Pittsburgh steps -150 steps |
Take our trials one step at a time.
Top Cascade Mt, NY 2012 |
Two years ago, my son
and I climbed Cascade Mt one of the 46 highest peaks(4098 ft) in the Adirondacks
in Lake Placid. Last year we navigated the steps and streets in San Francisco but I have never ventured
on the Pittsburgh City Steps. Everything I Need to Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book suggests that we "exercise every day". Therefore, I am on a new mission to tackle the Pittsburgh city steps and maybe take part
in the Fineview Step-A-Thon, which is 5 mile run/walk that explores 14 of Pittsburgh's city steps on
October 18th.
Reflection
I almost died but loved climbing in Lake Placid and I really enjoyed hiking the
streets of San Francisco so why not take this step challenge when it was suggested by a friend at the cousin's picnic this holiday weekend?
.
However, I want to live through this challenge, so I better start to train by climbing some of the Pittsburgh city steps. My cousin found the longest steps in Pittsburgh off of Howard street (371 steps) and some others. Since he is an engineer, he figured out the stats from today. We walked 875 steps with elevation of 775 feet, walking a distance of 1.1 miles.

Spiritual Reflection
The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will not fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand (Psalms 37:23-24)
Seek God's advice before you step out and he will guide you to safety.
