Almost blacked out!

At almost 61, I may be getting a bit too old for this much extreme exertion, but I do love a challenge! So this morning I attempted to hop up 142 stairs on my unicycle. It took everything I had - and then some - to make it to the 82nd stair, which is still a new personal record. But when it was over I was breathing so hard it felt like I was about to lose consciousness! Oh well, guess it ain't too bad for an old guy, haha!

Oh dear Terry, it sounds like you are pushing yourself too hard. Go careful, this may be a warning to you to ease up a bit and you have to know your limits.

Sorry if I sound like a bossy-boots!

No, you're 100% right about that. I do tend to push my limits and usually know what I'm capable of. A bit of a miscalculation on this one though.

Permission to nag you.

Stick to that as a personal record ... I'd hate to think of you passing out and bouncing all the way back down.
