Send us a textRUNIn this episode, we feature the Southernmost Half Marathon.  We chose this race because our training schedule called for 12.5 miles this weekend and we thought, "Why not run it in Key West?"  Who wouldn't want to see the beautiful sunrise on the Southernmost Point of the United States.  It was humid and hot, but a beautiful course and friendly people.  It was also held on the same course as a full marathon.  The time limit was set to 6-hours for both races, so we thought it would be a no-pressure training run.  The only thing we forgot to bring was our Night Tech Gear shoe lights because we started so early and we were unfamiliar with the course (next time!).  We were thankful to have our Sqoosh to wipe away sweat during the race, and we needed to remember to hydrate and get electrolytes efficiently both before and during the race.  It felt like it was still at the height of the heat and humidity of Florida summer.  So anyone running this one as a first half marathon will love the longer time limit but should remember to stay hydrated, even when starting while it is still dark outside. EATAs a post-race celebration, we had DJ's Clam Shack on Duval Street in Key West.  Clam strips and conch fritters are amazing there!  We bragged about it so much that a friend of ours who went to Key West the very next weekend had the lobster roll and said he had died and gone to lobster heaven!DRINKWe had local beer to toast our accomplishment from Islamorada Beer Company while at  DJ's Clam Shack.  It was Sandbar Sunday and it did not disappoint as a light and easy-drinking beer to toast completing our training run!   Yes, we had other beers at Islamorada Beer Company when we stopped there, so we tried one that we did not have as part of our flight in our Quick Bite.  It was glorious after run-walk-running 13.1 miles! THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

Send us a textRUNIn this episode, we run the Walk Like MADD 5K Dash to help support Mothers Against Drunk Driving here in Southwest Florida.  The race was very inexpensive and supports a great community organization trying to help get the word out about being safe and never mixing drinking and driving.  We ran as part of a team for Dana with the Cape Coral Police Department.  It was hot and humid but we had a water stop and plenty of friendly people to walk and run with during the 5K.  The course was flat and took us by Gateway Charter Elementary, Middle and High School.  My dad was principal at Gateway Charter High, so we enjoyed seeing his old stomping grounds!  It was cute medal and best of all, the finish line was crossing home plate at Jet Blue Park, home of Boston Red Sox Spring Training.We talked with Lori Burke from MADD about what this organization does to help support victims and survivors of drunk or drugged driving incidents.  In addition, they also provide education to our community about ways to avoid these tragic incidents. We like to have a cold beer to celebrate the completion of a race as much as anyone, but the key, as Lori put it so perfectly, is to have a plan so that drinking and driving don’t mix.  We always do and encourage all our viewers to designate a driver, plan on an Uber or Lyft, or eliminate alcohol from any evening out.  Preparation is key.  If you can, come out next year and run or walk to help support their efforts, we highly recommend this race.   EATThen we went to Artisan Eatery for a fantastic brunch.  This is small eatery that has been open less than a year, but back in February was ranked as one of the top 25 restaurants in the News Press.  It is a little place with a feeling of home in between our main highway (US 41) and the Southwest Florida International Airport.  We had the Pastrami Hash from the regular menu and we saw two specials on the board that caught our eyes, the muffuletta and the Key Lime French Toast.  They were all amazing!  We will return.  You should check it out!DRINKAt the race, we got to talk to Brian Abernathy, Master Roaster from Grumpy Goat Coffee.  If you follow our social media, you know we love coffee so much we post about it everyday!  It was great to find a local roaster offering high quality coffee through their website and to learn about what makes their coffee so good!  We should have had smell-o-vision!  THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

The presentation alone is worth ordering them,but the taste is "off the hook" as Guy might say!DRINKWe washed those nachos down with one of our favorite beers made in Kentucky, the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale from AllTech. Aged in Bourbon Barrels, it has between 7-9% ABV and a caramel goodness and color.  Not too sweet and no bitter finish.  One of our favorites anywhere we go!Thank you for hanging in there with us, even though plans changed after Bourbon and Beyond was canceled in the interest of safety for everyone.  We hope you'll try Guy's amazing restaurant!  We wanted to get so much more there!  The meatloaf looked incredible and the Pit Ends Chili sounded tasty, too!THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

