"A Habit Cannot Be Tossed Out the Window; It Must Be Coaxed Up the Stairs a Step at a Time.”

-- Mark Twain (except that he was coaxing "down" the stairs).

Tonight, since we didn't have our usual workout at Foothill College, we tackled the Communications Hill staircase once again. This time we went up and down three times, some of the steps done sideways.

Old habits do die hard, however, and I take Twain's point. I'd still rather be doing anything than walking up these stairs. But I like the effect that doing this is beginning to have on my body.
