The 2014 Walt Disney World 10K was a pretty exciting race for a host of reasons. For starters it was an inaugural race, which, for Run Disney Obsessives (RDOs) everywhere, means that anyone running it would be counted among the very first to ever brave a brand-new course. This also meant that you were in on the ground…
Special thanks to Debbie. She knows why. You know I originally wasn’t planning on running the Disney Family Fun Run 5K during the 2014 Walt Disney World weekend, but I did, and there you have it. Taking place in the early hours of Thursday, January 9th 2014, the 3.1 mile course circles around the EPCOT…
Hi gang! Welcome back, it’s been awhile. Other than a few Buttkickin’ Holiday Songs shared throughout the season, it’s been pretty quiet around Hokeyblog for the past few weeks. It’s not quite that I haven’t had much to say; more along the lines of I hadn’t found an interesting way to talk about things. And…
So Boots & I were up at the World on Thanksgiving weekend. There was no one particularly driving reason for us to head there, but we were “in the area” so we decided to make a weekend out of it. And when I say “in the area”, I mean “somewhere on Planet Earth”. Like we…
Well I’ve been talking about it for a few months, so enough yakkin’ already. Here’s where I start my attempt at doing a tangible bit of good. I’ve started a fundraising page; you can find it at http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=281162. My goal is to raise $5,000 to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America by February…
So call me crazy and self-serving but I’m over the moon they used my voice in the Mickey Miles Podcast show opener (about 0:38 seconds in) for Episode 107… Check it out here! This was recorded August 31st at the Downtown Disney Haagen Dazs in Disneyland, California, during their podcast meet-up. Very cool. 🙂 And for…
The 8th Annual Disneyland Half Marathon took place in the early morning of September 1st, 2013, and it was a pretty significant race for me. First, it was the second leg of the Dumbo Double Dare challenge. I had run the first leg the previous day during the Disneyland 10K, which meant I only had…
There’s something a little bit cool about doing an Inaugural race, isn’t there? The obvious answer to that question is another question, and that other question would be “Aren’t inaugural runs just another excuse for runners to feel entirely smug and overly pleased with themselves?” It’s true. We just can’t get enough of ourselves. What’s…
At 5:15 in the morning on Thursday, August 29th, 2013, a Lincoln Town Car pulled onto Hiatus Road in Sunrise, FL, and with that auspicious beginning Boots and I began our journey that would take us from the suburbs of Fort Lauderdale, FL to the legendary Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. The time had finally…
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…
