Conquering Swissotel-The Stamford!

Posted by Mr.Keropok

I almost forgot this faith challenge I put for myself at the beginning of 2006 - To take on a Vertical Marathon Challenge. Until I saw the poster for this challenge at the recent Army Half Marathon did it remind me again. And I am signing up myself for this!

The highest flight of stairs that I have climbed was probably 25 storeys in my HDB block. And trust me.... climbing stairs is DEFINITELY different from running marathon! (PS: Anyone got any stair climbing tips to prep me?) What more now when I am taking on 73 storeys instead! No joke man! But I am still going ahead with it.

Why am I pushing myself to the physical limits i.e. marathon, vertical marathon.. next time triathlon? Ironman? Because I want to intentionally be a historymaker.. not for personal glory, but that my life can be an inspiration and encouragement to the youths of this generation that they too can be historymakers! Instead of just plain talking, I prefer to let my actions do the talking.. living it out loud speaks more than anything else. Honestly, I don't think I can finish climbing these 73 storeys.. its a daunting task and I think I may just give up halfway.. but that's why it's a faith challenge!

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
