Does this sound like a typical runner's answer?
At my workplace, my office is on the second floor. Running up the stairs, I meet a co-worker at the top, who asks: "Didn't you already run this morning?"
My answer: "Yes, but why waste a perfectly good flight of stairs?"

    Great response to your co-worker. I guess people don't understand that running/exercising is an all day thing.....from walking up steps, parking the car at the far end of the parking lot and walking etc.

    Anne, you are welcome to use it any time! It was out of my mouth before I could think about it. Afterwards, I thought "Did that sound like a totally hooked runner, or what?"

    It just dawned on me how few stairs I deal with on an average day. But I do take advantage of that mile between my house and the train station.

    That's a great line. I don't hear as much complaining about stairs as I do for parking farther away instead of having to fight for a closer spot.
