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!

Jessica Lynn O’Keefe (@harleyrunninggal on Instagram) and JoJo (@positivelypoly1 on Instagram) ran in Savannah this past weekend! They both completed the Rock N Roll half marathon and JoJo ran in costume as “The Hulk” for St. Jude.

Susie Beck completed her Historic Drawbridge Half!

Fun-Sized Jennifer Hall (@itsmefsj) & James Miller (@jamesmillerluvs2run)  completed the OC Orange Crush - 5K and Half!

There were so many with us at Wine and Dine - Robert Ontiveros and Family,  Meg and Brian (@MainstreetMilesMeg), Ana (@anarunsocoffee), Mike Rahlmann of BOGP fame, and so many more.  We tried to catch all of you on social media.  To everyone who ran this weekend, congratulations!  Didn’t it feel good to be back!?

RUN

Wine and Dine Race Weekend returned… LIVE!  This year, as Aimee focuses on shorter distances, we opted to run the 5K and 10K, so we created our own sort of challenge.  Dana likes to call it the Charcuterie Challenge… what do you think?  This week, we talk about the 5K race distance, the expo, the race course, swag, and medal.  We are so happy the races have returned! 

Stay tuned for more about the races when we talk about the 10K next week!

EAT

The 2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is back, too! We sought out all the vegan options this year, and there were some tasty treats!  We recorded our reactions as we tasted each dish.  This week, we play it back and chat about our experiences over the weekend.  This week we highlight offerings from the Earth Eats and Noodle Exchange.

DRINK

The 2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival had lots of beverages to try!  We steered toward the non-alcoholic variety because of the #75Hard challenge, of course!  We talk about offerings from the festival that are non-alcoholic plus our beverage from the event at the Earth Eats booth.  We can’t wait to get back and try some beer, wine, and cocktails next year!

THAT’S A WRAP!
