5th Anniversary Flashback RED Episode 164: Kathrine Switzer Fearless

It's our 5th Anniversary this month. As part of the celebration, we will post flashback episodes all month long to celebrate and say thank you. If it were not for you, our Runcation Nation community, we would not have had this show for the last five years, had some of the most amazing experiences, and created lasting friendships in this community.

Next up is part 2 of our interview with running icon Kathrine Switzer!

RUN 

Today, we share the second part of our interview with running icon Kathrine Switzer.  She is the first woman to register for and complete the Boston Marathon officially.  Her book, Marathon Woman, chronicles her life but is also full of laughter and lessons to be applied in all walks of life.  She is an inspiration and an activist for women in sports.  In this part of our interview, Kathrine answers patron questions, talks about 261 Fearless, and talks about her favorite food and beverage, too!

EAT

It’s Cinco De Mayo, and we hit one of our favorite local restaurants for some incredible Mexican food.  Mexico Lindo is here in Cape Coral.  We had table-side guacamole, a Ribeye Ala Mexicana, and Beef Tamales.  They were delicious!  This little place has excellent service and tasty entrees to celebrate this festive holiday.  Do you have a favorite place to celebrate Cinco De Mayo?  Let us know!  

DRINK

Mexico Lindo has an extensive cocktail menu and beer list. We ordered a super-sized Negra Modelo.  It is widely available and a malty and refreshing beer.  It was served with a wedge of lime and had no hoppy or bitter finish.  It came in two different sizes.  You know what they say.. go big or go home!  

If you choose to indulge, please drink responsibly by having a designated driver or taking a rideshare service. Stay safe, Runcation Nation!
