Episode notes

I hadn't picked up a kayak paddle by myself in almost twenty years, and my arms let me know about it for two days straight. In this episode I talk about my four hour paddleboarding and kayaking trip at Lake Laurel, why I skipped the paddleboard for the kayak, and what it felt like to realize just how out of shape I still am on the water.

I also open up about the physical stuff I've been dealing with lately, hitting day 365 of continuous movement, and why there's a real difference between pain from pushing your body and pain from sitting still all day. Plus, I've got a big announcement about some upcoming guest hosted episodes and what's coming to the Patreon from Rhonda, including boot camps and exclusive content you won't hear anywhere else. If you're trying to figure out how to stay active, get stronger, or just show up for your body more consistently, this one's for you.
