Forty-eight seconds. Forty-eight freakin’ seconds. This is not going to turn into one of those “for want of a nail” rants, because quite frankly those are not only played-out, they’re dreadfully boring to read. You don’t want to read it. And I don’t want to write it. So we both win here. But to think…
So I’ll be running the A1A Half Marathon this Sunday, starting in downtown Fort Lauderdale and heading straight down to and alongside the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale Beach. I ran this race last year and loved it, so I’m planning on loving it again this year. Would I like to PR this one? I…
Hello again! Good to see ya! OK so when we last met, I detailed the issues I was having with my Illiotibial Band. Specifically how this dreaded affliction of inflamed tissue running down my left side was causing enough knee pain to sideline me from running for the short-term, possibly longer. How Dr. Dad gave…
Welcome to the latest episode of “What’s Ailing Hokeyboy Lately?”, where we discover the *second* IBS I’ve come across in this lifetime, although this one involves a lot less technicolor yawning… So just when I got over the shin splints from last month, I noticed a new particularity that came about a week-and-a-half ago. After…
***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…
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…
You know, I wouldn’t be me if something didn’t happen to my physical frame two weeks before running a long race. The long race being the Disney Marathon on January 13, 2013… and the malady in question are the dreaded shin splints. Those throbbing muscle pains that percolate right around the sides of your shinbone, that…
Click here for my Review of the 2013 Tough Mudder Miami event. Well, I’ve done it. I’ve registered for the Tough Mudder event coming next March, down in Homestead. Ten to twelves miles of running, obstacles, pain, mud, freezing water, pain, live electrical wires, monkey bars, pain, nets, ropes, cannibalism, flaying, fingernail removal, and other…
So I completed my first 18-mile run over the weekend. Unfortunately I had to do it solo, as we hit a friend’s wedding in Bokeelia from Friday through Sunday, so I was without the support of my awesome running compadres in FIT. Now that I train with a group, I have no idea how I…
