RUN, EAT, and DRINK with RunDisney Legend Alan Young

In this episode, we talk with a member of the “Runcation Nation” and pillar of the RunDisney community, Alan Young. He talks about his storied journey and fantastic history with RunDisney. He took this journey with his beautiful wife, Grace, who you see in some of the episode artwork pictures this week.

He is what’s known as “perfect” in the RunDisney realm. What does it mean… to be “perfect,” you ask? It is a title given to all those who have completed all Walt Disney World Marathons in history. He goes further than all those who have done that, though. He is the only one left who can say he has completed the Disneyland Marathon when it was held once upon a time.

With his passion for Disneyland and Walt Disney World evident, Alan talked with us about his favorites across the parks when it came to eating and drinking in the Disney bubble after the running. We loved it because he confirmed much of what we have had at the parks and at Disney Springs, too!

We were all thinking about brunch when we started our interview with Adrianne over our Sunday morning coffee. She mentioned a diner we should all visit if we ever venture to Salem, Massachusetts. It’s called The Ugly Mug Diner. You should check out their menu of food and beverages at uglymugdiner.com. It had us thinking of brunch and how we must get up there and try it soon!

Adrianne shares tips and tools to fuel well during training later in our conversation. Are you wondering about those Superhero muffins? She refers to recipes from Run Fast. Eat Slow by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky. You can find the book in print: https://amzn.to/3JSjVfX or a Kindle edition here: https://amzn.to/3A0occr.

RUN, EAT, and DRINK on a Dopey Challenge Runcation at Walt Disney World with Dawn Broussard!  It's an episode perfect for your long run!

In this episode, we talk with a member of the “Runcation Nation” and patron of our show, Dawn Broussard.

She talks about completing the Dopey Challenge with her daughter this past year.  

Of course after completing a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and her first-ever marathon in the SAME weekend, she had to explore, indulge, and celebrate this big accomplishment.  She selected Artist Point, a character dining experience at Wilderness Lodge.  Which characters, you ask?  Snow White, Grumpy, and of course, Dopey!  Photo opp is included!  

This meal features tasty shared appetizers, individual entrees, and shared desserts along with a non-alcoholic beverage included in the price of the dinner.

The biggest stars of the meal had to be the slow-braised pork shank and the Enchanted Apple martini that Dawn talked about with us.  Yummy!  We want to check out the Miner’s Treasure cookies and cream dessert, too!  It all sounds very tempting, very much like the poison apple that Snow White was tempted with in the fairytale.  

There are food options for the kids and themed drinks without alcohol, too, if you are still hydrating after your race, like the Transformation Potion and Wishing Apple Punch.  It sounds like this meal has something for everyone! 

Check out the menu here:  https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/wilderness-lodge-resort/artist-point/menus/dinner

RUN

We begin our seventh year with a tradition: Richard’s Father’s Day Family Walk / Jog at Uele in Tampa.  This year we were lucky to have a team of six from the Runcation Nation, plus two who could not be with us yet still there in spirit.  Dawn and Jessica, who planned to come but could not: we wish we could have had you there!  To Kelly and Aden Anderson, Christy Van Allen, and Greg Elsberry, thank you for joining our team.  Thank you to Michael Kilgore, retired but still organizing this event for the Colombia Restaurant Group, for allowing us to give away tickets to this great event!  

This year, Richard Gonzmart, the race’s namesake, was there.  We recap what he shared with us, the significant milestone reached on this tenth anniversary of the event, the course, the shirts, and the overall great feeling we come away with every year supporting a great place like Moffitt Cancer Center.  

Find out more about this event and the Colombia Restaurant Group’s upcoming nighttime run, Richard’s Run for Life, through the streets of Ybor (including a great afterparty) in November here:  

http://richardsrunforlife.org/ 

EAT

Ulele, a restaurant, and brewery full of connections to the rich history of Florida and Tampa, was our destination for this Father’s Day menu that we could not miss.  We recap our meal, full of specials just from the specialty menu for Father’s Day.  We might have had some from the regular menu, too!  

If you are ever in Tampa, you must try this Florida fresh, and Native-American inspired menu.  (We know this is not the drink segment, but we can’t help but also say, check out all of the brews created by Head Brewmaster Tim Shackton, too.)

Here’s a peek at the menu: https://ulele.com/wp-content/uploads/Ulele-menu.pdf 

DRINK

This week, as we waited for our reservation at Ulele, we walked right next door to Armature Works and sampled a beverage that piqued our interest, the Buddy Brew Screw from the fine folks at Buddy Brew!  Armature Works has plenty of food and beverage options, but we were after some coffee.  Yes, we said it would never happen again, but we did this race without coffee and needed this unique boost we had never seen before!  We will be back for more of their menu in the future!

Here’s more information about Armature Works and Buddy Brew:

SHOUT OUTS

Thanks to all our patrons and everyone in the Runcation Nation for your support and encouragement.  Because of you, we have been able to keep the show going over the last two years, and now that the races are returning, we look forward to meeting up with you, too!

Congratulations to Cheryl Goodwin, who got engaged!

Congratulations to the winners of our Richard’s Father’s Day Walk/Jog entries:  Kelly, Dawn, and Michelle!

We received an email shout-out:

“Hi, Aimee & Dana!! 

This is Trip 😃.  How are you guys?  

Josh mentioned that he might be on your show soon.  

Can you give him a big SHOUT OUT from all of us in Runcation Nation?  He has been killing his recovery from heart surgery!!  He goes to the lake near his house and walks or “rucks” every day in the blistering heat & humidity that you guys have.  He has also been hiking on trails and was cleared to power lift again.  Josh is rusting his butt.  He has healed up & is almost back to work.  I’ve talked to JoJo too…We are all so proud of him!!  Please give him a shout-out! 🙌

Thank you, guys! 

I’ll see you soon when you go live. 

Hugs to Dad ❤️

Tripbily”
