Well I mean, you knew it was coming, right? For those new to the entire Hokified-lifestyle experience simulacrum, a bit of catch-up: every time we participate in a Run Disney race event, we design a custom race shirt for the event.

***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…
