Due to my knee issues, forecasted very hot temps in Grand Canyon, and Jansen being home to visit, Kim & I decided to bag the R2R and hike Loafer Mtn with Jansen instead. We had done this before a few years but forgot how tough it is! Thankfully knee is doing fine.

First real run in a week. Knee felt fine but in general I felt wimpy and out of shape.

Did a bunch of repeats up/down heartbreak hill. Mix of fast walking uphill and jogging both up & down.
