Christmas comes early

It's that time of year again, you know it's here once you see Christmas decorations being put up at the Malls and you start getting brochures for all sorts of promotions in the mail both surface and electronic :) It'll be a quiet event this year for the family, maybe just a small scale down dinner as it's still the mourning phase for my father-in-law. Minimal Chirstmas Shopping to do ha ha ... I'm currently also preparing for this weekends Vertical Marathon up Swissotel, 73 floors of it. I injured my foot the other day but I think it's recovered sufficiently for me to do some stair climbing. I figured the last timing I toold was like 6 minutes for about 30 floors, the time incidentally is what the top runners would be needing to scale the entire 73 floors and I am only half way up !! I think I should be able to make it up there within 20 minutes .... I hope ..... target time for me. I've been askign the missus if she wanted to join me but she keeps saying she'll rather take the elevator up. Tried to get her to join the New Paper Big Walk but she felt it was too hot to walk around. Anyways let's see how this climb goes and hopefully I get to the top.
