Jackson Hole, WY. On our way to the Tetons. Ran the trail just outside of town with my girl. It's been fun to run with her. Although she's not like a running "friend" like I'd imagined. She doesn't talk to me, and there is an element of "parenting" even in the running together. She gets annoyed because I want to make an even 5 miles, or because it's time to sprint. She rolls her eyes and balks a bit. Then toward the end, when she knows we are on the home stretch, she leaves me in her dust running fast back to the cabin while I look up at the mountains. I really need to get back here to ski sometime. It's beautiful in the summer--breathtaking, and I love Jenny Lake in the Tetons during the summer. But I have never skied Grand Targee or Jackson Hole, and when I see the slopes carved through the trees in Summer it makes me want to come back. Everyone says the skiing here is the best. Wyoming has been breathtaking....the wildflowers are out in record number because of the wet, late Spring. So many varieties and the mountains and valleys are deep green. It's so nice to get away. I think I will be running in a different state every day from now until next week except today and tomorrow (I'll be in Wyoming for almost 3 days). |
