Those that know me know that I am not in the greatest of physical shape. My fitness is actually improving as I get older, and I feel like I am in better shape today than I was even a year ago, but I don't do any sort of regular physical exercise.

So it came as a great shock to me when I decided to sign up for the bi-annual World Wildlife Fund CN Tower climb http://www.wwf.ca/cntower . It also came as a great shock to my wife who I signed up to do the climb with me.

Tomorrow's the big day. I should be able to scale the 1776 steps of the tower in 30-40 minutes. My time really isn't important to me, I just want to make it to the top without dying. But it should be fun, and if I complete this I will feel a huge sense of accomplishment. I will feel like the guy who climbed Everest, even though climbing the CN Tower takes 30 minutes and climbing Everest takes a week.

Wish me luck.
