My brother and sister-in-law are avid NYC paddlers and did a marathon
22 mile paddle up the Hudson River the past weekend, to the very top of Manhattan! (Where currents meet at Spuyten Duyvil, or Spitting Devil.)
Paddling around Manhattan is not for the faint of heart: there's open water navigation, major wind and waves, stamina loss...

Meantime, my sister had her crazy surgery residency schedule all weekend. But me? I slept-in, chatted and avoided work. (Clearly, this family needs a sloth...me :) Have a
relaxing weekend!!
22 miles is a LOT! That is just amazing to hear, because when someone mentions Manhattan, kayaking is the last thing that would enter my mind.
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs to take time out and be a sloth sometimes ^-^. I'll be doing that this weekend with a bunch of tapas!
Mmm, tapas sound *delicious*!! (Yes, outdoor sports + Manhattan are a surprising combo, aren't they?) Thanks for your sweet comments - I guess everyone has to be sloth-y sometimes!
ReplyDeleteupper body semi-marathon! wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy, isn't it? (I'd rather sit around and eat away my weekends :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool! But you and I are cut from similar cloth. I love being lazy.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy - I agree, being lazy is just too fun to pass up (esp. when it's sultry summer!)
