The day after the hike to the summit of Taylor Mountain, Susan was not sure what to expect from her body. I must say that she was an amazing trooper the entire hike up Taylor. Only 18 hours after landing in Jackson Hole, which is a very short time to acclimate to the altitude change, Susan and I were hiking Taylor Mountain with 6 "Jackson Hole Regulars." It was a tough hike and both Susan and I were a bit frightened when thinking about how our legs would feel in the morning.
I credit my "torture trainer Eric" in Sarasota, for preparing my legs for the hike. When I woke up on Thursday morning my legs felt fine and off to the family room I walked. I found Susan in the family room not feeling quite as good as I felt. I told her to drink lots of water as I headed out the door for my first session with Terry, my Jackson Hole trainer. I made it through my session with Terry and headed back to the house with a smile on my face. As I walked into the family room I saw that Susan had given in to her muscle soreness and was napping on the sofa under a blanket. We both had a good laugh, drank a bottle of water and decided the best solution for her soreness was to get her legs moving again.

Nice view while biking |
Jackson Hole has a wonderful paved path that runs from downtown Jackson Hole and all the way to and through the Grand Teton National Park. It is a wonderful path and provides beautiful views for a nice bike ride. I had my road bike shipped to Jackson Hole and Susan had rented a road bike for her stay. With the goal of just getting Susan moving and our blood flowing through our bodies, we headed out to ride about 7 miles to grab some lunch and enjoy the view at Dornan's. After a nice salad for lunch we headed back to the house. Susan felt much better after our 14 mile bike ride.
