RUN
Medal Chasers does it again by brining us a great medal for the One Chance 5K. This Doctor Strange-themed run has a great GLOW-IN-THE-DARK medal! Plus it supports a great organization, Ava’s Avengers. We recap our race experience and talk about the swag!
On a more serious note, we discuss some news Aimee received and how that might change our show a bit over the coming weeks.
EAT
If you have been a long-time listener of our show, you know we love Raglan Road in Disney Springs. With live races few and far between lately, we have been lucky enough to take virtual runs on the road up to Disney, where we feel super safe, and get away for shorter runcations to celebrate our birthdays this month. Both times we went to this great restaurant. Raglan Road gave us an awesome experience with live music and delectable food in their bangers and mash as well as braised beef entrees. We break them down here. They gave us a bread pudding birthday celebration that wasn’t to be missed, too!
DRINK
Raglan Road has both great beer and whiskey! So we talk beer and whiskey flights.
Tullamore Dew was in Aimee’s Midlands Flight and Dana got the Bushmills Trio. Plus we revisit Tri Wishes from Crooked Can made especially for Raglan Road. What a delicious amber beer!
THAT’S A WRAP!
We are so thankful for all our patrons who help keep us going, especially in these tough times as a travel podcast for runners!

RUN
We are recapping this year’s experience at the Elite Events Turkey Trot that we ran live on Thanksgiving last Thursday! The medal was bigger, but the experience reminded us of last year while the folks from Elite Events made sure everyone was comfortable and had plenty of space to socially distance. The post-race treats were great and the opportunity for photos was so nice. Elite Events has race results posted online and finisher videos, too!
We also completed a virtual race - Richard’s Run for Life. It is a 5K to raise funds for the Moffitt Cancer Center. Aimee and Dana did their races in different ways and we recap that this week. The end result was the same: supporting a great organization and getting a $25 gift card to use at Ulele or the Columbia Restaurant. Yum!
EAT
The Columbia Restaurant Group opened its newest restaurant two weeks ago in Tampa, Casa Santo Stefano! We got to see their beautiful new space just down the street from their Columbia Restaurant location in Ybor City. This one took over an old pasta factory and pays homage to Sicilian classics on their menu. We started with Arancini, sampled an amazing salad in Valenti’s Burrata, had a classic in Spaghetti Con Pulpette (Spaghetti with Meatballs), and a unique dish in Spaghetti Al Nero Con Polpo (Squid Ink Spaghetti with Octopus). Delightful and delicious, the meal was a wonderful way to celebrate Aimee’s birthday!
DRINK
Casa Santo Stefano also has great cocktail selections. We wanted to try wine from their beautiful upstairs wine cellar. It was so hard to choose. Our server, Val, steered us in the right direction. We will be back for wine but focused on cocktails. The Casa Negroni made with Sicilian gin, highlighted the floral notes of the gin. The 1925 Manhattan, named for the year the building opened, was just the right amount of sweetness and smoke.
Just some wonderful notes on their amazing customer service: Val checked in with us at the perfect time during each course of the meal and he was ready to make the recommendations we needed for a perfect meal. The entire staff signed a card for us and presented us with a great lemon pound cake dessert to help celebrate the occasion. We felt like family. Matteo, a manager at the restaurant, gave us a tour of the building after our meal. We saw the kitchens and dessert stations where the magic happens. We even got a sneak peek of the upstairs space that has yet to open where there will be small plates and beverages of a different variety than the restaurant downstairs. Congratulations to the Columbia Restaurant Group on the newest addition to their family of amazing restaurants. We can’t wait to return!
THAT’S A WRAP!

RUN
We are revisiting the Elite Events Turkey Trot that we ran last year! It was live then, and it appears to be happening live again this year! We are so excited. The few live events we have participated in over the last two months have made us think back to all that we have to be thankful for in our running community during this challenging year.
We are also doing a virtual race - Richard's Run for Life. It is a 5K to raise funds for the Moffitt Cancer Center. There is still time to join the Run Eat Drink Podcast Team! Usually, this race is held in Tampa at night during the first weekend in November. This year, it is virtual, but we can't wait to support the Columbia Restaurant Group in meeting their goal of raising $150,000 for this organization doing the important work of supporting those battling cancer. Plus, you get a $25 gift card to use at Ulele or the Columbia Restaurant. Yum! They have even created a playlist on Spotify to run to when you complete the virtual. Here. It is on Apple Music, too!
Thank you for all you do to support our show. To all of the Runcation Nation, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
EAT
This year, we share our favorites from the Tampa Trifecta! That means favorite appetizers, entrees, and desserts from Columbia Restaurant, Ulele, and Goody Goody. From Okra Fries to Crab Croquettes and Butterscotch Pie, we want you all to come down when travel resumes and have a great meal with us at one of the fantastic locations!
DRINK
Columbia Restaurant, Ulele, and Goody Goody have exceptional beverages, too! We share some great beer, coffee, and dessert beverages for you to keep in mind when visiting these Tampa staples. Wedding beer? Root beer float? Coffee? Pete's Manhattan? Yes, please! These are strong recommendations to keep in mind when visiting the Tampa area.
Also, we can't wait to try their newest restaurant that opened last Thursday, Casa Santo Stefano! Congratulations to the Columbia Restaurant Group on the latest addition to their family of fantastic restaurants.
THAT'S A WRAP!

