RED REPLAY:  EPISODE 245 Run with MEB!  and Wood Fired in Tampa 

 

We are not going to lie—we’ve been ill, injured, and down for the count, but we will be back soon with regular episodes.  This week, we’d like to replay a great episode highlighting an upcoming race for you.  We appreciate your patience and are forever grateful for your support.

 

In honor of the upcoming 2nd Annual Run with Meb on Saturday, May 4, 2024, in Tampa, Florida, we are replaying the conversation we had with Boston and New York City Marathon Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist Meb Keflezighi about the inaugural race in Tampa, Florida.

RUN WITH MEB!  Benefiting the MEB Foundation

It is true; we just completed a fun race weekend with the Runcation Nation at the Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa, but we have to talk about Dana’s hometown for one more week on the show because this week, we are lucky enough to chat with Meb Keflezighi about his inaugural race coming up in May, the Run with Meb!  Benefiting the MEB Foundation.  This event features a 1-mile, 5K, and 10K offering, both in-person in Tampa and Virtual.  Meb told us all about it.  Thank you, Meb, for putting it together and taking the time to talk with us about this first annual event.  We can’t wait to run it with you.  Or, more accurately, at the back of your pack in Al Lopez Park in May!  Save us a high five at the finish!

EAT & DRINK

Wood Fired is a pizza and wine bar near the University of South Florida in Tampa.  It is a small and quaint place that is huge in flavor!  We had salads, appetizers, and pizza that were so flavorful!  We recommend this place if you are scouting colleges or heading to Busch Gardens in Tampa.   In addition, there are local craft beers on tap and a wide range of wines on the menu, from less expensive to higher-end choices.  We went with a glass of house wine, and it was delicious.
