Hello, friends! 🌟 Welcome to my blog.  I’m excited for you to join me on my journey of preparation and adventure as I gear up for the ultimate challenge: a 26-mile rim-to-rim hike in the majestic Grand Canyon! 🏞

This isn’t just any hike—it’s a test of endurance, strength, and determination, all for a noble cause: raising funds for Ataxia research. 🚶‍♂️💪

Here, you’ll find updates on my training progress, insights into the highs and lows, and a peek into the breathtaking beauty at the canyon on the day of the hike. From the North Rim to the South Rim, every step is a story, and I can’t wait to share it with you. 🌄

Countdown to the Grand Canyon Hike: October 18, 2025! ⏳

Training Week 2

Training Week 2

Rim to Rim Training Week 2.

This week I went to the gym and got all my workouts in and also started with treadmill training. I put the treadmill on an 8% incline, at a 2.8 speed and walked for 20 minutes. I think that was too much too soon because I was hurting the rest of the week.  I had some foot issues.  The ball of my left foot, was bothering me. So, I’m going to cut it back next week. The mileage is adding up.  I did 18 total miles this week and overall I feel pretty good. I feel good with my strength training, too. Week 2 in the books. On to week 3!
