Episode 152: Dana Does an Iron Man
RUN
Dana did an Iron Man this week! Really, Dana ran a 10K this week. He earned a medal from the Medal Chasers Assemble Series, “Part of the Journey is the End.” The medal features Iron Man and lights up! It is so cool. And as fans of Tony Stark, the title of the virtual…so appropriate. Even better, the featured charity is one we have talked about before, the Pinky Swear Foundation. According to their website, "Pinky Swear Foundation eases the financial and emotional impacts experienced by children with cancer and their families by providing basic needs support during a very challenging time.” It is an amazing mission and we are so happy to feature this foundation through this virtual event provided by Medal Chasers.
We thought highlighting this race was also very timely, as we also have an entire team of the Runcation Nation running to support The Donna Foundation through the Donna Marathon Weekend virtual events. Thank you to so many of you - almost 30 of you- who have answered the call and chosen to register to run anywhere from 0.0 to 110 miles, “everywhere, together.” This week is the week many of you will run the distance and submit an official time and others will begin to complete their own race at their “own pace” while supporting this amazing organization. Thank you all!
EAT
This week, we feature another recipe from our kitchen. Actually, it is one we found on Blissful Basil. The images there just made our mouths water and we had to try it! Ashley, who creates these recipes, features plant-based recipes here. We thought a brunch recipe would be perfect for post-virtual race refueling. The Southwest Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash has so many levels of heat and layers of flavor, while being vegan! Sweet potato, guacamole, and chipotle cream come together for a hearty and satisfying dish!
DRINK
This week we are joined by one of the owners and the Director of Operations from Barrel of Monks Brewing, Kevin Abbott. Barrel of Monks brews Witty in Pink every October and donates to a local organization supporting those who battle cancer. Kevin sat down with us to talk about the inspiration behind this tasty brew. We found it at Total Wine at this time of year, luckily. Perfect finish line beverage!
You can find Barrel of Monks on Twitter, FaceBook, and Instagram as well as at www.barrelofmonks.com
THAT’S A WRAP! - Here’s hoping you are off to a great year in 2021!
Again, Kevin Abbott, we can’t thank you enough for being so generous with your time! We hope to see you again over in Boca Raton soon!
