As I got closer to the CN tower yesterday morning I met more and more people in red T-shirts. They had all gone up the CN tower for the United Way campaign using the stairs. Their sweaty T-shirts and exhausted faces really worried me, because I was on my way to do the same thing.
Frankly speaking, my bottom is a bit sore today. I am not totally out of shape, but I have never climbed that many steps at once as I did yesterday. After 23 minutes and 55 seconds sweating in the staircases of CN tower I finally reached the top. The average time is about 30 minutes, so I felt quite good about my accomplishment. After enjoying the view for a while the elevator took me down in two minutes. When I got outside the tower my eyes followed the grey pedestal all the way up to the white bulb where I just came from, and I could not believe that I walked all the way up there!
I would like to thank all of you who contributed to this event by donating money! My donations summed up to $80, and I definitely think it was worth climbing for : )
