Monday – Meet Me at the (Stair)well

Candice always takes the lead when we "do the stairs" twice a day at the office. She's the youngest of the 4 of us, a former cheerleader in her late 20s who cheers those of us who are older and slower on. Denise, the oldest in our group and in her late 40s, is always second. The oldest and the youngest also happen to be the thinnest, so they can have the lead positions. I just jointed the Sisterhood of the Western Stairwell last week, two weeks behind the others. I'm in 3rd position. Yvonne is my age and the one who struggles with her weight the most. She brings up the rear.
The building has 12 stories and we all work on the 8th floor. We go up 5 flights to the door that opens to the roof, where Candice, Jan, and I stand and wait for Yvonne. Each of us keeps a pair of practical shoes under her desk for this purpose, because all of us agree that walking the stairs in high heals just isn't happening. Must look a sight in our business clothes and sports shoes, two of us white and two of us black, two of us thin and two us carrying some extra baggage.
( Who needs ankle weights when you've got thighs like this? )
