RUN

You know we love Marvel-themed races!  Last summer, we did the RunDisney Virtual Race series celebrating 80 years of Marvel, and this year, thanks to a follower of the show, Kristin Ceneviva-Iovene, we found a race celebrating 80 years of Marvel for this summer.  It is a great virtual, and a portion of the proceeds support the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Peak Virtual Races is where she found this one, and they have some other great medals and themes to check out, too. It has a huge and colorful medal. You have to submit your time before they mail your medal.  It is a great thing because it was so hot out there this week, so it was a great motivator! 

Remember, if any of you are looking for a virtual race, we have a discount code for the Virtual Pace Series website to offer everyone in the Runcation Nation.  Use RUNEATDRINK10 at their website to get 10% any event!  

We are also gearing up for our RunDisney Virtual Race Series, so we talk about our first 5K in that series themed around the Mad Tea Party.  We are making plans to ensure it is full of Disney magic.  

EAT

We were able to get away to Clearwater, Florida this weekend and explore some local favorites. One is Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill.  It is one of three Frenchy’s locations on Clearwater Beach.  We decided to take in the view out on the porch overlooking the beach.  We got Tuna Nachos.  They were different from the Ahi Tuna Nachos we got from Kiki’s Sandbar on Little Torch Key in Episode 74.  House-made blue corn tortilla chips loaded with raw ahi tuna, eel sauce, gochujang sauce, avocado purée, pico de gallo, green onions, and fresh mangos.  A more Mexican take instead of the Asian version we had headed down to Key West, these tuna nachos were fresh and a big plate of tasty tuna atop of crunchy tortilla chips.  Perfect for sharing on the beach while relaxing after a run.  

DRINK

Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill has great beach-themed cocktails perfect for sipping while taking in the Florida summer sun.  One is called the Flip Flop Margarita. It has  Frenchy's Rockaway Exclusive Barrel Select Patrón Añejo Tequila, Patrón Citrónge Lime and Mango Liqueurs with sour mix ~ served tall on the rocks with a salted rim and lime.   It was different from some of the other margaritas we have featured on the show.  In episode 26, it was a Rose Margarita at the 2018 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.  Or on episode 53, it was the La Zia, a watermelon margarita from Sociale Italian Tapas + Pizza Bar.  It was the perfect beverage for sitting on the beach with your toes in the sand soaking up the weekend!
