How to Kill Your Calves

I thought it might be fun to see what it's like to walk down 24 flights of stairs yesterday.  The elevators take forever in the building I'm in....I was on the 28 floor and wanted to go to the 4th floor for a treat.....so I took the stairs. 
Going up stairs I can not make it past 4 flights without wanting to pass out in my own pool of sweat.  But how hard can going down stairs be?  As it turns out....not too hard.  Actually, I flew down the stairs....I think I might have even beat the elevator I would have waited for.  Once I got to the 4th floor I decided against the treat and got an expresso instead.

The pain actually sets in the NEXT DAY.  I jumped out of bed this morning and had to sit back down....my calves were so tight and sore.  But I didn't complain....I just thought about what a great little workout for my legs that was.....so I took the stairs again today.  I was slower today since I immediately felt the burn in me calves and quads (front thighs).....then I went to Candy Land.  Bad Girl!
