Its been a couple of months since I've really trained up for any Trek - and looking forward, if I want to accomplish my 2008 goal of conquering Kilimanjaro, I will probably need to spend time in 2007 to at least get past some of the tougher treks in the region like Gunung Tahan.

So, I'll be training for Gunung Tahan! Make it June/July 2007 - its still quite far away, but I think it is important to start training now (and keep training as part of my regular exercise)

Of course, the best way to train for a trek is to climb stairs. I personally live in a apartment flat, and its 12 stories high, so I have set myself to do some climbing every week! Yesterday, I started off with 3 rounds - only 36 stories, and I'm dead beat! This is no good!

Progressively, I shall work towards conquering my flat at least 10 times - 120 stories!
