RED Episode #115: 30k Gauntlet Challenge from Medal Chasers, Death By Taco 239, & Pachanga from Sun King Brewery

RUN

This week we talk about our training runs in the Florida heat.  We also kick off our 30k Gauntlet Challenge from the Medal Chasers website.  This is a series of 5k runs for each infinity stone in the “Tony Stark” version of the gantlet medal called the Nano Gantlet.  This virtual race series also benefits the Pinky Swear Foundation that supports children and their families fighting childhood cancer, just like the 10k version we completed a few weeks ago.  This week was a tough one because we had to combat the Florida heat and humidity as well a forecast full of storms we had to plan our running around, so it became a bit tricky to time it just right and get it done.  But we did it!

EAT

This week, we highlight the return of a local taco food truck called Death By Taco 239.  

We are so happy to have it back on Mondays at Nice Guys, when the pizzeria is closed.  We had the Saigon, Szechuan, and Rockefeller tacos.  They came in an order of two tacos each on a corn tortilla.  Our favorite?  The Rockefeller.  It has cornmeal-fried oyster mushrooms, pickled sweet corn, pickled mustard seed, preserved lemon aioli, shallot fennel slaw, and cilantro.  So good!!  if you want to hear more about this amazing truck, we featured them on Episode #106.  We are so glad to see that they will be open again on a regular basis!  Meet you anywhere they are, anytime!

DRINK

While eating the tacos, we got to sample a Mexican Lager that is new to us.  Since the food truck was parked at Nice Guys Pizza at the time we ate, we were able to a beer that was on draft there called Pachanga from Sun King Brewery.  We find similar flavor to other Mexican Lagers we’ve had in the past like No Nombre from Fort Myers Brewing Company or Modelo Especial.  It is a lighter beer that is nice to have on a hot and humid Florida day after a run.  

THAT’S A WRAP!
