about 5 miles, about 1300 stairs

The weather is beautiful today. At this moment it's only 82 with 34% humidity. At 7 this morning it was gorgeous.

We did 2 miles out Broadway, back Delaware, down 4th to New to Campus Square. We figured the stair climb on campus would be about a mile, and then by the time we got back to my place another mile.

Wrong.

We did about half the campus and covered at least two miles up and down the stairs. Bonnie was doing a rough count and came in at about 1268. About 80% we figured were up.

We climbed up and up and up and up and then down and back up again. I found new dorms that I didn't know existed.

On our travels we passed the media center for the Eagles training camp. We could not do the old "there's the action news van again" because it wasn't there. Must have been at Musikfest. Everyone was loading up for the day.

We also pasted huge amounts of fungus that looked like brains. Appropriate, I guess for a university. I refrained from doing the girl scout fungus amon'gus cheer.

This little moth was on the
stairs at Zoellner. The 1001st step.

So we decide to head for home and I apparently made a wrong turn. We got to Montclair avenue but there was no exit from campus. We would have had to bush whack. I had Birks on (no sneakers with my infected toe) so it wasn't practical either. Turns out the woods aren't at street level. We would have had to jump off a retaining wall.

After walking, I raced over to T'ai Chi. I was late again. This week it wasn't as hot, and I think I did better.
