Are you a desk eater or a lunch break taker?
I'm generally half and half. Most of the time, I have good intentions of getting up, going for a walk, heading to the gym for a quick lifting session or just read a magazine and eat lunch anywhere BUT over my keyboard. But often, that's where I find myself.
Yesterday, I was a little stressed, grabbed my lunch, Lean Forward into your Life, and my reusable grocery bag and headed to our local shi shi market. I did a little grocery shopping before sitting down at their tables (just for customers who come in to grab lunch - or in my case groceries, including a Kombucha I enjoyed w/ lunch). It was a nice way to enjoy a new scenery, get some good produce and actually relax on my lunch break.
I highly recommend it!
Also, in Active's enewsletter, I spied Eugene, OR (my city) listed as the first of the Top 5 Trail Running Destinations in U.S.!
I was also excited to see that Nashville, Santa Fe and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan were included because I know people who've lived/will live in all of these places! K (good friend and running buddy) will be moving to the land of the honky tonk for more school, Heather from DOTR is from New Mexico, and the manfriend went to college in the UP of Michigan and raves about it.
Happy almost Friday! I'm excited for the weekend to get here. This Sunday is the Eugene Marathon, so while I'm not running the 1/2 or the full, a lot of my friends are and it will be fun to spectate on le bike w/ friend K. Plus, the city will be jam packed with crazy runners. I think I might even head to the expo...just for fun.

I usually eat my lunch at my desk or outside, then jet for the "lunch hour" to get out of the office. TJ's trip, barnes & noble, Target, or just a bench outside where I can relax. :) If i had a gym near me that'd be awesome!
