RED Episode #105: Keep Accomplishing, Exploring, and Indulging with Us Virtually
RUN
We know that things have not been the same lately, especially for us as runners. Over the last week, we have seen races postponed and canceled, even the prestigious and inspiring Boston Marathon. But we want everyone to know that we have seen you making the most of the situation from running virtual races to supporting everyone in the running community through disappointment. We’ve had some racing updates lately that will change our schedule, too. But doing this show helps us stay positive and committed to training. Running has been such a fantastic part of our lives. Through it, we started the show and have been so lucky to meet so many of you on the course and through our social media.
We want this show to continue to be an hour of the day that you can enjoy and that allows you to have an escape from the stressors of the current situation, so we will keep bringing you our training updates as well as asking you to share yours, new race gear we are trying out that may be great for a run, virtual races we are running in our neighborhood, and special interviews that inspire will inspire all of us to keep going!
EAT
We have sampled some pretty great food trucks locally here at the Fort Myers Brewing Company in the past. Their 7th Anniversary Celebration was so good that we had to head back to their Food Truck Rally. We found Mobstah Lobstah and, we are so glad we did! They do lobster rolls two different ways AND lobster tots! What amazing seafood coming from a food truck that makes us think of one of our favorite places in Key West: DJ’s Clam Shack. When we can’t travel, we know we can absolutely get our hands on some amazing lobster right here in town!
We will continue to bring you tasty food in our “eating” segments, from local favorites to tasty recipes on our plan that we are eating at home during training or some “flashbacks” that we try to recreate at home. Stay tuned and, we will all explore some great eating together!
DRINK
Fort Myers Brewing Company’s 7th Anniversary Celebration afforded us the chance to sample some tasty beverages. We decided to take some crowlers home to sample original beer from their menu we hadn’t had yet. Cypress Strong, Bubblin Crude, and Get Lei’d are all great beers in different styles from their menu! We break it down live on the show! We will continue to bring you some great local spots where we indulge in tasty beverages...maybe some brews we pick up and try on the show that you may be able to get in your hometown! We may even try our hand at recreating some tasty cocktails that help us flashback to some great memories from the show! So indulge and toast your successes with us!
THAT’S A WRAP!
