Race Review: 2014 Walt Disney World 10K (1/10/2014), or: “Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy…”

The 2014 Walt Disney World 10K was a pretty exciting race for a host of reasons. For starters it was an inaugural race, which, for Run Disney Obsessives (RDOs) everywhere, means that anyone running it would be counted among the very first to ever brave a brand-new course. This also meant that you were in on the ground…

Race Review: 2014 Disney Family Fun Run 5K (1/09/2014), or: “You know the rhythm is right…”

Special thanks to Debbie. She knows why. You know I originally wasn’t planning on running the Disney Family Fun Run 5K during the 2014 Walt Disney World weekend, but I did, and there you have it. Taking place in the early hours of Thursday, January 9th 2014, the 3.1 mile course circles around the EPCOT…

Disney Running Logos for the 2014 WDW Marathon Weekend, or: “And now we’re back where we started…”

Hi gang! Welcome back, it’s been awhile. Other than a few Buttkickin’ Holiday Songs shared throughout the season, it’s been pretty quiet around Hokeyblog for the past few weeks. It’s not quite that I haven’t had much to say; more along the lines of I hadn’t found an interesting way to talk about things. And…

Race Review: 2013 Palm Beaches Half Marathon (12/08/2013), or: “Sun sun sun, here it comes…”

Continuing with our 2013-2014 Florida Storm Series coverage… The 2013 Palm Beaches Marathon & Run Fest weekend went down on the weekend of December 6th, 2013. This was a pretty inclusive event, one that hosted 5K, 10K, Half and Full marathons; something for pretty much runners of every stripe. “Every stripe”… what an odd turn…

Running Disney’s Wilderness Trail, or: “I was feeling part of the scenery; I walked right out of the machinery…”

So Boots & I were up at the World on Thanksgiving weekend. There was no one particularly driving reason for us to head there, but we were “in the area” so we decided to make a weekend out of it. And when I say “in the area”, I mean “somewhere on Planet Earth”. Like we…

My fundraising project for the CCFA and why I’ll run in a tutu for it, or: “Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing…”

Well I’ve been talking about it for a few months, so enough yakkin’ already. Here’s where I start my attempt at doing a tangible bit of good. I’ve started a fundraising page; you can find it at http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=281162. My goal is to raise $5,000 to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America by February…

Race Review: 2013 Allstate 13.1 Fort Lauderdale (11/10/2013), or: “It’s a hard life to live but it gives back what you give….”

I decided to run the 2013 Allstate 13.1 Fort Lauderdale half marathon at a slower pace, and the reason I decided to run the 2013 Allstate 13.1 Fort Lauderdale half marathon at a slower pace was because I was physically incapable of running it at a faster pace. I believe in logic. This is my…
