RUN
Today, we share with you the second 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. In this part of our interview, Kathrine answers patron questions, talks about 261 Fearless, and we talk about her favorite food and beverage, too!

EAT
It’s Cinco De Mayo and we hit one of our favorite local restaurants for some incredible Mexican food. Mexico Lindo is here in Cape Coral. We had table-side guacamole, a Ribeye Ala Mexicana, and Beef Tamales. They were delicious! This little place has great service and tasty entrees to celebrate this festive holiday. Do you have a favorite place to go celebrate Cinco De Mayo? Let us know!
DRINK
Mexico Lindo has an extensive cocktail menu and beer list. We got a super-sized beer from their menu. We had Negra Modelo. It is widely available and a malty and refreshing beer. Served with a wedge of lime, and had no hoppy or bitter finish. It came in two different sizes. You know what they say.. go big or go home!
THAT’S A WRAP! - Here’s hoping you are off to a great year in 2021!
