RUN
2022 Gate River Run in Jacksonville, Florida, was one we had not planned on getting to, but Barbara DiGirolamo (@babz019 on Instagram), who we were lucky to meet and get to know at the Donna Marathon Weekend 2022, convinced us we needed to get there. The experience did not disappoint. Jacksonville residents came out to support and cheer on the runners in this National Championship at the 15K distance. We experienced a great expo, a well-supported course, and the “green monster.” Would we do it again? We discuss all that and more in this episode.
EAT
Prati Italia was our restaurant of choice when carb-loading for this 15K race. The Prati Italia food menu has so many tasty options! We can’t wait to go back and try everything, including the deep-fried lasagna that we saw come to a table. It made our mouths water! They had a beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen, a beautiful setting inside or by the water, and a full vegan menu for us to sample, too! We talk about it in this episode. Special thanks to the hostess (whose name we did not catch) who found seating for us, even though we accidentally made our reservation the next night when we meant to make it for the night before the race). Big thanks and praise to our server Cassidy, who was knowledgeable about everything on the menu and gave us a first-class experience. Get here if you can to try their menu, whether regular, vegan, or vegetarian. And ask for Cassidy!
DRINK
Prati Italia’s specialty non-alcoholic drinks were a welcome surprise when perusing the drink menu. We can’t wait to get back and try their extensive cocktail list that includes cleverly named beverages like the “Frankly Speaking” and “Walk Don’t Run.” The night before the race, though, we were so happy with the handmade sodas we got to try.
THAT’S A WRAP!
On the food and beverage front, Prati Italia is a winner! Make a reservation, get there, and enjoy! Let us know what you have if you do!
Thank you for listening! We are looking forward to YEAR NUMBER 5 of the podcast because of your support!
