RUN This week, it was time for a long run. Aimee talks about challenges with the motivation to get it done. It is also a week to talk about taking it easy around an injury and not overdo it. Dana talks about how to get it done with a busy work schedule. He also updates us on his testing of his latest training tool. We also discuss the latest in a series of races to convert to virtual: Walt Disney World Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend. Which races are next? Should we write off 2020 all together? Does that mean Marathon Weekend 2021 is in jeopardy? Will smaller, local races still happen? Have you seen any or run any smaller races? Only time will tell... EAT This week we wanted to feature a recipe we discovered in The Healthspan Solution that will help us stay on track with our training. Big flavors are a hallmark of Indian cooking and we needed some this week, so we made Chana Masala. It is a hearty and flavorful stew served over rice. It is really not hard to make and has the spice we were craving. We featured the The Healthspan Solution on episode 108 and 109 as well, when we were lucky enough to talk with authors Julieanna Hever and Ray Cronise. It has become a cornerstone of our cooking at home. The Healthspan Solution has great recipes that are plant-based and flavorful! And you can absolutely add protein while increasing the nutrient-dense content in your meals without sacrificing flavor. You can get the hardback version of the book here or the Kindle version by clicking here. And if you want to hear more from Ray and Julieanna, check out their podcast, Science and Saucery. DRINK The local brewery scene has taken a hit lately, so we have decided to show some love to these places that we want to see make it through this tough time for many in the beer industry. Millennial Brewing has a beer that intrigues us this week and we had to try it. Pickle juice has long been rumored to help runners with cramps. But what about a pickle beer? We posted a picture of one in our Runcation Nation Facebook group. Then we found one locally at Millennial Brewing. Enter La Picklabod Pickle Sour. Will it taste like carbonated pickle juice and make us pucker? No, actually. It is a milder flavor and it cries out for a juicy cheeseburger, with pickle, of course! THAT’S A WRAP!
