RUN

This week we recap our September race. Earlier this month, we completed the Great Smoky Mountains 5K in Townsend, Tennessee. The packet pickup was great, and the Expo had beautiful swag. The race had a safe and well-directed neighborhood path. The medal and post-race snacks were great. The best part, though? We did it with a member of the Runcation Nation no less, Tina! Congratulations to Tina for completing her first live and in-person 5K race. She crushed it, and we couldn’t be happier to say that we were lucky enough to be a part of it! Can’t wait to get back to this beautiful part of the country! Gatlinburg and Townsend are beautiful and full of places we want to explore in the future!

EAT

We ate a classic Steakhouse dinner to celebrate the accomplishment that was within walking distance of our hotel in Gatlinburg, The Peddler Steakhouse. It reminded me of some of the great places our families used to take us as kids on special occasions. We started with an appetizer of fried mushrooms and cauliflower with honey mustard. With a salad bar and tasty steak entrees that were too tempting to pass up, we got a Prime Rib and Ribeye to try with loaded baked potatoes. The shrimp, salmon, and chicken dishes looked like winners, too.

DRINK

We toasted our accomplishment at Gatlinburg Brewing Company. Each one of us had a flight and recorded our reactions right inside this brewery located right in the heart of all the happenings that draw vacationers to Gatlinburg. There was an eclectic collection of original brews plus some guest taps, too. Everyone was friendly and there was entertaining live music, too.

THAT’S A WRAP!

This week we ran our We Love Truckers (Rob Nadeau Memorial) Virtual Race. It is a virtual race of a variety of distances honoring the life of one of our own lost too soon, Rob Nadeau. It supports organizations that he wanted to highlight and help, St. Christopher's Trucker Relief Fund and Koch Trucking. These organizations work to support and show appreciation for many Truck Drivers across the United States. We ran our miles at the beautiful Laurel Falls Trail in Tennessee during Truck Driver Appreciation Week (September 12 - September 18). This week culminated in Rob’s birthday on the 18th.

This was our first ever trail walk or hike. We saw so many beautiful sights that Rob would have loved and learned some important life lessons along the way. We recap them on this episode.

We love and miss Rob with all our hearts. He was one of the earliest and biggest supporters of our show. We are so glad to honor him this week.

EAT

Bennett’s Pit BBQ was right around the corner from our hotel in Gatlinburg. Sam was a great host and server in the last hour they were open because we were rather late getting there after our race. This place has amazing BBQ and we got to sample it fresh off the smoker the same day plus have a unique appetizer we have never seen before! We break it all down on this episode. If you are in Gatlinburg, give them a visit! They also have a location in Pigeon Forge, too!

DRINK

Bennett’s Pit BBQ also highlights local moonshine on its cocktail menu. We had watermelon and sweet tea cocktails featuring Ole Smoky Moonshine. They were so flavorful and potent! We highly recommend these from their menu!

RUN

Welcome to Anchorage RunFest! We recap Saturday’s events on our trip this week, including the Expo and the Anchorage Mile. The Anchorage Mile events included a Women’s, Men’s, Military, and Community Mile that went off throughout the morning. We had a great time running the flat course that looped 1.5 times around a great park where an outdoor post-race event was held with tents set up with games for kids, a truck serving coffee, post-race pizza, and a hunting safety tips tent was set up. Then we got the honor and privilege to hear Bart Yasso and World Record Holder for Double Amputees in the Marathon. Marko Cheseto motivate us and provide us with wisdom ahead of the longer races on Sunday. Such great events to start the weekend off right! We will recap our 5K experience on next week’s episode, so stay tuned for more about this incredible weekend. It is our first back-to-live racing and traveling out of the state… can you tell we are excited?

EAT

Simon and Seafort’s was our celebratory meal after all the running was done in Alaska. It was amazing. Pro tip: make a reservation! If you are craving a classic steakhouse experience or a place to get authentic and delicious Alaskan King Crab when it is hard to come by, get to Simon and Seafort’s. Their ribeye is incredible, too!

