| Well, the 2010 American Lung Association Fight For Air Climb is done. I now know why they call it the "Fight For Air Climb." After completing the climb of 801 Grand, already fighting a cold, I found myself coughing and having trouble breathing. I was not alone; I guess the air was a little thinner and dryer up there. On the elevator ride down I really had trouble breathing. This is a photo at home with the finisher's medal. I will try to put a better picture on when they are available. |  |
 | I completed the climb in 8:24, much better than my 10 minute goal. Though it was challenging, I highly recommend everyone take the opportunity to do a climb like this if you have the chance. It was very rewarding and a whole new experience. I also want to thank everyone who contributed; overall we raised $585 for the ALA. If you would still like to contribute you can do so until March 31 or I just may do this again next year. |

Good job, Adam! We'll be looking forward to more pictures. and what about the flip-camera video that Kim took? Anything fun to look at there?
Congratulations Adam.

Uh, am I understanding this correctly that you climbed 45 flights of stairs in just over 8 minutes, and then took the elevator down? Woudn't you rather take the elevator up and run down 45 flights? That's what I would do. just an idea for next year.
Yep! Like the Flip video said, "Good job, Adam!" Nice action shot they did of you ...
Love, Mom
Good to see the Flip in action.
Amy and Hunter
