I’m coming to the vast realization that this blog has been a repository of what I think about other stuff. Reviews and the like. Race reviews. Movie reviews. Music reviews. And that’s fine and dandy, but it doesn’t really tell you anything about *me* in particular. Depending on why you’re here in the first place,…
I originally wasn’t planning on running the Allstate 13.1 Fort Lauderdale half marathon, if for no other reason than I thought it would get in the way of my full Marathon training. I’m still prepping for the big event that goes live two months and a day from the time I’m typing this sentence, and…
UPDATE: Season 2 is now available. Click here for my initial thoughts on the new features and storylines! Ahh, long-distance running… The fine art of destroying your cartilage and killing your weekend social life all for the sake of a $0.95 hunk of metal (which cost you anywhere from $80 to $200) shoved in your…
My good buddy Suz shared this with me. It brought the lulz.
UPDATE: Click here for my REVIEW of the 2013 Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. This blog entry was just about my registration last October. Well hello again! Pleased to see you here!

So on September 29th, 2012, I completed the inaugural Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler, held at the Walt Disney World resort.

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…
(Post title courtesy of one G. Costanza) This is a fascinating article… In my search for information about marathon running, I came across this New Yorker story about Kip Litton (magnificently written by Mark Singer), a Michigan dentist who apparently cheated his way to the top of several 26.2 mile runs. The Marathon details are…
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…
Well I’m just about 95% packed for California. Got the running gear in the carry-on, the rest in my larger rolling luggage, electronics set to go, and sure enough, the lungs send me the 4-1-1 that we’re not getting enough oxygen. For those of you new to the whole Hokeyboy experience, four years ago I…
