RUN 

This week we talk training updates now that we are at the halfway point in the 5K Program that Dana is running.  We talk about the ratios we selected, how the weather has and will impact us (ring that bell!), and how we plan to celebrate the culmination of that program.

EAT

Kojak’s House of Ribs is a piece of Tampa history.  This week, when we heard that it would be closing its doors after 43 years, we had to reclaim it.  We talk about the first time we went there after the Gasparilla Half Marathon in Episode 22 of our show, the nostalgia, the place, and the food as Tampa says goodbye to a staple that will be gone but not forgotten. Pro tip:  Get the Ribs!  I mean, it’s what’s in the name, right?

DRINK

Ulele Spring Brewery is attached to the Ulele Restaurant we have had on the show in the past.  This week, we stopped by, and we had to get one of our favorites that had been barrel-aged!  The Wedding Beer has been highlighted in the past when we chatted with Brewmaster Tim Shackton.  That was back on Episode 32.  This time around, we have the classic and the Barely Tanked, which is a Bowman Barrel-Aged version of the Wedding Beer at Ulele, and talk about the subtle differences the aging process brings to the beer.  What a great stop along the Tampa Riverwalk!  

THAT’S A WRAP! - Here’s hoping you are off to a great year in 2021!