Send us a textWelcome to Louisville, Kentucky! We are here to run a race that supports the Navy Seals Foundation and attend the  Bourbon and Beyond Festival!RUN In this episode, we run the Joggin for Frogmen 5K to benefit the Navy Seals Foundation on Saturday.    It was at South Oldham High School in Crestwood, not too far outside Louisville.  The weather was awesome and the course was almost entirely on the high school campus.  It was mainly flat and it is an inexpensive race that everyone can run or walk and feel inspired knowing they are supporting a great cause.  We talk to the media manager for the event, Steve Watkins, who is also a former Navy Seal, and he tells us about the foundation and what it does for families of Navy Seals as well as Navy Seals themselves.EATWe got to the Bourbon and Beyond Festival on the first day with a plan to research and prepare to film our food segments on the second day of the festival.  We saw lots of local eats and we talked to several people at many booths.  We were exited.  I can tell you Island Noodles were tasty... we wish we had filmed some segments on Saturday.DRINKWe tried many cocktails as part of the Jefferson’s Reserve.VIP Lounge Area.  The Jefferson’s Airplane was a great cocktail that was part of our VIP experience.  The Old Fashioned they made us was also awesome.  We wanted to bring you so many of the offerings from the local distilleries as well.    We should have filmed everything we tried that day because....THE WEATHER HAD OTHER PLANS...It started raining like cats and dogs and we took shelter as we watched great musical acts like Keb Mo’ Sheryl Crow, and Lenny Kravitz.  At the end of the night, we made our way to get picked up at the Uber / Lyft shared ride location.  It was ankle-deep mud because of the rain and it was difficult for many to exit the park.  The city declared the park unsafe and canceled day two. We understood.  Safety is always the top priority.We also knew we had to change course so we could bring you some of what Louisville has to offer should you come here to run a race or visit for an awesome vacation.We decided to go on a couple of distillery tours and to a couple of restaurants, so we will bring you those in future Quick Bites.Thank you for hanging in there with us, even though plans changed in the interest of safety for everyone. THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

We got a free entry for it because we volunteered at the water stop in a 5K for 3D Racing, a local organization that helps certify courses and time races, earlier this summer.  Rachel, the owner of our local running store, The Run Shoppe, and the one who helped us find the right shoes almost 9 years ago when we started running, heads up that organization as well.  Can’t beat that, right?  The course was flat and shady, which can help us during those long, hot, and humid summer months in Florida.  It was also the second half of our long training run. We got up early in the morning and did 3.4 miles in the neighborhood before the race, so we could get our full 6.5 miles from the training schedule for the Wine and Dine 2-Course Challenge. EATWe ate delicious ribs after the race!  Normally, we feature a restaurant where you might be able to go and explore some local food.  This episode is a bit different because we headed to No. 3 Craft Brews to help support a fundraiser for a local firefighter who lost his life earlier this summer. No. 3 collaborates with local food trucks to bring together great beer and food, so, while this particular food item was not something that is normally here, usually, on a weekend, you can find something great in the world of local food trucks to explore here.  We hope these ribs make a repeat appearance because they were meaty, smokey, and cooked perfectly!DRINKNo. 3 Craft Brews collaborated with No. 3 Craft Brews or GoFundMe page set up to help support his family.THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

Send us a textRUNIt's 4th of July! Happy Independence Day to the United States of America!  We ran the Freedom 5K sponsored by the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce in our hometown to celebrate.  It was the first time we ever ran this 5K.  Be prepared for hills if you run this one!  You traverse the Cape Coral Bridge twice and part of an overpass in Fort Myers.  But it is a great view and watching the sunrise over the water while running to celebrate July 4th is an amazing way to start the day.  Just a pro tip:  Try to do packet pickup prior to race day as lines the morning of the race can be a bit long.  Parking is also at a premium, so we recommend getting there as early as possible.  We tried to get there an hour before the race in order to find parking (about a half mile away from the start) and pick up bibs. EATWe went to a newer restaurant in Cape Coral to have some post-race brunch. Gather is nestled in Tarpon Point at the Westin Resort in Cape Coral.  The view of the water as you eat and drink here is beautiful.  We had a pancake and corned beef and hash.  It was mouthwatering goodness all the way to the last bite! DRINKGather always has local beer on tap. Scotty's Bierwerks is right in Cape Coral.  They make a Hefe that is light, not hoppy and not overly carbonated.  With a low ABV and subtle flavors of coriander and orange, it was a perfect post-run beer. THAT’S A WRAPThank you for watching!

