'm not so sure that's the greatest marketing slogan.)
