About Me

I fell in love with Jackson Hole when first introduced to the area by the Butcher family. When I decided to spend the summer of '11 out here in JH, a former Pingry athlete, Katie Occhipinti, suggested I blog the adventure. I had no idea what a blog was but Katie O set the whole thing up and got me on my way. Last summer was a tremendous experience. The blog details all the great fun I shared with friends from June '11 - Oct. '11. Even before I left to head back to SRQ, I knew I wanted more of JH. I am now back in JH for "Adventure Summer Round Two!" Many friends have encouraged me to continue the blog this summer ...... so here we go! I arrived to town on June 12th and immediately felt at home. I am looking forward to another summer of hiking, biking and visits from friends. I once again look forward to sharing this experience with all of my friends who have planned to visit me out here. I also look forward to sharing the experience with my friends who follow this blog. Enjoy the pictures and the adventure. Happy summer to everyone!

Last workout with my favorite Trainer Eric !

This morning was my last workout with my trainer Eric before departing for the "Jackson Hole Adventure".  I have been working out with him up to four times a week since September of 2008.  We have developed a very interesting relationship as he pushes me through my paces.  I must say that I really like and respect the guy and his knowlegde but there is a lot of yelling and name calling at him during each of our sessions.  It is a good thing that Eric is not sensitive.  He has been great for me and with a lot of his help and pushing, I have never felt better.  The big fear of my great "Jackson Hole Adventure" is that I will struggle to maintain the fitness level that Eric and Dave (tennis trainer) have kicked my ass to achieve.  Eric has kindly written up a series of workouts for me to do while on the great adventure, but getting them done with the same consistency and intensity could be more than a bit difficult.  I am gonna give it my best shot. I do fear starting back up with Eric when I return to Sarasota if I let myself get to badly out of shape.  This fear might be motivation enough.
