***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…
Just a quick update: leaving tonight for Disney, 5 nights at the Port Orleans French Quarter in preparation for The Big Event on Sunday. So I’ll be incommunicado for a little bit, but expect a full Race Review at SOME point next week. If anyone wants to check out live progress of my run, it…
So they announced Oscar nominations this morning, which I suppose is a big enough deal for me to comment about it here, but let’s be frank: as much of a pop-cultural milestone the Academy Awards are to film nerds, movie dorks, cinema snoots, or just gay men in general, they’re pretty much functionally useless in…

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…
Howdy! Hope anyone and everyone reading this had a Chappy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, a Festive New Year, or none of the above and just wanted to be left the F alone, away from silly obnoxious people. Or maybe all of the above. Given we’re a Jewish & Catholic household, we get a bit of…
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…

Another MTV Holiday classic. Literally. Filmed right on their set, with most of the original VJs, back in the halcyon days of the fledgling cable network. Back when Nina Blackwood was the object of every guy’s young lustful urges, but we all really had huge crushes on Martha Quinn. She was the ultimate girl next…
