RED Episode #108: Top Run Virtual Challenge, Part 1 of our Talk with Ray Cronise and Julieanna Hever, Authors of the Healthspan Solution, & Southern Tier Hot Cocoa Imperial Nitro Stout

RUN

In this run segment, we talk about a virtual race challenge we are starting this week.  We grew up in the 80’s and we love so many movies from that decade.  So when the Virtual Pace Series website introduced the Top Gun Challenge, and we saw the medal, we knew we had to do it.  While you can complete a 5k, 10k, or half, they offer the challenge of completing all three.  It is a great bib and a great medal, so we decided to do all three distances, and we started this week with the 5k, while reminiscing about classic scenes from this 1980’s hit and listening to its soundtrack during the run from Apple Music.    

EAT

We have been cooking from The Healthspan Solution by Ray Cronise and Julieanna Hever.    This week it is time to hear the first part of their interview.  Ray and Julieanna were so generous with their time. In this portion of our talk with them, they gave us such great information about the foundation of their book and how they got started in the field of plant-based eating and why it helps people “add life to their years.”  Their book has great recipes that are plant-based and flavorful!  And you can absolutely add protein while increasing the nutrient-dense content in your meals without sacrificing flavor. 

You can get the hardback version of the book here or the Kindle version by clicking here.

And if you want to hear more from Ray and Julieanna, check out their podcast, Science and Saucery.  

DRINK

This week we were a part of a local event called the #southcapetakeoutweekend2020 that was hosted to support local restaurants and breweries in an effort to showcase their contactless curbside and delivery options.  We wanted to support them and help keep them going while following all safety protocols, so that when we come through this there are still the great places we know and love locally that we can explore and indulge.  One local establishment that we have actually done some live video from and celebrated the first year of our podcast from is No. 3 Craft Brews.  They are a local beer bar and bottle shop providing some unique offerings that you can’t get everywhere. One such offering is the Southern Tier Nitro Hot Cocoa Imperial Milk Stout at 10% ABV.  With chocolate and marshmallow flavors, it could be a dessert by itself!

THAT’S A WRAP!
