RUN

This week we completed the last 2 runs in our 60k Gauntlet Challenge from the Medal Chasers website.  This is a series of 10k runs for each infinity stone in the medal.  This virtual race series benefits the Pinky Swear Foundation that supports children and their families fighting childhood cancer.  This week we fought through the increasing humidity and heat that signals the start of Florida summer to earn those last two infinity stones.

This week, we are lucky to be joined by Bill and Kristina Craig, owners of Medal Chasers.  We talk about their passion for running and what brought them to providing these virtual races for their fellow runners.  We are on the waiting list for another one of their virtual challenges that looks amazing!  From fun runs that benefit running clubs to virtual races that support a variety of charities near and dear to their hearts, Medal Chasers Bill and Kristina provide creatively designed medals and race bibs that you should check out!  Plus they offer a My Race My Pace Medal Chasers group on Facebook for everyone to share their accomplishments and support each other in fitness endeavors, whether they are Medal Chasers events or not.  Thank you to both of them for taking time to talk with us!

EAT

This week, we highlight a local breakfast spot, Perk & Brew that we went to when Aimee finished her final two 10Ks to complete the Gauntlet Challenge!  Now that the local restaurants are able to seat 25% capacity inside, we went to check this little place out.  It felt like a little vacation spot that we’d find if we were traveling.  You know, the kind of little cafe where locals go to get great coffee and a hearty breakfast.  The coffee was tasty and warm, plus the Egg Sandwich with fruit or sub tots for a $1.50 more was so tasty!  You choose your bread, type of cheese, and meat.  We got croissant, with bacon, and cheddar or pepper jack.  Croissant is the way to go for the type of bread.  It was buttery and flaky, while the cheddar added that salty note on top of warm scrambled eggs, and finally the smoky and crisp bacon made the perfect breakfast bite.  

DRINK

Paul Cottrell, a leading local distiller and cocktail wizard joins us to create the final two fantastic drinks representing each infinity stone we earned.  The time stone rum cocktail and the soul stone gin cocktail wrap it all up for us.  Paul is a talented drink wizard who shows us creative drinks to celebrate our accomplishments.  He first joined us last year for National Mojito Day 2019 and you can check him out on the Run Eat Drink Podca
