This week, a longtime member of our community, Cheryl, shares her experience at the Marine Corps 17.75K. Join us as we explore Cheryl’s journey, her battles, victories, and the unique camaraderie found on the less-traveled paths of running trails.

We unpack the race course, the thoughtful swag that comes along with it, and the heartwarming anecdotes of volunteering at water stops amidst the supportive chants of the Marine Corps members there. We’ll also walk you through the specifics of navigating the hilly terrain of Prince William Forest Park.

As we wind down, we swap running tips for tales of post-race celebrations and the local culinary delights that await. From spontaneous tributes to loved ones to shared laughter under adverse weather, we cover the spectrum of emotions that can make a race like this an unforgettable experience.

As dawn broke over the iconic New York City skyline, she couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement—the cocktail of emotions that Ana from @Ana_Runs_on_Coffee described as she boarded the bus to the marathon starting line. Clad in mylar blankets and loaded with carb-rich strategies, she joins us for a second episode to continue recounting the pre-marathon rituals that set the stage for 26.2 miles of urban adventure. Hear how her preparation unfolded into an orchestra of precision, emotion, and community spirit found only in the crowds of runners poised at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, ready to conquer the concrete jungle.
The crowd's energy is an intangible yet potent force, and this episode captures the essence of that support alongside the critical topic of marathon fueling. With anecdotes of energy gels and the sweet taste of success (or sometimes, just too much sugar), Ana dissects the tightrope walk of maintaining energy levels without stomach upsets. Glimpse into the heartwarming tales of spectator ingenuity and discover how the cheers of strangers can propel you through the physical challenge and emotional highs of passing each mile marker.
Post-race, the euphoria is palpable as we share the tales of her New York City Marathon experience, from the tear-streaked joy of crossing the finish line to the gastronomic bliss of a well-earned burger. Our journey concludes with brunch at Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe, a treasured photo by the mile 26 marker, and the comical mishaps of a much-needed coffee fix. Join us on this exhilarating tour of perseverance and celebration that encapsulates the marathon spirit, and perhaps you'll be inspired to lace up your running shoes for your next big race.

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.

EAT

Cinottis Bakery is a recommendation from Mike and Andi Sharp. It was a bustling Saturday morning as we came for post-race breakfast to celebrate the 5K. The staff is so knowledgeable and excellent. The breakfast sandwiches and burritos are tasty… but that bakery case.. oh my goodness! Take some back to the hotel with you. You will not be sorry. Whether sweet or savory breakfast is your thing, this is a staple you can’t miss!

Check out the menu and more here:

Ink Factory Brewing (and Coffee, too!!) was our next stop! This place did not disappoint because two things we love are here. Coffee and local brews! We captured our reactions to the beer flights here and will share our coffee beverages in bonus content for our patrons, so stay tuned! This place had an 80s vibe, a game room, and a nostalgic little shop. On tap, they had refreshing original beer plus a smash burger food truck. Shout out to Allie for outstanding service here, too!