DRINK

The last time we were in Anchorage, we explored some outstanding breweries. This time, we decided to indulge in amazing beverages from Anchorage Distillery. We had a Ghost Pepper Caesar and a Pickle Rick, but we did not stop there. We also had a Porch Swing and a Barbie Girl. Listen to the episode to discover who ordered what… And if you are ever in Anchorage, check out Anchorage Distillery!

We talk about running this final race on Walt Disney World property at Coronado Springs Resort. It was a great experience and a beautiful setting for us to earn this beautiful medal! We even got a character stop, too!

EAT

We have heard amazing things about the breakfast at Kona Cafe at The Polynesian Resort. We were able to snag a reservation this trip to see what the famous Tonga Toast was all about. But we were also able to sample a hidden plant-based gem in the Loco Moco. In addition, we got some great side dishes, too!

DRINK

Kona Cafe has great beverages at breakfast, too! Dana sampled the Freshly Brewed Joffrey's Coffee™ Hawaiian Kona Maragogype Press Pot. Aimee talks about the flavorful Wasabi Bloody Mary. Whether going for an alcoholic or non-alcoholic option, they are satisfying options!

RUN

The Tampa Beer Run is the first-ever run we covered on our show. So when it returned, we had to come back to run. There are four beer stops on the course, which is enclosed inside Al Lopez Park in Tampa. It is always a great time with great people to meet and delicious local beers on the course. The medal? Your pint glass. Your shirt? Always a unique color, this year a light blue. This race never disappoints.

This run has supported many worthwhile causes, and this year is no exception. Tampa Bay Humane Society was the charity, and the volunteers who were at the beer stops were so eager to appreciate runners and talk about their organization with fellow dog lovers on the course.

EAT

The Tampa Beer Run not only had post-run beer for sale through the Beer-Bu-Lance but had a great local food truck with flavorful BBQ we could smell cooking while we were still on the course running! Sue-Pig BBQ LLC was there to satisfy our BBQ craving, and it was everything we wanted and more. Dana had to try the BBQ because Aimee was still on the #75Hard. Aimee got to have the vegan offering from the truck: French Fries. Both were glorious! Check them out on FaceBook and at their website!

DRINK

Tampa Beer Run had beer stops, and Dana sampled all of the beer on the course! They all came from local breweries, including:

The following beers were on the course:

Beer stop #:

#1 - Coppertail: Free Dive - IPA

#2 - Motorworks: V-Twin - Vienna Lager

#3 - Big Storm: Tropic Pressure - Golden Ale

#4 - Flying Boat Brewery: St. Pete Sunset - Juicy IPA & Crescent Lake - Pilsner

Dana’s favorite? The V-Twin Vienna Lager! This race never disappoints as far as expanding our palettes and getting us some favorites, too!

EAT

The Boozy Pig is a place in Tampa we have been trying to get to since the spring. We met up with one of our patrons, John Schroeder, and had brunch there. Steak Frites, a Breakfast Cuban, Charcuterie, and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes… there is something for everyone from sweet to savory! We had leftovers fit for a king, but we had to sample multiple items, and they were all full of mouthwatering goodness you have to try! We can’t wait to get back to this place again. Their staff is so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is rustic and authentic. The Boozy Pig is a winner if you are visiting the Tampa area.

DRINK

The Boozy Pig has a fantastic Cafe Con Leche. We enjoyed it so much with our brunch items. You can order this or orange juice and bring your own alcohol to put in these items, if you wish! It’s BYOA!

We brought the bourbon that Dana selected to celebrate the end of the #75Hard challenge with, Iron Smoke Casket Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey to enjoy in our Cafe Con Leche. It was a recommendation from one of his coworkers that did not disappoint!

EAT

Yolk White & Associates is a food truck based on the Tampa Riverwalk. Normally, we are on the Tampa Riverwalk on the weekend or a holiday like Christmas, but we had the chance to be there during the week this past spring, so we discovered this food truck, and boy are we happy we did! The breakfast is AMAZING! This is the “little food truck that could” in our book. Cajun Frittata… mouthwatering and spicy goodness.