RUN
The Army Ten-Miler Virtual Race is one we saved for this week as we celebrate Veterans Day, which was on November 11th. We are well past the deadline to submit times but wanted to run this one to honor those we know and those of you in the Runcation Nation who served or have family members who served. We break down the swag bag, medal, and run on this week’s episode.
EAT
MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) Genuine U.S. Military Surplus are on the menu this week. We’ve never had them. How are these meals? Worthy of our soldiers? We tried two varieties and recorded our live reactions this week! The first was chicken, noodles, and vegetables in sauce. The second was a beef brisket entree. We talk about these MREs as items to consider when we are hit with a natural disaster, much like we have a hurricane kit with some canned goods in case we need them. These MREs have a longer shelf-life than some canned goods do, so they may be options that are worthy of consideration, although it may take some time to find a variety suitable to your palate.
DRINK
Black Rifle Coffee has a reputation for making great coffee and supporting our veterans. This week we share with you another variety that is available in our hometown. We picked it up from Shoot Center here in Cape Coral. It is called CAF Coffee Roast. It is smooth and has a caffeine punch! We also tried their Combat Cocoa Canister. The cocoa is milk chocolate goodness perfect for a cold fall night when you need a comforting beverage. You can make it with regular milk, but we had it with almond milk, and it was delicious!

RUN
It’s time to recap a Friendly Neighborhood Run from Medal Chasers. This 5K supports the Pinky Swear Foundation. This foundation helps kids fighting cancer and their families with financial and emotional support. The weather was humid, but the setting we chose for this virtual race gave us the chance to run at Epcot around the World Showcase. We decided to walk it and enjoy people watching and seeing the beautiful view of the water around the showcase. The medal is a spiderweb and Spider-Man is on a spinner, upside down, and getting ready to cast a web. It was a great way to get some miles in away from home.
We talked during this episode about some of the components of our training program with America’s coach and Olympian, Jeff Galloway. Find. out more about his run-walk-run training at www.JeffGalloway.com.
EAT
We are so happy that Splitsville is open again in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It is the best place for sushi at Disney Springs. We are happy to see these menu items return. The Fantasy Roll is a beautiful roll that showcases salmon, shrimp, and tuna with a kimchee ponzu sauce. The Super Tuna is Ahi, tempura shrimp, cream cheese, tempura flakes, and spicy mayo. The standout was our waiter’s recommendation, Grilled avocado, and Ahi tuna with that kimchee ponzu sauce. His name was Cody and his new addition to this dish, that we have had before, was to add a spicy krab mix. So good!
DRINK
Cody also recommended a frozen drink from the menu at Splitsville called Swampwater. With 151 Rum, this drink could sneak up on you because the lemonade and blue raspberry that create the green swampy color make it sweet and tart but not alcoholic in flavor. We also got the Old Fashioned on their menu and with Old Forrester bourbon, it does not disappoint and is a perfectly balanced cocktail.

From Our Patron, Meg Brower- A Wallis Sands Half Marathon Race Recap from October 2020
This week, we have another race recap from a live and in-person race. It is from our patron, Meg Brower! Thank you for sending this in and letting us accomplish, explore, and indulge along with you! We look forward to a time when we can travel, see your part of the country, and run with you!
Meg was also kind enough to send us some race recommendations for New Hampshire, so we can all be prepared when in-person races return to us!
New England Race Recommendations from Meg:
If you are interested in running a race up in the NH seacoast Area these would be my recommendations once races come back in person:
Wallis Sands Half Marathon in Rye, NH, usually in May
Smuttynose Rockfest Half Marathon in Hampton, NH usually the first weekend in October (This one has entry to a free concert of local bands, a small lobster roll, and chowder at the finish. In addition to your half zip race shirt and medal. They also have a 5k distance option usually)
Saunders 10k Rye, NH 3rd Thursday night in August
Great Island 5k ( Sunday of Columbus Day Weekend) New Castle, NH
That all being said, if you are only ever going to do one New England Race, I would do the Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, MA. It is the MOST scenic race I have ever run. It is all along the ocean, all 7 miles. It starts in Woods Hole, MA, and ends in Falmouth, MA. It’s a point to point course. Dave McGivallry (Boston Marathon Race Director) is the race director for this one as well. I have run this race 8 times as my Aunt has a home in Falmouth, MA. It is the 3rd Sunday in August. It is a lottery only race. Totally worth it, though.
Also, the Boston BAA 5K, which is the Saturday before the Marathon, is a great one too but more big city, not ocean scenic. You may have to choose between this one and Star Wars Weekend at Walt Disney World, though!
THAT’S A WRAP!
Have you participated in a live and in-person race recently? Share a recap with the rest of the Runcation Nation and us. It is a great way to travel and run virtually until we can all run together safely again! E-mail a written recap or audio recording to info@runeatdrink.net. You can call or text it to us at (941) 677-2733.

