At work today, I launched our second "Fun with Stairs" week. We have teams named for fish, and we count how many flights of stairs we climb in a week. There's a framed photo of Asian climbing fish for the winning team to display until the next time.
I was a bit surprised the first time at the enthusiasm for the friendly contest. I intended it to be just for the three teams in my division, but word got out and two other groups joined in. More of the same this time.
I take this as a sign that activity and comradery are a welcome relief from sitting in a cubicle all day thinking about stuff. I have no doubt that the five minutes spent to climb the stairs from bottom to top is more than made up for by the mind clearing and energizing effects of exercise. So this week we'll lighten up a little and have some fun with stairs.
