“You want egg salad, I’ll give you egg salad!” What the character of Shepherd Wong has to do with today’s Friday Super Happy Fun and Smile-Time Variety Hour, I haven’t the foggiest. I just needed an intro. So sue me. This is my fourth post of the week, and I’m starting to feel a little…
The 2015 Disneyland 10K represented the third time this particular race had been run, as well as being the start of the third Dumbo Double Dare Challenge, in which participants had to complete this 10K as well as the 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon the following day. For those of you keeping score at home, this…
At around 7:49 AM PST on the morning of September 6th, 2015, I crossed the Finish Line of the 10th Anniversary 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon with an explosion of joy and elation, the likes of which would make a First-Century Mt. Vesuvius stand up and say, “Hot Diggity Damn!” More on that in a bit,…
OK we’re off to Disneyland again for the 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. As I type this we’re 35,000 ft. in the air, on our way from Fort Lauderdale to LAX, and I’m like the coolest husband in the world (for the next 10 minutes) because I surprised Boots with First Class tickets on Virgin America.…
… they go ahead and pull THIS on me: YES I’m going to the Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend at Disneyland in Anaheim in January, 2016. YES I said I was ramping down on the Disney races to focus on other race adventures. YES this is going to be overpriced and overcrowded and, when you…
Well I mean, you knew it was coming, right? For those new to the entire Hokified-lifestyle experience simulacrum, a bit of catch-up: every time we participate in a Run Disney race event, we design a custom race shirt for the event. Well, not every time; we didn’t create shirts for the 2012 Twilight Zone Tower Of…
Happy Friday, Hokeyfolk. Let’s get the grumpy stuff out-of-the-way: as much as I tried, as much as I prayed, as much as I was absolutely convinced that it was gonna be a done deal, I didn’t make it into the Big Sur Marathon lottery. Phooey! and Fiddlesticks!! And… you know, it’s not that big a deal.…
Put on your party hats and goat-skin leggings, guys and gals, because we’re celebrating today! That’s right! We’re talking Hokeyblog’s third birthday — three years ago today, we went live with an album review of Beatles For Sale, which got the attention of absolutely nobody, given that I had zero promotion, SEO, Q-rating, Alexa ranking,…
Well I mean, it’s not like you asked… So in less than an hour, registration for the 2016 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend will open up to the general public, and if it’s like any other year, much of it will sell it rather quickly. Certainly the Dopey Challenge, the 5K, and 10K will fill…
Just a quick update, gang. I wanted to share a video that I put together for our Friends In Training run club. I did one last year featuring a song that I’m sure NOBODY is sick of yet, so for this year’s video I decided to go back a few more years and find an…