RUN
Oops, we did it again! Actually, we did another live race on purpose! 2020 LCEC Goblin Gallop 5k was a local race at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral to benefit the United Way. It was early morning by the water and we got to see the sunrise. There was a breeze, too! It was a flat course with one water stop and a medal for all finishers that was shaped like a pumpkin! We dressed up as our favorite superheroes to run the race. So happy that we got to run it! We were out there to enjoy it and enjoy it we did. Thanks to Rachel at The Run Shoppe and everyone at 3D Racing who worked to put this fun race together!
EAT
We had a great dinner at the Fish Tale Grill to celebrate. It is stone crab season! It’s been a while since we had a great seafood dinner and this one came to play! We split a Captain’s platter with shrimp cocktail, snow crab, stone crab, king crab, lobster tail, and clams plus so much more! It came with cocktail sauce, drawn butter, and a creamy mustard dip. The meat was briny and juicy. The sauces complemented the meats. We ordered an extra side of stone crab because... tis’ the season!
DRINK
It was National American Beer Day last week! We decided to celebrate with some classic American beers on a live video with our Runcation Nation. This week, we had our friends from our local taproom and package store, No. 3 Craft Brews, select a customized six-pack of American brews for us. We break down two of them on the show this week. Sierra Nevada’s Dankful IPA was an IPA that we were fans of and that supports nonprofits doing good work in communities. DuClaw Brewing Company has a beer that brings us back to childhood and gave us a great sour that Dana loved called Sour Me Unicorn Farts. A review of all six will be available for our patrons, too!
THAT’S A WRAP!

RUN
When we ran at Walt Disney World earlier this month, we completed another in the virtual race series from Medal Chasers called the I Can Run All Day 10K. This race benefits Team RWB (Red White and Blue). Its mission is to connect Veterans to their communities through physical and social activities. We ran it at Disney Springs. The medal is a great one featuring a spinner of Captain America’s shield. We are so happy to bring the race to Disney while RunDisney events have gone virtual for 2020.
EAT
Baseline Tap House is a great place to go for beer, cocktails, and small plates. The vibe is so great. It’s a tiny place next to the Sci-Fi Drive-In Theatre in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The California Cheese and Charcuterie Plate is an amazing combination of cheese, meat, fruit, and toasted baguettes. Coffee-rubbed Rib-Eye Beef Puff with Olive Salad is so tasty! These two plates were so tasty. We would have them again and again. Small bites are great to share on a hot day in a theme park. A bit of delicious food that won’t weigh you down, so you can continue to enjoy the theme park and attractions after your meal.
DRINK
It’s National American Beer Day! We have to celebrate by talking about a couple of beers that we had a Baseline Tap House brewed in the USA! Golden Road 329 Lager at ABV 4.8% was light-bodied, refreshing, and great for hot Florida weather. It was not bitter or hoppy. It had a slight bread and malt flavor and was a light yellow color. We also had Golden Road Hefeweizen at 5% ABV. It had notes of orange and coriander without any bitterness. This place sports great beer and a laid-back atmosphere, plus a great playlist full of covers of popular songs. Come hang out, relax, and cool off after a day at Hollywood Studios. We just wish it was open later so we could stay longer!

