BFR and one week to go

No exercise today.  My taper (Big Fat Rest as Rick calls it) for the Grand Canyon hike next Saturday is in full swing. I've had 7 rest days in the last 2 weeks. I'll be resting 3 of the last 6 days before the hike. If my calculations are correct, I should be no farther than 2,000 vertical feet from the finish when I run out of gas next Saturday.
