Episode 159: A Live TRAIL Run?
RUN
It’s our first trail run! Okay, a portion of this 5k was on a trail at our local Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium. We were excited to participate in a local and live 5K. The inaugural Run for the Youth 5K to benefit the Sheriff's Youth Activity League was held last Saturday and raised around $7000 to support youth programs. The race kicked off at 7:30AM with a member of the Runcation Nation, Jessica, singing the National Anthem beautifully. Then we were off on a paved road that led to a well-marked trail on the closed course at the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium. Aimee was still walking, but we finished with the help of members of the Runcation Nation cheering us on through Instagram and on the course, too!
EAT
“bullig” Coffee & Bites is a local breakfast spot a hop, skip, and jump away from our race finish in Fort Myers. We got it on good authority - from an American Ninja Warrior, Morgan “the Moose” Wright- that this was the place to check out. We got two huge breakfast sandwiches, one with house-made hollandaise and one with house-made pimento cheese, both on house-made waffles… so savory and flavorful. You know a place is legit when hollandaise comes in a separate cup that looks it is meant for a small coffee.
DRINK
“bullig” Coffee & Bites is also known for its beverages. Aimee got the Herschel, which is a cocoa latte with pecans, caramel, and marshmallows on top. Dana got the Dirty Bee, an Espresso Chai Inspired Latte with Honey. All we can say is… these drinks could be meals all by themselves. They were full of flavor and a great way to celebrate getting some miles in on a Saturday!
