I received the following email this morning from our intrepid friend Mark (pictured above on a recent mountaineering expedition in China):
Well, I got myself into a pickle and need some help. I applied to race up the Empire State Building in the Empire State Building Run-Up
. I received a rejection letter before I even started training. I ran a stairs workout that day (35 flights repeated 5 times) to see if I could do it. I almost didn’t make it. I gave up hope and stopped training. Yesterday, I received a new letter rejecting my rejection letter. I’m back in the race, but with little or no training under my belt. I’m running scared and the race is next Tuesday, February 5.
Does anyone live or know people that live in tall buildings? Or maybe you’ve befriended a kind doorperson who will let me run in their building? I’m looking for something in the range of 30 - 45 flights. The higher the better.
I will repay you in barbecue.
Thanks,
Mark
Can anyone help Mark? Leave a note in the comments or drop me an email.