RUN
We ran the Freedom 5K last weekend. It was a live and in-person race! We were so excited that we did an Instagram live throughout the whole race once we got started. It was a flat course, which is unusual for this race as it is usually held for 4th of July and normally we run over a huge bridge at sunrise to see a beautiful view of the Caloosahatchee River.
It was a great race that benefitted Brotherhood of Heroes and Special Operations Communicators Association, both organizations tied to helping support Veterans and first responders. There was a goodie bag. There was a t-shirt. Aimee even came away with 2nd place in her age group!
We commend the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce and Donna Germain for pulling off this race after months of delays and coming together to make runners so excited. Even those in the neighborhood where we ran came out of their houses to cheer us on and offer us water. Thanks to everyone in our community who made this happen!
EAT
We had a fantastic brunch after the race at Gather in our hometown. It is a flashback because we covered their fantastic brunch right after this race in 2018 in Episode 33 of our show. We happened to come back on the 3rd anniversary of the opening of this great restaurant on the water. You can sit inside and it is such a colorful environment or outside by the water and enjoy the fantastic and very Florida view!
Did we mention the brunch? Aimee had the Croque Madame. Ham, gruyere cheese between two pieces of perfectly buttered and pan-seared bread, an over-easy egg, and mornay sauce that just made this a must-have brunch item. Dana had the Lobster Cake Benedict. It was the perfect combo of lobster and cake with a poached egg and a hollandaise that Dana just raved about. Both dishes were served with house potatoes and at reasonable prices. Come to the Cape and have brunch with us here! You will love it!
DRINK
We had great cocktails from Duval Street here in Cape Coral. It is a restaurant that brings a bit of Key West to us when we can’t get away. So to continue our celebration of our first live race since February this year, we had two cocktails that took us back to so many memories of our runcations there! The first is Ernest Hemingway’s Old Fashioned, which is a rum-based beverage including Papa’s Pilar dark rum, a rum made right there in Key West! We also sampled the Key Lime Martini, which included one of our favorite rums - Wicked Dolphin Key Lime and Vanilla Bean Rum! Such a refreshing, sweet, and tart cocktail! We felt like we should be by a pool or out on a beach relaxing as we sipped these delights from the menu! We want to return for a full meal at Duval Street and sample a few more creations from the cocktail menu!

RUN
Medal Chasers has introduced a virtual race series dedicated to supporting some great charities as well as some of our favorite Marvel heroes! So we had to run a few of the races while we were visiting Walt Disney World. We had the chance to stay at Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge and take in the scenery that is completely different from Florida and takes us to the Pacific Northwest. This week’s hero is Aimee’s favorite, Black Widow. The medal features Black Widow’s iconic belt. We ran the Whatever It Takes 5K around this scenic resort to support Abby’s House. This organization supports low-income, battered, and homeless women. It was a fun setting.
EAT
The Wilderness Lodge is home to a fantastic outdoor bar with a beautiful view of the water. Geyser Point Bar & Grill also has a range of delicious dishes to try. We couldn’t decide, so we split some great dishes. Charcuterie, Cheesy Barbecue Brisket, Crispy Fried Oysters, and the Bison Cheeseburger were all amazing, and we break them down on the show this week. There is something for everyone on this menu.
DRINK
AbracadaBar is a bar on the Boardwalk where we found a magical theme and tasty cocktails. We tried bourbon and rye cocktails. The first was a Black Manhattan with hints of orange, a slight bitterness, and the punch of Rye whiskey. The Parlor Trick is bourbon-based and includes soda water and simple syrup to let the bourbon shine! It was a darker and cozy environment that makes you want to see some magic and stay awhile.

RUN
Medal Chasers has introduced a virtual race series dedicated to supporting some great charities as well as some of our favorite Marvel heroes! So we had to run a few of the races while we were visiting Walt Disney World. The Boardwalk and Epcot resort area is one of our favorite places to run. We did the "Ready.Aim.Run 5K" as our second race in that area while we were at Disney in September. This is the one we ran for time, so we ran separately but Dana was there to cheer me on at the end in addition to the random strangers applauding us! The race was hot and humid but the scenery was amazing. The charity attached to this one is Kidz Outdoors. This organization connects families through outdoor activities and raises funds for children battling diseases like cancer. We were so happy to support a great organization and to run a Hawkeye-themed race... plus the medal lights up! So fun!
EAT
It is no secret that one of our favorite areas in Epcot is Canada... that’s right... Canada! But we’ve never been to Le Cellier Steakhouse. Until September! We snagged a lunch reservation, but it was such an indulgent meal that we split an appetizer, entree, side, and dessert. Beef Bourguignon Poutine was an amazing starter. So rich and tasty, it is a must when coming here. Aimee loves steak... ribeye is her favorite cut! This version did not disappoint. The potato salad was warm, and a unique take for us that we want to try to reproduce at home! The Maple Whiskey-glazed Brussels Sprout enhancement we ordered was sweet and tender. Maple Crème Brûlée ... a yummy dessert!!
DRINK
Le Cellier Steakhouse gave us the chance to try new beverages in Canada too! Especially because we could walk back to our hotel! Normally we drink Moosehead Lager after a race or indulge in La Fin Du Monde if we are in the mood for a beer that packs a punch! But this meal gave us the chance to try a classic Canadian Cocktail, the Caesar. It is related to a Bloody Mary but includes clam juice... trust us; it does not taste like seafood! It is delightfully spicy with a horseradish and Tabasco kick... Dana had a classic version with vodka, and Aimee had a version with Canadian whiskey! Try this at brunch sometime or when you are at Le Cellier Steakhouse if you get a chance.

