obsessions

I have a new obsession... stand-up paddleboarding! It is definitely a fad and I would be lying if I didn't admit that seeing people like Jennifer Aniston paddling around with her perfect body did not inspire me just a tiny bit. BUT it lives up to the hype (how often can you say that?!). It's an incredible workout while also being such an awesome and relaxing activity - that said, only relaxing if the waters are calm. If it's choppy and/or you're against the current get ready to work hard. My favorite time to go is at sunset. On a clear day it's the most magnificent time to be on a board, alone in the water. Have you ever tried it? I hear you can rent boards in the Hudson but I'm not so sure about about that...
