I am a firm believer in the idea that any endeavor worth engaging in requires breaks. Breaks for your brain, breaks for your heart, breaks for your body, just… breaks! At least that’s how this body and this brain rolls.
Sometimes I like taking breaks, and sometimes, honestly, I have to force myself to step away. But I do try to spell myself when I can.
The cool thing about breaks is that you can do whatever you want, right? You can play chess, you can walk your fur baby in the park, you can do whatever you want like a boss because that’s what you are – the boss of your breaks!
Living in Arizona has reminded me how much I enjoy being outdoors, and shortly after I began work on The New Southwest I started trail running in a large local park. I love it. It’s a break that helps me clear out the cobwebs and keep things real with myself. Which was why I was so pleased to discover Albion Fit earlier this year.
I dig Albion Fit’s style.
I dig Albion Fit’s service.
And I dig Albion Fit’s, well, fit.
So today, because I think you deserve a break, too, and the excellent team at Albion Fit agrees, we’re offering one lucky SB reader the chance to win a $50 Albion Fit gift card.
Because there’s a trail you want to run! A poolside you want to decorate! A pretty sweatshirt you want to wear to your next chess match!
