And the records keep breaking!

It's late in the evening, so mi seddia to type out a long post.  Just wanted to say that my current plank record to beat is now 6:10!  Trainer says that's the longest time he's seen a female do a plank!  Aww yeah!

Also, I did a simulated stair climb in 15:50, which is also a record!  I had to pause more than a few times, but I am keeping them under 30 seconds.  If I can translate that to the actual climb, I should make it under 20 minutes.  Here's hoping!

Also, Trainer has told me to take this week off intense cardio and weight training.  I'll say now that I'm not liking it, but I think that I'll go into it more when the week is over and I have more time.

Broken records everywhere!

Last night I put another 10 seconds onto my plank time, so now my longest plank is 5:10!  Soon I'll be able to replicate that BOSU plank after all!

More importantly, on Tuesday I hopped back on the stair-climber to see how quickly I could do 144 floors, since I am looking to sign back up for the CN Tower stair climb this year.  This time I did it in 18:23, which is awesome, if you don't take into account the fact that I stopped so often.  The machine pauses the time when you take a rest, so I am sure it was over twenty minutes total, but I AM glad to say that my stoppage  time was pretty short, I had more energy and actually ran up the steps quite a bit, and I felt terrific after. 

Trainer has always maintained that it's harder to climb the stair climber than the actual stairs, and I agree with him.  Plus, I believe there were maybe ten steps to a floor at the Tower compared to the fifteen on the machine, so I'm climbing a Tower and a half!  He's now saying he thinks I can do it under fifteen minutes, but I'll be glad if I can get it closer to twenty than I did last year.

So the training begins!