This is a half marathon-sized episode! This week we are not only bringing you new races, places, and amazing food and drink, we are also looking back at some of our favorites to celebrate a couple of national days of recognition that coincided with this week’s episode.
RUN
This week we are recapping a virtual race we ran this weekend. Southwest Florida Walk Like MADD 5K & 10K to raise money for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving. We talked about it with Lori Burke, Executive Director of MADD back on Episode 131. We are proud to support a local organization that does so much to prevent drunk driving and to support victims of these preventable incidents.
It is International Podcast Day on September 30th! Of course, we are celebrating! We are so fortunate to have this platform and want to share and applaud other podcasts that we enjoy. These shows have helped us get through many a long run, so we want to give them a shout out.

2. Extra Mile Podcast and Extra Mile Podcast Galloway Edition*
5. How Good It Is Podcast & Words and Movies*

EAT
This past Friday was National Lobster Day! We headed to a new addition to the downtown Fort Myers area to celebrate with some lobster rolls. Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls may be in a town near you. This location opened up at the beginning of 2020 and we are so happy it still here for us to celebrate with some tasty rolls, soup, and sides! Can’t wait to go back and have more!
We also talked about some past episodes featuring some great lobster that you can still get if you have a hankering! They include:
Quick Bite #80: Listener Recommendation at DJ’s Clam Shack (Famous Lobster Roll)
Episode #87: 2019 Wine and Dine Half Marathon & Dana’s Picks from Epcot Food & Wine Festiva (Lobster Roll at Hops & Barley Booth)
Episode #105: Keep Accomplishing, Exploring, and Indulging with Us Virtually (Our favorite lobster roll from a local food truck Mobstah Lobstah)
Episode #125: A Training Run At Walt Disney World and a Peek at Some 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Offerings (Citrus Blossom Booth Half Lobster Tail... Yum!)
DRINK
The day this episode is published, September 29th is National Coffee Day! One of our favorite days!! So we have a flashback to some of the delicious coffee we have featured on the show! Plus a bonus for members of our Runcation Nation!
Episode #39: Walk Like MADD 5K Dash, Artisan Eatery, and Grumpy Goat Coffee
Quick Bite #81 Cuban Coffee Queen
Quick Bite #89: Video Interview with Head Coffee Roaster of Big Storm Coffee Company, Chris Ramsey
What are we drinking this week to celebrate National Coffee Day? Black Rifle Coffee. More specifically, we are drinking their Thin Blue Line Coffee Roast. It is a smooth medium roast that we can drink black or with milk and still get the same smooth coffee flavor. We love Black Rifle Coffee because a portion of the proceeds go to support law enforcement as well as other public servants who help keep us safe and fight for our freedom. That and delicious coffee... it is a great National Coffee Day indeed!

RUN
Medal Chasers has introduced a virtual race series dedicated to supporting some great charities as well as some of our favorite Marvel heroes! So we had to run one while we were visiting Walt Disney World. We ran the Smash Your Run 5K benefitting the Children’s Health Fund. The perfect place to feel like you are running a RunDisney race is the Boardwalk. We ran our 5K there and our goal was to take in all of the beautiful sights like people outside Boardwalk Bakery cheering for us when they realized we were running a virtual race and the beautiful view over the water of all the Epcot area resorts. Finishing right in front of the bakery and putting our medals featuring Hulk’s fist smashing through a wall giving the medal a 3D feel. it was great.
EAT
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs is a favorite place for us to go, but we have NEVER had brunch there because reservations can be hard to get. Well this weekend, we had success! We did our 5K and headed over to Disney Springs hungry for something we have heard nothing but rave reviews about. A HUGE item called the Hallelujah Biscuit. An open-faced biscuit topped with Chef Art Smith’s famous fried chicken, two over-easy eggs, pimento cheese, pecan smoked bacon, and sawmill gravy. It came with a side item. We couldn’t share this one, so we each had one. Dana had Bradley’s grits and Aimee had mouth-watering mac and cheese. Needless to say, we wanted a nap after that huge and incredibly flavorful meal. What better way to celebrate a 5K!
DRINK
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ has outstanding brunch beverages, too. We had the Sweet Tea Shine, Moonshine Mash, and a tasty Southern Mary. Sweet Tea Shine is tasty sweet tea with lemon juice and moonshine. Moonshine Mash incorporates moonshine with fresh watermelon and lime juice. The Southern Mary is a spicy Bloody Mary topped with some of our favorites like a pimento cheese-stuffed olive and a fried green tomato! We had great service and a great time at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’!

