RUN

Welcome to Anchorage RunFest! We recap Saturday’s events on our trip this week, including the Expo and the Anchorage Mile.  The Anchorage Mile events included a Women’s, Men’s, Military, and Community Mile that went off throughout the morning.  We had a great time running the flat course that looped 1.5 times around a great park where an outdoor post-race event was held with tents set up with games for kids, a truck serving coffee, post-race pizza, and a hunting safety tips tent was set up.    Then we got the honor and privilege to hear Bart Yasso and World Record Holder for Double Amputees in the Marathon. Marko Cheseto motivate us and provide us with wisdom ahead of the longer races on Sunday.  Such great events to start the weekend off right!  We will recap our 5K experience on next week’s episode, so stay tuned for more about this incredible weekend. It is our first back-to-live racing and traveling out of the state… can you tell we are excited?

EAT

Simon and Seafort’s was our celebratory meal after all the running was done in Alaska.  It was amazing.  Pro tip: make a reservation!  If you are craving a classic steakhouse experience or a place to get authentic and delicious Alaskan King Crab when it is hard to come by, get to Simon and Seafort’s.  Their ribeye is incredible, too!

DRINK

The last time we were in Anchorage, we explored some outstanding breweries. This time, we decided to indulge in amazing beverages from Anchorage Distillery. We had a Ghost Pepper Caesar and a Pickle Rick, but we did not stop there.  We also had a Porch Swing and a Barbie Girl.  Listen to the episode to discover who ordered what… And if you are ever in Anchorage, check out Anchorage Distillery!

THAT’S A WRAP!

Don’t forget the virtual race that is near and dear to our hearts that we talked about last week.