Black Sheep in the historic Five Points District of Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood.  They are focused on creating delicious dishes using local ingredients.  We took time to talk with Executive Chef Waylon Rivers about what makes this restaurant special.  We featured his pasta dish in RED Episode #20 but he also gave us a great recommendation for a celebratory drink. DRINK Black Sheep is home to some eclectic cocktails and Waylon's recommendation was their version of a whiskey sour called the Dusty Boot.  I could have had 3 or 4 of those to celebrate completing our races.   THAT’S A WRAP!Thanks for watching!  Please subscribe and rate us in iTunes.

Send us a textRUNLast July, we went to Boca Raton to run the Levis JCC Run, Sweat, and Beers Race. We stumbled upon a great race.  It was on a Thursday, and that was the day I had off from work, and it was to support a community organization, so that is why we decided to go.  But we discovered a great organization, a well-organized run, and a great brewery at the after party.  So we registered for their inaugural Sprint and Sip, which was originally scheduled for September.  Hurricane Irma forced it to be postponed until March 2018. It is a great little nighttime race series, all contained within a park, and with beer at the after party.    This time, we got great little medals that double as bottle openers!  If you are in Boca Raton, check these little races out. EATThe reason I got so fascinated with this restaurant was that their logo looked like a comic book and caught my eye, but the food is so delicious at Kapow Noodle Bar.  The mural inside is beautiful and the food is next level.  We tried the Singapore Street Noodles. Their curry flavor and pork belly make me wish I could have it all over again as I write these show notes.  Mouthwatering goodness! DRINKBarrel of Monks Brewery is nestled in a little industrial park, but the vibe inside is comfortable with great lighting and barrels mounted on walls.  Swag that pays tribute to classic 80’s movies and video games is the icing on the cake.  The beer is so tasty.  We tried the Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Den of Sins.  Amazing! THAT’S A WRAP!Thanks for watching!  Please subscribe and rate us in iTunes.

Send us a textRUNLast June, we launched our podcast, and the first run we ever featured was  the Tampa Beer Run.  A link to the first episode is here.  Tampa Beer Run  is not only special because it was our first, but because it benefits My Hope Chest, which helps those recovering from breast cancer with reconstructive surgery costs.  This was a great run in Al Lopez Park and with 4 different beer stops featuring samples from local Florida breweries and one from Georgia.  Don't forget about My Hope Chest’s upcoming GloWalk in April, too, which will be a great time running through the historic Tampa RiverWalk at night!  EATDatz is a great place to eat in the Tampa area, only blocks from Bayshore Boulevard, a beautiful stretch of sidewalk, maybe even the longest in Florida, where you can look out over the beautiful Tampa Bay and where we ran Gasparilla in February. Datz features classic comfort food with a twist, has a great brunch menu, and some creative cocktails as well as an outstanding beer list.DRINKOn the run, there were four beer stops featuring the following brews:#1 Terrapin Hi 5 (IPA)#2 Coppertail Unholy#3 Motorworks Cruiser Kölsch#4 Six Ten Tent Beer LagerOur favorites were the Motorworks and the Six Ten.  We can’t wait to have them again.At Datz we had a great cocktail featuring coffee and a powdered doughnut as a garnish!

Kojak’s House of Ribs.  A South Tampa staple since 1978 and a recommendation coming directly from my camera man, who was born and raised there, Kojak’s ribs are a must when in Tampa.DRINKWe headed to Tampa Bay Brewing Company to try a flight of locally brewed beer.  TBBC is in the heart of Ybor City in Tampa, which has a lot of interesting hot spots.  What did we drink to celebrate the completion of our Treasured Chest Challenge?  A flight, of course!THAT’S A WRAP!Thanks for watching!  Please subscribe and rate us in iTunes.

Black Sheep in the historic Five Points District of Jacksonville’s Riverside neighborhood.  They are focused on creating delicious dishes using local ingredients.  We took time to talk with Executive Chef Waylon Rivers about what makes this restaurant special and then we sampled an amazing pasta dish, Spaghetti a'la  Chitarra.  Winter squash, pecorino, garlic, sage, rosemary, and sunflower seeds make this a mouthwatering must have! DRINKIntuition Ale Works is a great brewery in Jacksonville.  We got the inside scoop from Bronson Olympia, a Tap Room Manager there.  (They also serve appetizers, small plates, and sandwiches from Black Sheep!)  We recommend the Jon Boat Coastal Ale as a lighter brew perfect for a hot day or our personal favorite, the Underdark is an Imperial  / Double Stout that is aged in Willet Rye Barrels for a year and only released in February.  So lucky we were there! THAT’S A WRAP!Thanks for watching!  Please subscribe and rate us in iTunes.
