Are those the steps up to the Cristo? We were in Coch in 2001 for the summer and we used to run up to the Cristo for training. Those were the days! Now, I run after my toddler for training. lol
We had just done a marathon and didn’t want to lose our strength for the fall season of adventure racing. However, I haven’t done a race since our son was born 3 years ago!
Julie – I am impressed. Adventure racing sounds exciting!
SSBBBFF – 8,500 feet (2,590.8 meters). You definitely feel it your first days here.
Libby – You are close… 1,400 stairs.
Alece – It is breathtaking (in more ways than one).
Danielle – No . We run at a park near my house 3 or 4 mornings a week. This is an occasional fun recreational activity.
Birgit – Thank you! I thought that these were symbolic photos. At the top of the stairs is a huge statue of Christ. The sun is like His presence. We go ‘up’ when we spend time with Him. As we are full of who He is we go ‘down’ to the people in the city and take His light to them.
Wow! I am more impressed with the thought of you running that every morning than the actual steps themselves, and let me tell you….those are impressive steps!!!!
Mo – I would be pretty impressed if I ran these every morning, too, but I only do them for recreation every once in a while and then it is only walking, not running.

Sooooo pretty. What’s your elevation? I remember the thin air in Mexico City was really hard to get used to when I was there.
Playing basketball almost killed me.
How many steps is that again?? It looks like a kagillion!!
looks well worth the sweat.
you do that every morning?
dang!
Great photos @ngie, incredible view! I really like the first photo with the sun streaming down on the steps.
Rachel – Thanks!