RUN
This week we are previewing a race we will be running at the end of September. We’d love it if you would join us in the Southwest Florida Walk Like MADD 5K & 10K to raise money for the Mothers Against Drunk Driving. We talk about it with Lori Burke, Executive Director of MADD. She talks about the important work that this organization does for victims and their families.
We would love for you all to join us in supporting MADD by going to madd.org/5k and register to walk, run, dance, or bike a 5k or 10k for this great community organization. Special thank you to Lori Burke for taking the time to talk with us about MADD and this event.
EAT
This week we feature a great local food truck Horse Eyed Jake’s American Sliders. We’ve seen it around town and finally got a chance to try it out. The sliders that come out of this truck are over-sized and delicious. We tried four, including a Jammin’ Jalapeño, T-Bone, the Wakey Jakey, and a Crab Jake, too! All cooked to perfection and sauced just right! We also got the cooked-to-order chips and tried the Old Bay and Spicy Ranch seasonings. Finally, we were stuffed, but couldn’t pass up Carrot Cakey with a pineapple flair and frosting that was so cream cheesy! If you are local, you should give this food truck a try!
DRINK
Bones Coffee is another local gem roasted right here in our hometown. But, you can order it no matter where you are! You can get pounds of ground coffee or whole-bean and there are sampler packs if you need to try the variety of flavors Bones Coffee offers. We tried the Chocolate Orange Caramel Apple because we are heading into fall and wanted a taste that made us think of cooler weather. The flavors were subtle and not artificial at all. Dana does not generally like flavored coffees but enjoyed these two from Bones Coffee. The flavors are orchestrated well with a hint of the flavor but nothing that takes it too far and into the realm of dessert-type coffee beverages. We can’t wait to try more flavors from this local company and are excited that you all could get them shipped to your door, too!

First, our coach, Jeff Galloway, has a great new podcast out. You Can Do It is a collaboration between Jeff and his son, Westin, to chronically Jeff’s incredible career as an Olympian and America’s coach. Thanks to Wendel from the runcation nation for sharing it with everyone. Check it out on your next long run!
This week, we ran a 5K for a great cause, Stand Up To Cancer. The Come To The Dark Side, We Have Coffee 5K combines one of our favorite movies AND our favorite morning beverage! We talk about our experience running this virtual 5K. The swag included a bib, a well-themed finisher’s medal, and even a t-shirt, too! It made the running experience better to know that we could support a great organization while celebrating the theme of coffee and Star Wars.
All of this was brought to us by the I Run for Movement virtual races website. They have a variety of themes from Back to the Future to World’s Okayest Runners Club and the Turtle Running Team, too. This website has a whole host of virtual races with swag but even better, each one is connected to a great organization like Stand Up To Cancer, Feeding America, and First Responders Children’s Foundation. Check it out because in this time, when 2020 seems to be the year of the virtual, you can get some great bling and support some great causes.
EAT
This week we wanted to discuss another tasty recipe we discovered in The Healthspan Solution that will help us stay on track with our training. Labor Day is usually the unofficial end of summer. There is a refreshing salad in the book that has helped us stay cool in this unforgiving Florida heat and humidity. it is called the Chili Avocado Citrus Bowl. The dressing has hints of barbecue flavor in the dressing and the layers of texture with the spring mix, the creamy avocado, tangy pomegranate, and juicy citrus are perfect for an outdoor holiday cookout this holiday weekend or as a filling lunch during the week.
We featured The Healthspan Solution on episode 108 and 109 as well when we were lucky enough to talk with authors Julieanna Hever and Ray Cronise. It has become a cornerstone of our cooking at home.
The Healthspan Solution has great recipes that are plant-based and flavorful! And you can absolutely add protein while increasing the nutrient-dense content in your meals without sacrificing flavor.
You can get the hardback version of The Healthspan Solution here or the Kindle version by clicking here.
DRINK
Momentum Brewhouse and Grumpy Goat Coffee collaborated to bring us two great special release beers. This week, we taste Thigh Highs, which combines Momentum’s Knee Highs Imperial Red and Grumpy Goat’s Colombian Dark Roast Coffee. Plus, Pierce’s Pale infused with a Blonde Roast from this local team. A lighter and a darker offering to try. Momentum partners with local food trucks as well and always lets us know when they are stopping by and a great food and beer pairing to try. Cheers to this great collaboration between Momentum Brewhouse and Grumpy Goat Coffee.

