Project 73: Day One
In typical blogger fashion, putting things down in writing in public is likely a good way to keep myself on the straight and narrow. In this case, keeping track of my progress at training up for the upcoming Vertical Marathon at Swissôtel The Stamford in November this year. It’s now May, and that gives me more or less five months to get my lard butt in shape, and hopefully lose a couple of kilos in the process. Also, I signed up for the Vertical Marathon the last round, but chickened out at the last minute. Ahem.
While I write this, i’m sweating a puddle in my study, having woken up at 630am this morning for day one of my ‘training’ regimen: jogging around my HDB block as a warm up, and then climbing up the 25 floors of my HDB block. Suffice to say, 25 storeys took me approximately 15 minutes to do, resting in between included.
The view from up top was spectacular in the early hours of the morning, totally worth the climb, and I would have taken a snapshot to share, but a) i didn’t bring my phone along, and b) i was already seeing a number of stars spinning around my noggin.
Now to see if I can squeeze in a trip or three to the gym during the week.
