Well, I did it and I am hating it. I decided since I have way too much energy to climb the stairs. HMMM, in 2 inch heels mind you. Oh yeah the first 2 flights (9th to 10th floor)up was fine and I was so glad to feel the burn in my thigh muscles. OK SHOOT ME THE NEXT TIME I DO THIS!!! I decided let's go for two more floors. NEVER AGAIN. I can't breath right now and my whole leg structure is yelling at me. They are going on strike and I doubt I will ever be able to wear heels again. Anyone want some heels?

I gave up wearing heels, underwire bras, and control top pantyhose when I was 17. I haven't missed any of them for a second.

I love heels and usually can run thru the airport in them. Underwires...well with those huge old mountains on my chest, I need some support. Hose...what are those?

Thank the good Lord above I wasn't wearing my normal 3 inch heels. Me don't feel so good.

Karrie, I know just how you feel. A couple of years ago(mind that I grew up in all small towns--no huge buildings w/o elevators)I visited my friend in Berlin for about a month. She lives in a historic apartment building on the 5th floor, and there are NO elevators. Stairs all the way baby! So, we would walk or cycle around Berlin all day long, then at night, I'd have ot go home to climbing 5 levels of stairs...and I couldn't do it, and it was embarressing, I was with these stick thin Berliners who could run up without losing a breathe, and here's this fluffy American gal who had to stop after two sets and pretend to look out the window at the city for a minute...I could only use that excuse for so long. But eventually I got used to it and when I got home I could go up any flight of stairs without stopping. It's all in getting used to it. Now, the HEELS part I don't know about, I was wearing tennis shoes the whole time. LOL
