R3, hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim to rim, The Death March.... A hike not for the faint of heart. Four of us will start this adventure the weekend of October 2nd. 40+ miles with more than 20,000 feet of elevation change as we start at the south rim make our way to the north rim and back - all under 24 hours. After all, if we do not make it in less than 24 hours, it is just a 2 day hike in the Grand Canyon.

Epiphany for a blister free foot
So, yesterday during my 5 mile training run, I had an epiphany!! Last time I hiked the Canyon, I had blisters as big as quarters on my toes - nasty, hurtful, fun-hating blisters. What if these next few weeks of training, I switch shoes every day or so. Each shoe rubs and wears differently, making my feet tougher more durable and potentially blister free. Hmmmm, I'm going to give it a shot. Anything is better than quarter sized blisters!!!
