Energizing with Eastern Market
Hi fellow Eastern Marketers, my name is Greg and each week I
will be dispensing tips on how to energize for an active lifestyle. It is no
secret that the Washington region is full of outside entertainment such as running
along the National Mall, kayaking on the Potomac, biking along the Anacostia, hiking in
Great Falls, and even playing kickball. Enjoying these wonderful activities requires
energy and there is no better place than Eastern Market to find that energy.

One of my favorite runs is from Lincoln Park to Lincoln
Memorial roughly 7.5 miles. It is straight with the only hill being of course
Capitol Hill. Nothing beats seeing all the monuments and running down along the
reflecting pool. The only dangers are tourists, protesters and the occasional presidential
motorcade.
After finishing any of my runs, I always make a point of
refueling with not only water but also protein. Eastern Market is an excellent
source of all things protein. One of my favorite sources of protein at the
market is the jerky from either Agora Farms or Market Poultry. Agora Farms has
beef jerky while Market Poultry has turkey jerky. Agora Farms has many
different tasty flavors such as Sweet Heat, Hot Lava, Hickory and Applewood.
Besides being tasty, jerky is nutritious and portable which makes it an
excellent choice for the professional on the go. Did you know that NASA astronauts often
request jerky for flights?
