Stairs Workout – Monk Kicks My Butt!
Posted on 12 May 2012.
Today I drove the 185 km back on the motorbike from Phuket – island paradise. At least it was once. I can’t take more than about a night of it. I felt good once I was back home. I decided to head up the mountain. I was not sure how I’d do because I did [...]

Yet Another Killer Stair Climbing Workout!
Posted on 10 May 2012.
This one was the best speedwork ever on the stairs. I felt pretty good, so I had planned sprints up the stairs. I knew I could do 12 sprints of 100 steps each – with rest after each. I didn’t know if there would be anything left after that. I did a variation of this [...]

Races Coming Up – KL Towerthon and Taipei 101 Run Up
Posted on 06 May 2012.
Two races are fast approaching and I’m considering which to do – or to do both, or neither. Ha! A bit indecisive… KL Towerthon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – has no way for me to pay to register online. All their payment methods are for Malaysia citizens I guess. If I’m going to race there [...]

I wasn’t able to make it to this Thailand stair climbing event due to some severe dizziness I had just days before the event. I decided best not to go and risk not being able to run it, and it turned out to be a good choice. I was dizzy for 4 days. I’m STILL [...]

I was all set to run today – was going to take baby to the park at the river and watch her swing and slide, then my wife would meet me there and I could do an hour of running / walking. The thunderclouds had other plans and started dumping on us heavily an hour [...]

Today I did 3 trips up the stairs in 15:20, 16:21, and 19:32. Nothing fast – just wanted to do three climbs in the heat of the day – at 2:30pm, when the sun is still hitting the steps. It was about 91 degrees F today and again – no wind at all. Man these [...]
