RUN

Shamrock Marathon Weekend in Virginia Beach was a great race.  We were lucky enough to meet up with fellow podcasters, have dinner with a great member of the Runcation Nation we met through the Extra Mile Podcast group on Facebook, and run a PR in the 8K since our last attempt at Gasparilla Distance Classic.  At the expo, we had a surprise, Bart Yasso!!  He announced our race as well.  He is famous for his work at Runner’s World and the Yasso 800s.  You may have heard him on our show on Episodes 154, 155, 156, and 187 when we returned to the Anchorage RunFest and got to sit down with him in person.  

EAT

Chix on the Beach was right next door to our hotel.  It had a fantastic beach view from its patio, tasty seafood, and excellent service!  We had the She Crab Soup, Crab Dip, and a Steamer of shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes.  We finished the meal with Key Lime Pie.  Shout out to Samantha, our server, who was patient on a night when the restaurant was at capacity, thorough, kind, and had excellent recommendations from the menu throughout the entire meal.  If you get a chance to run this race weekend, stay on the beach and try this place out.  We strongly encourage you to call and make a reservation because this is one happening spot!  

DRINK

Smartmouth Brewing Company was a great time with the Will Run For Podcast crew.  They have a theme that captured our hearts.  While we only had their nonalcoholic offering, Jimmy’s Grandpappy’s Sparkling Lemonade, our fellow podcast hosts tried some tasty offerings from Smartmouth like Relinquish My Waffle Brown Ale and Safety Dance German Pilsner.  We can’t wait to return to this Virginia Beach location and try both during next year's race weekend. The crew said they were mighty tasty!  

THAT’S A WRAP!
