So Boots and I loaded up the family truckster last Saturday and made the drive up to Orlando. Our rationale for going up there was the “free” Micky Dolenz concert at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. I say “free” in “quotes” because if you “factor in” gas, tolls, hotels, and our Annual Passholder payments we…
***UPDATE — Sold out in less than an hour! Glad I got in when I did… No rest for the wicked, it seems. Well it looks like I’m going to be returning to Anaheim this Labor Day. As you may recall, last year we headed out to run the 2012 Disneyland Half Marathon, and we…
The 2013 Walt Disney World Marathon has been a longtime goal of mine, ever since I took up running in January 2011. Back then I made a goal to run a Half Marathon in a year, which I did (at Disney) in January 2012. After completing that run, I made it my goal to run…
Just a quick update: leaving tonight for Disney, 5 nights at the Port Orleans French Quarter in preparation for The Big Event on Sunday. So I’ll be incommunicado for a little bit, but expect a full Race Review at SOME point next week. If anyone wants to check out live progress of my run, it…
You know how much ridiculous arrogance and hubris I must have to name our team “Millheiser RULES!!!”? None whatsoever. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Bubkis. I’m just riffing off that line the bully O’Doyle kids always scream in Happy Gilmour. It makes a great Two-tickets-to-the-gun-show flex and grunt whenever I cross a finish line. So I…
My good buddy Suz shared this with me. It brought the lulz.
So on September 29th, 2012, I completed the inaugural Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler, held at the Walt Disney World resort. The 10-mile course, which commenced promptly at 10PM that night, started at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, ran down the Osceola Parkway to the Animal Kingdom, back around to Disney’s ESPN complex, through their fields,…
Do I have to do this all over again? Didn’t I do it right the first time? Do I have to do this all over again? Oh, how many times do I have to make this climb? Didn’t I? Didn’t I? OK well that sounds a whole lot more fatalistic than this generally happy and…
Well I’m back from running the Disneyland Half Marathon, spending 5 nights in Southern California doing the whole tourist experience: sightseeing, sun-worshipping, marveling at the actual existence of mountains, eating way too much, staring down hyper-inflated security guys at House of Blues in Hollywood, plenty of funky alcoholic beverages, machaca!, crashing rooftop parties, recreating classic…
Hi. Friendly neighborhood Hokeydude here. So the big run at Disneyland is pretty much here! Boots, Shyla and I leave Friday morning, Virgin America direct to LAX, where we’ll be met by Ann (who WILL earn a blog nickname before next Wednesday), and then it’s 5 nights in Southern Califnornia. Hope to get in a…
