RUN

We got some sad news this week in the running community about the NYC Marathon and updates to the Marine Corps Marathon.  But the saddest one of all for us was the Donna Marathon Weekend announcement.  We talk about how that has impacted the running community.  

 RunDisney Virtual Race Series has begun!  The first 5K in that series themed around the Mad Tea Party.  We were making plans to ensure it is full of Disney magic, but the Florida weather had other plans with a “feels like” temperature of 101!  Yet, we accomplished the goal and let the fun medal inspire us.  We did it at home because, sadly, Walt Disney World has not reopened yet.  It was a flat course, and hot.  

Remember, if any of you are looking for a virtual race, we have a discount code for the Virtual Pace Series website to offer everyone in the Runcation Nation.  Use RUNEATDRINK10 at their website to get 10% any event!  We will be doing one soon!  

EAT

We were able to get away to Clearwater, Florida last weekend and explore some local favorites.  North Island Bar & Grille was awesome!  It is a little place tucked away off the beach, but the food is amazing!  We shared the Argentina Reds. These were huge peel and eat shrimp tossed in garlic butter Cajun sauce and served with buttery garlic bread.   It was $11 and worth every penny! It was so good we tried to go back for more later that evening, but the kitchen was already closed.  We loved the island color scheme and the staff was super friendly!  Kick back and relax at the bar indoor or outdoor seating.  Have some great food along with some local brews and great cocktails.

DRINK

In our very first episode, we went to The Columbia along the Tampa Riverwalk.  It was a throwback to childhood for Dana and to some incredible times of celebration in our family.  Now that their restaurant group is reopening its locations, we decided to celebrate by toasting with one of our favorite drinks from there at sunset by the beautiful water view at their Clearwater location.  A Pete’s Manhattan was in order for us!  It is a strong cocktail but full of flavor from Knob Creek, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, and a dash of Ramazzoti Amaro. Hall of fame bartender, Pete Scaglione’s recipe for $9.95 but it tastes like they could charge so much more.
