I am horribly out of shape. The out of service escalator at the subway station yesterday nearly killed me.

So I had to walk up it. Now admittedly, this subway station is very deep -- 80 feet below ground, so probably 8 stories? Still, as I walking up the last 10% of the escalator, my legs were burning, I was beginning to feel light-headed and I thought I might have to stop.
For about 5 minutes afterwards while walking at street level, there was a pounding pain in my chest and back (more in my back than my chest).
ugh.
