Stair Tales

This has been a busy week.  It seemed to be composed mainly of running up stairs, running up hills and walking up hills!  Time is pressing and this week I am racking the stairs up to 1200.  I have also started mixing in some press ups and upper body strengthening as it is quite useful as I hold onto the bannisters on either side of the staircase to get up.

I have also been busy trying to get donations to the MMRF as I am committed to raising 2500 USD for them.  People have been really generous thus far, and the amount raised stands at 915 USD.  Also a big thank you to Christina from lazybonesrunning.blogspot.com, for her generous donation to my climb.  So if you are feeling the love, please visit my site at http://www.active.com/donate/2011MMRFRunUp/RUNUPNShunmu and make a donation.  My aim is to reach the fundraising goal by Christmas.  Talking of goals, I signed up for the Race Up Boston Place and registered as an....Elite!  The cut off time is 9:54 (my old time was 10:29), and that gives me a good goal to work towards - after all, the stairs are half those of the Empire State Building.
Nothing much else, except my Finnish Marimekko dress arrived, and I am very pleased with it.  I adore their fabrics, and the dress looks very sixties - a look that I am rather partial to!
