Episode 145: Run Eat Drink Podcast Holiday Special!

RUN 

On a more serious note, we discuss Aimee’s surgery and where we go from here.  She’s hanging in there on the road back to recovery.  She starts physical therapy on Christmas Eve!  Wish her luck!  It will be tough, but we know it will be worth it!

On a happier note, it is Christmas week!  So we thought we’d talk about all the gifts running has brought into our lives, especially in 2020, that we are grateful for and will celebrate this holiday season.

Don’t forget the holiday virtual race we will be running on Christmas Day!  Run for A Claus, supporting the Salvation Army, is now closed, but If you had the chance to join our team, make sure you post pics and tag them with #runforaclaus,  @runforaclaus, #runcationnation, and @ocmarathon so we can share in a holiday celebration and virtual run together!   

EAT

Holiday meal traditions are near and dear to our hearts and bellies this week! So, we thought we’d celebrate them by talking about some of ours.  In addition, you all came through with some fantastic meal favorites so we share traditions from you as well!  Thanks, Runcation Nation!  We will be thinking of you as we eat one of our favorite new traditions from the last few years, Christmas Eve dinner from The Columbia Restaurant in Tampa!  

DRINK 

Eight-Foot Brewing here in Cape Coral had some tasty new releases this past weekend. So we decided to head to their Saturday event and try two of them.  Apple Cinnamon Doughnut made with apple, cinnamon, and marshmallow comes in at 11.4% ABV!  Plus it is served with a Fort Myers favorite Divine Doughnut!  Breakfast Stout was made with Maple Syrup and local Urban Buzz Coffee.  At 10%, this tasty stout was served with a quarter of a waffle and maple smoke!  We are so happy to have such creative minds in our local breweries.  Congratulations, Eight-Foot Brewing on two great releases! We can’t wait to try more.
