You know, for all the Disney running I do, I am not a “running in costume” sorta guy. Don’t get me wrong now, I love Halloween. As North Americans, pound for pound it’s our coolest holiday. Yes, even cooler than Arbor Day, so cool your jets. The only time in the year you (as an…
Well it can’t ALL be buttkickin’ Halloween songs all the time, can it? So I suppose the running season begins for me (and many others in South Florida) with the 2013 Miami Beach Halloween Half Marathon, and I can’t wait to run it tomorrow (Saturday 10/26/2013). Weather conditions look pretty decent. It’s been a bit…
First of all, don’t panic. Hokeyblog isn’t going anywhere. As a matter of fact, it’s never been stronger in terms of page views and visibility, so I think the whole Hokey-BRAND is moving along rather swimmingly! Although I wonder if anyone was actually panicking after reading that headline. I mean, other than my weepy Aunt Bunny… Well…
So call me crazy and self-serving but I’m over the moon they used my voice in the Mickey Miles Podcast show opener (about 0:38 seconds in) for Episode 107… Check it out here! This was recorded August 31st at the Downtown Disney Haagen Dazs in Disneyland, California, during their podcast meet-up. Very cool. 🙂 And for…
Howdy fellow Space Travelers. I really don’t have a whole lot of content for today, but I thought I’d put up some brief updates about what’s going on with things in Downtown Hokeyville, Population: Us. So without further ado: 1. Anagrammatics! I recently discovered that if you rearrange the letters of my full name, you…
Well as they say, no rest for the wicked. Or was that no pants for the lawyers? I’ve never been good with the lingua franca, or perhaps even not sure exactly what the lingua franca is, and I’m too lazy to Google. What a weird way to start a post… Well moving on then… fresh off a…
Wait! One last bit! I have never really shared my Playlists before, but I figure I might as well include the tracks I listened to last weekend during the Disneyland 10K and Half Marathon. I have a pool of songs on my Android and basically set them to Shuffle. It’s a weird selection of tunes…
The 8th Annual Disneyland Half Marathon took place in the early morning of September 1st, 2013, and it was a pretty significant race for me. First, it was the second leg of the Dumbo Double Dare challenge. I had run the first leg the previous day during the Disneyland 10K, which meant I only had…
There’s something a little bit cool about doing an Inaugural race, isn’t there? The obvious answer to that question is another question, and that other question would be “Aren’t inaugural runs just another excuse for runners to feel entirely smug and overly pleased with themselves?” It’s true. We just can’t get enough of ourselves. What’s…
At 5:15 in the morning on Thursday, August 29th, 2013, a Lincoln Town Car pulled onto Hiatus Road in Sunrise, FL, and with that auspicious beginning Boots and I began our journey that would take us from the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, FL to the legendary Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. The time had finally…
