Grand Canyon Double Crossing

Earlier this month, I had the amazing opportunity to go hike/run across the Grand Canyon. I have done this 2 other times but not since before we moved to Colorado and had Lauren and Logan. My wonderful friend Linda organizes this great trip every year and she invited me to go this year. At first, I though no way. I have to train with Lauren and Logan. Also, I have this nagging injury that likes to rear it's ugly head when I don't expect it. Well, with the support of Troy, I got some training in and it was soooo worth it. We hiked from the South Rim to the North Rim on one day. The next day, we hiked back. 47 miles in all! It was hot but the scenery is awesome. Thank you Linda for this wonderful experience!
