So it’s about that time when I’m gearing up for my next Disney Run. Yup, Team Millheiser RULES!!! is packing up shop and heading out to Anaheim, CA for the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend coming up at the end of the month. If you recall, I ran the Half last year and absolutely had a…
OK I’m gonna just make this a brief update — oh, HI everyone! — anyway this is just a head’s up on some recent running goings-on and stuff. So I’m officially registered for the 2014 Disney Princess Half-Marathon. That’s hardly news at ALL around these parts, really. I’ve done four Disney running events and as…
***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 10-mile course, which commenced promptly at 10PM that night, started at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, ran down the Osceola Parkway to the Animal Kingdom, back around to Disney’s ESPN complex, through their fields,…
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…
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…
