Stick to the Stairs

Hi All, Although we might not be able to feel it yet, summer is here in Vancouver. Usually it's the exercise season. This morning I took the stairs at my work in the name of getting more exercise. There's a little silly story in it. Starting from the ground floor, I was slowly making my way up passed 6th floor. It was then I heard the door open and a pretty blond girl emerged. She was half a staircase behind me. Thus despite my fatigue condition, I did not slow the pace, thinking her destination is the 7th floor. When we passed the 7th floor, my forehead had a bit of sweat and my body in need of a slower pace. Finally she went inside to 8th floor, and I thought to myself I can rest for a bit. Just then another pretty curly hair girl came out from the 9th. Now I would not give up looking tough in front of pretty girls, would I? In conclusion, I did not slow down until I passed 11th floor, and by that time, I only have one more floor to go to my destination. Stupid pride. You can all laugh at me now. :)
