RED Episode #97: Final Training for Donna Marathon Weekend, Mangia Food Truck in SW Florida, & Veza Sur Mangolandia
RUN
We had our final training runs ahead of the Donna Marathon Weekend this week. Aimee listened to her coach, Jeff Galloway, and just did easy runs of 30 minutes every other day. Dana completed his running schedule as well. Aimee’s goal is to PR in fun at the Donna Marathon Weekend. It is a race that you want to take in so much instead of trying to get to the end of it faster.
EAT
This week, of course, was not a travel week for us, so we decided to try something new here in town, Mangia Food Truck while they were at Big Storm Brewing Company on our rainy day off. They are fairly new in the rotation of food trucks we see at breweries here in town, but their food is amazing. We had a hot Italian sausage sandwich and a chicken sausage sandwich. They both tasted like the sausage was made from scratch and cooked with love. The spice was not too much and the onions and peppers that accompanied the sausage were cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of bite. The rolls they were served on were huge! Mangia Food Truck made such tasty and filling sandwiches! We can’t wait to go back for more. They say they are steadily getting into the rotation, so follow them on Facebook and get a tasty meal!
DRINK
While we were running last weekend at the Publix Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon, we stayed at the Bahia Mar Double Tree by Hilton. After the half marathon, we had enough time to take a dip in the pool and enjoy a local brew before making the drive back home. They had Veza Sur Brewing Company’s Mangolandia. Veza Sur is a brewery out of Miami. This brew was light and refreshing. As blonde ales go, it was not overly sweet and had a medium body and carbonation. The mango flavor was subtle and not overpowering. It was a perfect post-race celebration beer! We were so happy when we found it at ABC this week at home, along with other beers in their lineup that we can’t wait to try.
THAT’S A WRAP!
