Okay, I signed up for the International Taipei 101 Climbathon. I’m hoping to climb Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world, on May 5th. It’s for charity. www.internationalclimbathon.com/ It’s 91 floors and 508 meters tall. There’s supposed to be a party afterwards. It should be on www.ICRT.com.tw who is a sponsor. English radio in Taiwan. I really want to do this. I haven’t tried anything like this before and I’m not good with stairs. I went on a hike last weekend which was a 60 degree grade and said it was 405 meters. I didn’t have a problem with that, I just didn’t run it. So hopefully it will be fine. There are two stopping points if you can’t make it on the 35th and 59th floor. I guess I better switch to the stair climber at the gym for the next couple of weeks.

Anyone want to join me, give me a holler! 

Okay, I did 45min on elliptical yesterday. Burned 1,000 calories according to the machine. Still haven’t lost any weight. I’m around 128kg, goes up and down 1kg. I think I get frustrated from starving myself and exercising and then eat a little extra at night. I know I’m not getting many calories, but at my age, I guess the metabolism is so slow, it doesn’t take much to cut the losses.
