<\/p>\nHappy Friday, Hokeyfolk. Let’s get the grumpy stuff out-of-the-way: as much as I tried, as much as I prayed, as much as I was absolutely convinced that it was gonna be a done deal, I didn’t make it into the Big Sur Marathon lottery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Phooey! and Fiddlesticks!! And… you know, it’s not that<\/em> big a deal. Honestly. And it cost me all of $2.50 to enter, so it’s not like, “There goes that yacht I’ve always wanted…” Life moves on, and besides there are TONS of other buttkickin’ races out there to try. I can always concoct other ways to impress Charo…<\/p>\n It’s an option…<\/p><\/div>\n OK so moving on from that nonsense… the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend<\/strong> is fast approaching. In four short weeks I’ll be back in Anaheim for the fourth year in a row to take advantage of what is probably my favorite Run Disney race event. It’s more than just the race though; Boots and I really take the opportunity to lounge, relax, enjoy the Disneyland Hotel resort, get away from the Florida humidity and enjoy the dry, clear California sunshine. And yeah, run a few races too. Or something.<\/p>\n So anyway, this will be our fourth trip in four years; we really do enjoy our “end of the summer” vacation there. For those of you new to the Hokeyblog experience — and greetings and salutations if you are! — here’s where you can find my previous write-ups:<\/p>\n Here’s a slide-show of some of my favorite Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend photos from the past:<\/p>\n But let’s look towards the future, shall we?<\/p>\n There’s been a lot of information released lately about the race. For starters, corral assignment<\/strong> have been posted for both half marathon bib numbers<\/a> as well as for Dumbo Double Dare bib numbers<\/a>. Click the corresponding link to find out where you’ll be. For the first time, I’ll be in Corral B for the half! What what?<\/p>\n Oh, did you mention looking up your bib number?<\/a> I got ya covered, pal!<\/p>\n Furthermore, if that doesn’t get your lolly poppin’, check out this year’s Event Guide as well<\/a>. Yeah, it’s pretty much the same as every other year, except it’s this<\/em> year’s guide, which makes it kind of awesome right now.<\/p>\n![\"It's](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/millheiser.com\/hokeyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/ted_lance.gif?resize=490%2C368\")