We ran a virtual right here at home ahead of the busy travel month of August. This week, we discuss completing Medal Chasers Daywalker Blade 5K celebrating the character Blade from the movies of the same name. The medal was such a great design, as always! We love what Kristina and Bill do at Medal Chasers. We were so excited to do this race to support Shriners Hospital for Children, too.

EAT

This week we highlight a plant-based breakfast option on the Walt Disney World property. We had the opportunity to go to Ale & Compass at the Yacht Club Resort. The theming in the restaurant and the resort is nautical and so relaxing. This plant-based option was a huge breakfast entree and very flavorful. We breakdown each part of the dish that we both had and thoroughly enjoyed while staying on our 75 Hard program.

DRINK

Flashing back to Ale & Compass inspired us to create recipes for breakfast and brunch mocktails. We found a website, www.mixthatdrink.com, and took inspiration from a recipe for the Bella Bellini there but tweaked the recipe to suit our palates. From there, we were inspired to create faux-mosas, too. Now we just need to recreate the amazing meal from Ale & Compass to go with them all!

Here are our recipes below. If you try them, let us know how you like the combinations!

Peach Bellini

2 oz peach purée

1 oz mineral water

3 oz sparkling grape juice

Mimosa using OJ

1/2 OJ

1/2 sparkling grape juice

Mimosa using Grapefruit Juice

3 oz grapefruit juice

1 oz mineral water

Then we share training updates and what’s next in his live training runs with all of you. Is it a 10K program or a faster 5K program? Either way, we hope you will join him on the live runs starting again next month!

EAT

Skipper Canteen in the Magic Kingdom has great vegan options we explored when we traveled to Disney last month. We had a great appetizer and two entrees that were completely plant-based dishes and delicious! If you get a chance to visit this gem in the Magic Kingdom, do it. The food is tasty, the cast members are so in-character, and the atmosphere makes you want to go on the Jungle Cruise right after your meal!

DRINK

Skipper Canteen has non-alcoholic and fun beverage options to explore! We had the Punch Line Punch. It was quite tasty. There is also a Schweitzer Slush that looks fun, but we weren’t sure it was all plant-based, so we stuck with the tasty punch! When we can have cocktails again, we look forward to having the Jungle Navigation Co. Shandy or the House-made Sangria! Skipper Canteen has great beverages to try while enjoying the Magic Kingdom in Orlando.

NEXT WEEK: We recap our next virtual in the Anti-Hero series from Medal Chasers and a great spot for plant-based breakfast options at Walt Disney World.

We took a virtual up to Orlando with us and decided to explore new areas of the Disney property that we had not seen before. This week, we discuss completing Medal Chasers Guardians on the Run 5K celebrating the character Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy. He is one of our favorite characters, which is one of our favorite Marvel movies, too! We were so excited to do this race to support Shriners Hospital for Children. Perfect timing for this race series to get kicked off because we met up with Bill and Kristina from Medal Chasers.

EAT

While in Orlando, we met up with Pam and Ariel from Pure Creative Apparel. They introduced us to an amazing place focused on tasty comfort food that is all vegan! It’s Ethos Vegan Kitchen located in Winter Park, Florida. It is just outside Orlando, where Aimee lived when she went to the University of Central Florida in her college days! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. We had amazingly tasty breakfast options. We break down their breakfast burrito, their pancakes, and even a bonus that is not breakfast - the garlic knots! We can’t wait to go back and have other tasty dishes!

DRINK

For the beverage portion of our show, we return home and visit The Apothecary located inside Millennial Brewing in Fort Myers. Why? Because on the 75 Hard Challenge, we are, of course, not having alcohol. This means we need to get creative with our beverages to be a bit indulgent but still be good to ourselves while we refrain from alcohol. We had their hard root beer in a cocktail special, a Hard Root Beer Float. These cocktails have 0-Proof Whiskey in them, and we confirmed with the staff that they are 100% vegan; even the “garnish” of coconut ice cream was too!

NEXT WEEK: We recap our next virtual in the Anti-Hero series from Medal Chasers and a great spot for plant-based options in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
