Not enough stairs in Toronto?

Wow, I did not realize how long it had been since I updated this.  And I am not going to lie: I have not been doing a whole lot of running.  I did do a trail run in May, which was a 25k at Sulphur Springs, near Hamilton, Ontario.  It was lovely, apart from the COMPLETELY INSANE hills.  One of which was immediately before the finish line.  That you had to go up twice.  But it was a lovely day and I very much enjoyed the experience, apart from maybe some of those nutty hills.

Anyway, I am currently in Toronto, Ontario (aka 'The T Dot') and was reminded of a classic Toronto song from my teenaged years entitled 'I Don't Want To Go To Toronto.'  Now, the vast majority of this song is completely true (okay, maybe not.  But it is hard to find good bagels and I feel pretty certain that there is a tax on wicker goods).  Except for the part about the stairs.  Because lemme tell you, Toronto has stairs.  I found a set of them this morning on my run.  It was a hill so hilly that it needed stairs to ascend it:

These are the Baldwin Steps, located at Spadina and Davenport.  They are as evil as they look, but today I found the whole experience invigorating.  And kind of fun.  I am hoping that this is a sign that my running groove is gradually returning.
