RUN
Today, we share with you the first part of our interview with running icon Kathrine Switzer. She is the first woman to officially register for and complete the Boston Marathon. Her book, Marathon Woman, chronicles her life, but is also full of laughter and lessons to be applied in all walks of life. She is an inspiration and an activist for women in sports. We discuss her discovery of running, her book, and her historic run at Boston in this first part of our conversation in this episode.

EAT
To celebrate the honor and privilege it is to interview running royalty, we went to a tasty local Tiki spot. Jungle Bird Tiki is here in Cape Coral. We explore two different dishes from the small plates menu. Think of this as a Tiki Surf and Turf. These two dishes were amazing. Crab Wonton Dip and Beef Carpaccio have a Tiki flare here and so many layers of flavor. You want these dishes. You want to have more of this menu. You want to experience the environment in this restaurant, too.
DRINK
Jungle Bird Tiki also had creative and tasty takes on Tiki cocktails… How could we say no?
These libations pack a punch that can sneak up on you. Jungle Bird Tiki has classic Tiki cocktails but also House Tiki beverages. We started with specialities of the house. The Mississippi Hog and the Banana Hammock transport you to a tropical and relaxing state of mind at this place. If you come visit us, you should check out Jungle Bird Tiki.
