Greetings from 30,000 ft. over the Salton Sea, or: “It’s time I was king now, not just one more pawn…”

Well, it’s not like you didn’t know this was coming. Unless you’re new here, in which case: welcome! Anyway we’re on our way back from yet another visit to Disneyland, this time for the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend. A great time was had by all, even if it was just a super brief trip to the…

Race Review: Mickey’s Jingle Jungle 5k (11/8/2014) or: “Get on your bikes and ride…”

Say, gang! Hokeydude here. In our awesome first of hopefully many cross-blogging promotions, today’s race review is courtesy of our good friend Sarah from Sparkly Runner. Sarah is not only great people, she’s an avid blogger and Disney Runner, as well as a good friend of all of us over here at Hokeyblog — if she…

And we’re outta here to Wine and Dine, or: “I’m-a chewin’ on a honeysuckle vine…”

Freakin’ November? ALREADY? Wasn’t I just bitching about the South Florida summer blues, like, roughly four seconds ago? Man… Well enough of that claptrap. It’s that magical time once again, where we’re heading into the holiday season and the weather has been cooling off nicely. No kidding, either. The last two weeks in South Florida…

Race Review: 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon (8/31/2014), or: “If you’re in the swing, run run away…”

The 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon was not only my 18th Half Marathon, but the 3rd time I’ve run that race. By my calculations, that means that, as of this writing, I’ve participated in this race more than any other Half Marathon. Three years in a row, three years running, therefore I must really love this…

Race Review: 2014 Disneyland 10K (8/30/2014), or: “Double up or quit, double stake or split…”

I was lucky enough to run the inaugural Disneyland 10K in 2013, which is an impressive achievements for obsessive egocentric runners, just for the bragging rights alone. And if the phrase “obsessive egocentric runners” seems a tad redundant, then you’ve been reading this blog for far too long. We just LOVE talking about ourselves and…

Race Review: 2014 Disneyland Family Fun Run 5K (8/29/2014), or: “Where I can see it all, find out who ya call…”

The 2014 Disneyland Family Fun Run 5K occurred on the morning of August 29, 2014, and you really couldn’t have picked a better looking morning for any kind of race, really. I mean, a morning in the low/mid 60s with low humidity — at least from my South Florida perspective? Listen, after three endless months of…

2014 Disneyland Half Marathon: Arrival, Expo, and Happy Fun-Times, or: “When the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell…”

Hi gang! At long last, that magical hour is upon us, as we launch the first installment of our four-part, in-depth discussion of the 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend — Hokeyblog’s third consecutive year attending this celebrated race event! Yessiree Bob, we have got a bushel of stuff to dive into — race reviews, dining reviews,…

Disney Running Logo for the 2014 Dumbo Double Dare Challenge, or: “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on…”

If you’re a longtime reader of this blog — and by longtime I mean about 2 years, because that’s as far back as we go here at Hokey Industries Intl. — then you’ve done this dance four times with me now. So why not a fifth? And to you newer readers, welcome to our Run…

What, Run Disney has a new Star Wars race? I’m flabbergasted…

All right, this is news, so let’s talk about this. Surprising absolutely no one who’s been paying any attention to Run Disney for months now, it was announced on Tuesday May 27th that the newly christened Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend was in fact an actual thing, for real, no take-backsies, etc. Scheduled to occur…

Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge in 2015, or: “I don’t need a course in self-awareness to find out who I am…”

OK so this is going to surprise absolutely NO ONE who follows this blog, but I just registered for Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge. That’s a Half-Marathon on Saturday followed by a Full Marathon on Sunday, during the 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. This makes perfect sense, because I am absolutely insane. But…
