RUN
We begin our seventh year with a tradition: Richard’s Father’s Day Family Walk / Jog at Uele in Tampa. This year we were lucky to have a team of six from the Runcation Nation, plus two who could not be with us yet still there in spirit. Dawn and Jessica, who planned to come but could not: we wish we could have had you there! To Kelly and Aden Anderson, Christy Van Allen, and Greg Elsberry, thank you for joining our team. Thank you to Michael Kilgore, retired but still organizing this event for the Colombia Restaurant Group, for allowing us to give away tickets to this great event!
This year, Richard Gonzmart, the race’s namesake, was there. We recap what he shared with us, the significant milestone reached on this tenth anniversary of the event, the course, the shirts, and the overall great feeling we come away with every year supporting a great place like Moffitt Cancer Center.
Find out more about this event and the Colombia Restaurant Group’s upcoming nighttime run, Richard’s Run for Life, through the streets of Ybor (including a great afterparty) in November here:

EAT
Ulele, a restaurant, and brewery full of connections to the rich history of Florida and Tampa, was our destination for this Father’s Day menu that we could not miss. We recap our meal, full of specials just from the specialty menu for Father’s Day. We might have had some from the regular menu, too!
If you are ever in Tampa, you must try this Florida fresh, and Native-American inspired menu. (We know this is not the drink segment, but we can’t help but also say, check out all of the brews created by Head Brewmaster Tim Shackton, too.)
Here’s a peek at the menu: https://ulele.com/wp-content/uploads/Ulele-menu.pdf
DRINK
This week, as we waited for our reservation at Ulele, we walked right next door to Armature Works and sampled a beverage that piqued our interest, the Buddy Brew Screw from the fine folks at Buddy Brew! Armature Works has plenty of food and beverage options, but we were after some coffee. Yes, we said it would never happen again, but we did this race without coffee and needed this unique boost we had never seen before! We will be back for more of their menu in the future!

THAT’S A WRAP!
