SHOUT OUTS 

Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for all your support and encouragement.  Because of you, we have been able to keep the show going over the last 18 months, and now that the races are returning, we look forward to meeting up with you, too!

RUN

First, we want to discuss a virtual race that is near and dear to our hearts.  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 Truckers Relief Fund and Koch Trucking.   These organizations work to support and show appreciation for many Truck Drivers across the United States.  Some of you are running distances as part of the virtual race to show love and support.  Others are choosing just to donate to these organizations.  Either way, we are so happy to share this race and hope you will check out these organizations and this race that honors Rob.  We will be running our miles during Truck Driver Appreciation Week (September 12 - September 18), which culminates in Rob’s birthday on the 18th.

We love and miss Rob with all our hearts.  He was one of the earliest and biggest supporters of our show.  We look forward to honoring him 

Everyone who is a long-time listener knows we started the 75 Hard on June 1st. On this episode, we discuss our progress as we head to Day 75 plus training updates.

We also talk about how we are heading into some amazing travel this month and can’t wait!   We are returning to a couple of races because we want to see their comeback after Covid and support them. These races are near and dear to our hearts for more than one reason, and we can’t wait to celebrate their triumphant return. 

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.  The English sandwich is breakfast perfection with GOAT CHEESE and arugula.   If you are in Tampa during a race weekend and happen to get into town early enough to be there on a Friday morning or are looking for a way to put a bow on an amazing weekend with a breakfast that is out of this world, get to Yolk White & Associates.  

DRINK

Datz in Tampa has been a favorite in our family for many years.  We’ve even talked about it in the days of the show when we were a video podcast on Episode 23 and Quick Bite 31 for both great food and delicious drinks!    This time we return for one of Aimee’s favorite flavors and Dana’s favorite bourbon beverage, a Salted Caramel Old Fashioned.  

NEXT WEEK:  It’s a return to The Tampa Beer Run and some tasty food and beverage from Dana’s hometown! 

THAT’S A WRAP!
