And we’re outta here!, or: “All in all my aim is better, shots as clean as a mean go-getter…”

The car service arrives at 5:15AM tomorrow morning, taking us from the lovely shores of Welleby to Fort Lauderdale International Airport. Virgin Airways will deliver Boots and I to LAX, and another car service will transport us in style and faux-luxury to the Disneyland Hotel. And the latest Run Disney adventure will begin with lots…

Disney Running logos for the Dumbo Double Dare challenge, or: “But technicolor pachyderms is really too much for me…”

So it’s about that time when I’m gearing up for my next Disney Run. Yup, Team Millheiser RULES!!! is packing up shop and heading out to Anaheim, CA for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend coming up at the end of the month. If you recall, I ran the Half last year and absolutely had a…

Race Review: Neon Vibe 5K (6/29/2013), or: “Blessed by the night, holy and bright…”

I don’t do write-ups for 5Ks, really. Why bother? 3.1 miles is less than what I do on short or conditioning runs. You get to the site, wait until it starts, usually with some DJ banter and generic hoo-hah dancing, then you’re off, and you’re done before you know it. You grab a banana and…

My weekend — Miles, Monsters, Lulz, and Legends, or: “Here I am with eight more lives…”

A quick weekend recap of what was a pretty goshdarn swell time! 1. FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE (with not having to wake up early on Saturday) I decided to do my “Long Run” on Friday night — June 21, 2013. Summer solstice. Longest day of the year. I must have been out of my mind.…

OK I’m gonna just make this a brief update — oh, HI everyone! — anyway this is just a head’s up on some recent running goings-on and stuff. So I’m officially registered for the 2014 Disney Princess Half-Marathon. That’s hardly news at ALL around these parts, really. I’ve done four Disney running events and as…

Race Review: 2013 Keys100 100-Mile Team Relay (Part 1), or: “Come on the amazing journey and learn all you should know…”

On the weekend of May 17-19, 2013, seventeen fellow runners and I embarked on an epic amazing adventure so gargantuan in scope, Homer would have whistled an epic haiku about it. The empirical notion that ‘haikus’ are in fact prosaic and not musical is not lost on me. But if that grants you an air…

Zombies, Run: Season Two is live! or: “Just pretend I’m only a friend and disappear from sight…”

So Zombies, Run! Season 2 dropped this week. If you haven’t read my initial review of the fitness/running app for your smartphone, you can do so by clicking here. Go ahead. We’ll wait… OK are they gone? Good. Let’s go on without them. Anyway, so I was initially a huge fan of Zombies, Run! when…

Race Review: 2013 Rock ‘N’ Roll USA Half Marathon (03/16/2013), or: “Over the hills where the spirits fly…”

So last weekend we traveled up to Washington, DC for the Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon event. This race was of particular interest to me for a variety of reasons. First off, it was a trip to Washington for a few days, and I hadn’t been to Washington as a tourist or for non-business reasons…

Race Review: 2013 Tough Mudder Miami (03/02/2013), or: “Oh well; who wants to live forever?? DIIIIIIIVE!!!!!”

Dedicated to a single objective: the conquest of the universe!!! Only one group dares to challenge this intergalactic threat…
