RUN
This week we recap our September race. Earlier this month, we completed the Great Smoky Mountains 5K in Townsend, Tennessee. The packet pickup was great, and the Expo had beautiful swag. The race had a safe and well-directed neighborhood path. The medal and post-race snacks were great. The best part, though? We did it with a member of the Runcation Nation no less, Tina! Congratulations to Tina for completing her first live and in-person 5K race. She crushed it, and we couldn’t be happier to say that we were lucky enough to be a part of it! Can’t wait to get back to this beautiful part of the country! Gatlinburg and Townsend are beautiful and full of places we want to explore in the future!

With a salad bar and tasty steak entrees that were too tempting to pass up, we got a Prime Rib and Ribeye to try with loaded baked potatoes. The shrimp, salmon, and chicken dishes looked like winners, too.
DRINK
We toasted our accomplishment at Gatlinburg Brewing Company. Each one of us had a flight and recorded our reactions right inside this brewery located right in the heart of all the happenings that draw vacatione
