RED Episode # 83: Speed Work Training and Key West Recap Part 2
RUN
Last week, we recapped our time running the Southernmost Half Marathon in Key West. This week we are taking what we learned and applying it to our training to prepare for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend. There is a tight time limit at Disney and we want to make sure we can reach the finish and explore and indulge. Trying to find the right run-walk-run ratio is on the list as well as making sure we reach the start line as healthy as possible.
EAT
Blackfin Bistro is a great option on Duval in Key West that is right across from Nine One Five, where we had amazing pasta before the race. It was a cute little place with a bar and some booth seating inside and a cute patio out back where they could have concerts and parties with beautifully strung lights for night events. Blackfin Bistro has a great burger that was recommended to us by a listener. It is an 8 oz. Wagyu Burger for $22, cooked to order and including port wine mayo, shallot marmalade, and smoked Gouda fondue. It is served with some perfectly-cooked truffle fries.
DRINK
The Roost is a small bar off Duval with a great ambiance and tasty original cocktails. They make their own ginger beer and put it in a Moscow Mule cocktail on tap. I had their house bourbon, one of our favorites, Buffalo Trace, in a perfectly made Old Fashioned. The bar seating is intimate and there are high back comfortable chairs at small tables all around. They also sell small plates, we couldn’t help but have fruit, cheese, and charcuterie. Also, we saw that they sell liquor, including Papa Pilar’s rum! It was a friendly little place off Duval that we’d go back to again. I want to try more of the small plates and original beverages. They looked tasty!