In this week's PLUS-SIZED-EPISODE, in addition to our training updates, we are featuring an interview with the founder of Ekhart Yoga, Esther Ekhart. Aimee has been a long-time member of Ekhart Yoga and Esther’s classes have been a major part of coming back from injury but more importantly, it has been a key cross-training element for Aimee’s running program. The running playlist on YouTube was how Aimee initially found Ekhart Yoga, and since then she has subscribed and been a loyal member for several years.
Of course, everyone should consult a doctor before adding anything to their fitness regime.
Esther and her fellow instructors offer modifications during yoga classes so you can do each pose at a level that works for you. The Ekhart Yoga website is searchable by the level of yoga expertise, teacher, the time you have available, the specific use you are looking for, and much more.
Here are all the ways you can connect with Ekhart Yoga to find out more and to see the 30-Day Challenge Esther talked about on the show:
- Ekhart Yoga 30-Day Yoga Challenge
- Ekhart Yoga on Instagram
- Ekhart Yoga on Facebook

EAT
When we went to Walt Disney World a few weeks ago, we were going to celebrate our wedding anniversary. So we are featuring an upscale meal we had while in the parks that did not disappoint.
This week, we flashback to a meal we would have again and again at Yak and Yeti inside Animal Kingdom there. The restaurant itself has an eclectic mix of artifacts meant to transport you to a hotel at the foot of the Himalayan mountains where travelers would stop on the way to Mount Everest. The cuisine is a tasty mix of Asian dishes, and our appetizer of pan-seared dumplings with a soy-lime dipping sauce was mouth-watering and tangy with a rich pork filling. Dana’s entree of Honey Chicken was sweet yet crunchy with the tempura chicken and included jasmine rice to soak up all that awesome sauce. Aimee had Korean Beef which combined barbecue flavors with tender beef, crunchy veggies, and jasmine rice. So good! We can’t wait to go back and try the duck and the coconut shrimp dishes. It was special-occasion-worthy!
Here’s the link to the Landry Select Club that Dana gave as a tip in the show! Check out the benefits!
DRINK
Yak and Yeti had an extensive list of cocktails, and we both found ones to enjoy. Aimee tried a rum-based beverage developed by the bartenders there called the South Seas Traveler. It tasted like a sweet vacation beverage! Dana had the Snap Decision, which featured Woodford bourbon and apricot brandy. It was one we would order again! Two delightful drinks to top off our anniversary celebration!

RUN
This week we complete the RunDisney Virtual Race Series with the Haunted Mansion 5K! Yes, we talk about the weather, but we are also without the medals, so we can’t wait until they arrive! It was a different summer race series because we couldn’t travel up to Walt Disney World to do it, but for Aimee, working from home now, it was a chance to get outside and get some fresh air ahead of the afternoon summer showers. For Dana, it was motivation to get his running done on a long work weekend.
This week, we are connected to Walt Disney World and running amazing races virtually because we had the honor and pleasure of talking with Chef Art Smith! He has two amazing restaurants at Disney Springs, but he has also run marathons and took us on his storied running journey as we talked with him. Although he hasn’t run a race at Walt Disney World, he was in the Magic Kingdom College Program, now known as the Walt Disney World College Program, in 1981. We recorded this interview in the third week of April 2020, when we would have been running the Rival Run Weekend at Walt Disney World. Chef Art helped us bring a little bit of Disney home!
EAT
Chef Art Smith has appeared on the Food Network on shows like Chopped and is famed for being Oprah Winfrey’s personal chef. He has also authored books like Back to the Table as well as Kitchen Life: Real Food for Real Families and Back to the Family. Chef Art Smith is a two-time James Beard Foundation award winner with restaurants in Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, Washington, D.C., and many more. He’s been on television shows like Top Chef Masters and The Today Show. Talking with him about his amazing restaurants and amazing southern comfort food made our mouths water!
DRINK
Chef Art Smith has some incredible beverages at his restaurants. He has Moonshine at Homecomin’ in Disney Springs and we really want to get to his Atlanta restaurant, Southern Art and Bourbon Bar, for some amazing bourbon-based cocktails, too, when it reopens. It was great to get a little bit of the story and inspiration behind some of the signature cocktails at his restaurants.
He is also generous in giving back to the community. He started Common Threads, an organization that teaches families the joy of healthy cooking. This summer, they are even having a virtual summer camp for kids with activities they can do at home.
Chef Art Smith was so generous with his time. We can’t thank him enough for spending time with us and inspiring us with great stories from his own running and life as an award-winning chef.

