5th Anniversary Flashback RED Episode 185: Lessons from Marko Cheseto, Grizzly Dogs Food Truck, and King Street Brewing in Anchorage

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 an inspiring speech given by a great inspiration in the world of running and a world-record holder in the marathon distance for double amputees, Marko Cheseto!

RUN

While we were at the Anchorage RunFest, we met up with two inspirational figures in the running community: Marko Cheseto and Bart Yasso.  We heard Marko talk at the pasta feed on Saturday of the race weekend.  We think the lessons he spoke about are worth sharing, and we do so from a bit of audio we captured at the luncheon.  We discuss these lessons and what they mean to us in running and life.  (Please forgive the audio.  A fire alarm was going off for much of Marko’s speech.  His message is worth hearing, and hopefully, you can get past that to listen to the meaningful message.  Thank you for hanging in there, if you can.)

EAT

Grizzly Dogs Food Truck was outside King Street Brewing while we were in Anchorage for the Anchorage RunFest.  When we saw their menu, we couldn’t help but try their signature item, "The Grizzly Dog" for 10.00.  They chop a reindeer sausage and smother it with sautéed onions, peppers, and cheese sauce. Yum!  Other items on their menu piqued our interest, so… of course, we want to get back to it when we are in Anchorage again.  

DRINK

King Street Brewing is a huge space with tasty beer on the menu and a beautiful view of the mountains in Anchorage.  You can sample their beer from any three stories while you look over into the brewing facility or take a seat by a window and admire the beautiful Mountain View while having a cold one.  They have a wide variety of styles on their menu.  We talked about what we had while we were there.  We hope to get back to this neat space with many friendly beer tenders.  

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