I am one of those people that likes to feel sore after a workout. I’ve read the research and I know that you don’t have to feel sore to have gotten a good workout–and I believe that. Still, I actually enjoy the feeling of my muscles aching (a little) when I move.

Since I joined a Dragon Boat team in Hartford, Connecticut, I’m getting plenty sore. I’m using muscles I’ve always used, but in a totally different way. It would be easier for me to list what doesn’t hurt in my body (my toes), but I’m so impressed by feeling every muscle that I’m […]

Summer Getaway

Maybe take a leisurely raft ride down the Farmington River.

Hiking is always a favorite activity of mine. And Connecticut has lots of places to hike. I like Devil’s Hopyard and the Heublein Tower.

Have a picnic with friends or just you and your favorite book.

We’ve Moved

I moved on December 28th and that means Personal Euphoria moved with me. With every box I lifted I kept my core engaged, and every time I add something to the list-of-things-to-do that goes along with being a new homeowner I breathe.
