I don't know how long I have been talking about going, but I finally did it; paddle boarding! We woke up early today and went over to the Agua Verde Cafe & Paddle Club on Lake Union, for about two hours of paddle boarding. It was actually a lot easier than I had thought it would be, but much more of a total body workout than I had expected. The entire time you have to stabilize yourself on the board, so you are working your feet, legs, and core, and then you are also paddling so you are working your shoulders and arms. The beginning of our trip was gorgeous and sunny, but towards the end the Washington clouds came in and the wind picked up making the waters a little bit more of an obstacle course. Needless to say as excepted, I'm hooked. Looks like I will be saving up my pennies for paddle board of my own one day.
