I've run rim2rim at 137 lbs. plus a 7 lb. pack (24 miles in 9:17 taking pics and detours along the way) and I can't imagine going into the canyon over the 200 lb. limit for riding a mule. I'd be on blood pressure medication for sure. Getting to the river and back in one day (if indeed you took South Kaibab down to the Colorado) is a decent effort especially for someone at your weight.

It just goes to show that weight is by far not the only indicator of health. Anybody who hikes to the bottom and back in one day is healthy no matter what the scale says. Great Story!
