Organization: Seattle Paranormal Club. This is the X-Files come alive locally. Whatever you believe is out there, ghosts, UFOs, parapsychology, or Bigfoot, you'll find a kindred spirit (literally) at this club.

Stair Climbing: Some of the best exercise is free (after all, how much does it cost to do a push-up?) Work out on stairs, and you'll build up endurance that can take you miles. Here are three great stair runs:
Howe Street Steps: The longest collection of steps in the city. A 400 foot gain on 300 steps - this set will definitely clean your clock. West side of Capital Hill, from Lakeview Blvd to 10th Ave East.
North End: 300 feet on 200 steps from bottom to top. It's on NE 135th between 42nd Ave NE and 40th Ave NE. Don't be surprised if you run into a fireman from the Lake City Station training here.
Pike Place Market Hillclimb. Up from the waterfront to the start of Pike Place Market with one hundred steps. Wide steps with plenty of resting places along the way.