RUN
No race registrations or virtual races this week, it was a week of healing and getting back out there slowly and safely for Aimee. Dana was getting in his runs and finding his sweet spot for run-walk-run ratios. No race cancelations that we know of either! So, we focused on getting mileage while looking forward to the last in our RunDisney Virtual Race Series, the Haunted Mansion 5K next week. We can’t wait to get the medals in our hands!
EAT
On episodes 108 and 109 of our show, we featured an interview about one of our favorite books to cook from in our kitchen, The Healthspan Solution. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been cooking a lot of a new favorite in our kitchen, Cream of Mushroom Cauliflower Rice. We were lucky enough to be joined by the Plant-Based Dietitian, Julieanna Hever, this week to chat about it! She told us the story behind it and why she loves it so much. I know we will be making it a lot because it is comforting, filling, and uses the flavors that summon great memories from childhood and the holidays.
You can get the hardback version of The Healthspan Solution here or the Kindle version by clicking here.
Find more resources from Julieanna Hever at her website, plantbaseddietitian.com
Check out Julieanna on YouTube here.
A special thank you to Julieanna Hever for spending time with us and sharing knowledge this week!
Thank you to Hannah Kaminsky for the fantastic photo of the Cream of Mushroom Cauliflower Rice dish.
DRINK
We featured Rock-N-Reef Red on our live beer chat this week from a local favorite, Coastal Dayz Brewery. They are the latest to get their food license in the state of Florida so their local patrons can resume on-site consumption. But that is not the only update for this local gem. They are going to start canning their great beer! We got a sneak peek at the prototype labels while tasting another one of our favorites from this brewery, Homeport Honey Wheat. If you come to the Fort Myers area, hit us up on social media because we’d love to meet you at Coastal Dayz Brewery for a pint!

RUN
We ran at home this weekend. Dana was able to get a 5K in everyday this weekend at work. Aimee was still recovering from her ankle injury last weekend, so we postponed the longer run for a week. The Beat The Blerch weekend we were scheduled for in September was canceled. We registered successfully for all 3 races at the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend. We even got into the Kessel Run Challenge, that includes getting in the Star Wars Virtual anywhere in the galaxy prior to the race weekend in Orlando in April of 2021. Fingers crossed! We got in last Thursday as Annual Passholders, but regular registration is Tuesday, August 11th at 10AM. May the Force Be With You!
EAT
We took our training run to Walt Disney World to check out the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival last week, and this week we flashback to the awesome quick service meal we had at Satu’li Canteen. This place is situated right next to the popular ride, Pandora Flight of Passage, in Animal Kingdom, and we were lucky enough to make a quick visit there on our last day in Orlando. The My Disney Experience App allowed us to mobile order and come in once our meal was ready. We had tasty Cheeseburger Bao Buns and a flavorful Slow-Roasted Sliced Grilled Beef Bowl with noodles and a charred green onion vinaigrette. We had friendly employees guiding us to a table, and one named Tiger who noticed our Happy Anniversary buttons and got us a complimentary Chocolate Cake dessert. He definitely got a cast compliment!
DRINK
The 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival had some great beer offerings, but Satu’li Canteen did as well. Dana had an Organic Blonde Ale from Orlando Brewing. It was light and refreshing on a humid post-rain summer day. Aimee had a Dreamwalker Sangria, which is a white sangria with a hint of blue curaçao. It was light and crisp, not overly sweetened. They were great beverages to go along with one of our new favorite places to visit at Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

RUN
We took our training run to Walt Disney World to check out the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. We had a 3-miler to complete and thought this was a great chance to get a peek at the festival as it is running longer than it ever has before this year. We also wanted to see what the experience was like at Disney now that it has reopened.
EAT
This year we got to experience classics at the Canada booth! We featured the Canada booth in Episode 86 as we compared it to Ireland’s offerings. The “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle-Butter Sauce was great and the star is always Canadian Cheddar and Bacon Soup with a Prop and Peller Pretzel Roll. Ireland has not returned, but we got to experience a brand new booth called Citrus Blossom. The Lobster Tail served with Meyer Lemon Emulsion and Grilled Lemon was fantastic and the Crispy Citrus Chicken with Orange Aioli and Baby Greens was awesome. We can’t wait to try more from the festival later on this year!
DRINK
The 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival had some great beer offerings as well. We got two new ones between the Canada and Citrus Blossom booths. At Citrus Blossom, we saw Islamorada Beer Company and we had to try the Coconut Key Lime Ale there. Crisp and refreshing for a hot Florida day, it had subtle notes of coconut and key lime. With an ABV of 5%, it was a great offering to cool off during this very humid Florida summer. At Canada, there was the Blackberry Fruit Beer from Collective Arts out of Hamilton, Ontario. At 4.7% ABV, it was a beer with lower carbonation and a dry finish, and a blackberry color, almost as if it was a wine. It was not a dessert beer, but a refreshing offering that we’d have again in Canada.
