Starting to finally feel a little more normal. But still have a hacking cough.

Hiked Grand Canyon rim-to-rim north-to-south with Kim and a group of 15 others. Last few miles were brutal but the incredible views made it worth it. Hope to do the south-to-north rim hike next time.

4 miles mostly walking but enough jogs mixed in to count 1 mile of running. Pretty beat up after the GC hike.

Getting closer to fully recovered from the rim-to-rim 24 mile hike. But in general feel a bit fat and out of shape and running isn't all that fun. Hopefully with some running consistency and better eating over the next few weeks I can get back to where the daily runs feel more easy & relaxing.
