Stair climb complete!

I did it!  This morning I successfully climbed the stairs of the CN Tower, clocking a very respectable time of 27 minutes, 12 seconds.  Let me just say, it was exhausting.  I'm still pretty tired, 3 1/2 hours after completing the climb, but I feel so good.  I'm proud of myself for doing it and my goal is to make this a yearly event and to work on lowering my time.

But the most important thing about the climb was all the money that was raised for United Way.  It felt so good to contribute to that and to see so many other climbers out today, contributing their energy and fundraising efforts. 

What a great day!

CN Tower Stair Climb for United Way

I've wanted to do the CN Tower stair climb for awhile now but I never have, mostly out of laziness.  So this year, I finally signed up and joined the corporate team at work.  On October 20, I will be climbing the 1,776 stairs of the CN Tower to raise money for United Way. 

If you're interested in sponsoring me, you can go here and donate.  But I know people have to be careful with their money and may already have charities they support, so only donate if you want.  I'm also accepting moral support and any training tips you might have - it's going to be a long climb!

I'm doing my first training session today by climbing the stairwell in my condo a few times.  I'll let you know tomorrow if I can walk.
