The Fine Line Between Grit and Grace
Wednesday 8th AprHey, everyone!
I had a bit of a scare recently after twisting my knee. My first thought was immediately, "There goes the CN Tower climb." I was pretty worried that all those months of training on the stair mill were about to go down the drain.
Thankfully, it turned out to be just a minor tweak. I forced myself to take a few days off, and I’m happy that things are finally back to normal. Still, the experience got me thinking about the balance between discipline and listening to your body. We all want to push ourselves to hit those personal bests, but being too hard on yourself can sometimes set you back further than a rest day ever would.
I’m back at it now, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle those 1,776 steps. See you at the top!

Injury!
Monday 6th Apr Oh no! I think I twisted my knee! It’s a bit uncomfortable going up the stairs, but I don’t think it’s serious.But, what if this happens the day before the climb? Ugh… as if I didn’t have ENOUGH to worry about 😬

Stepping Towards the Sky
Sunday 5th AprThe countdown to the WWF CN Tower climb is officially on. I’ve been hitting the stair mill at the gym and feel positive that I will complete the task, but I’ll admit the pre-climb jitters are starting to kick in. I’m wondering if I might have been a bit ambitious with my newest goal.
I’ve set my sights on breaking the 15-minute barrier this time around. Now that the event is around the corner, that number feels a lot more daunting than it did during my first training session. Is it an impossible goal? Maybe. But even with a bit of trepidation, I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got.
Whether I hit that 14:59 or just make it to the top with a smile, I can't wait to give it my best shot.

1,776 Steps and a Racing Heart 🏙️🏃♂️
Saturday 4th AprI’ve officially set my sights on the May CN Tower climb, and I’m chasing a specific number: 14:59. My first time up the concrete stairs was 17:38—a result I was proud of—but this year, I wanted to push the limit.
Lately, though, the "limit" is pushing back. Some days, 15 minutes feels like a totally reasonable target; other days, it feels like I'm trying to outrun a freight train. Am I being overly ambitious? Maybe. But I think I’m just hitting that pre-event head game where the stairs look steeper than they actually are.
Training on the stair mill is one thing, but the energy of the event and that final push to the top is another. Whether I hit 14:59 or 16:00, the goal is to keep climbing.
Has anyone else ever set a goal that totally spooked them? How did you handle the mid-training jitters?

Storming the Tower - Take 2! 🧗♂️
Friday 3rd AprSo, I’m officially taking the WWF-Canada CN Tower Climb again!
Last year was my first time ever attempting those 1,776 steps. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I managed to hit the top in 17 minutes and 38 seconds. Since I was a total rookie, that became my official benchmark.
This year, I want to do better. I’ve set my sights on a major milestone: breaking the 15-minute mark. ⏱️
Shaving over two and a half minutes off my time feels like a tall order (yeah, that's a pun), but I’m ready for the challenge and I want to push my limits for a good cause.
I’ll see you at the top! 🗼✨
