Nothing like starting the trip with a heart attack. I received this urgent text alert from Delta telling me my flight was cancelled. When I checked the details, I was confronted with this: It was ALWAYS a code share flight with AirFrance. The flight wasn’t really cancelled… they just put AirFrance as the primary flight […]
I *think* most of my runDisney photos have been found and uploaded to my online gallery. They had to track down my Kylo Ren and Chewbacca pics from the 10K but a quick note and an iPhone sample pic later and they found them lickety split. A few of my iPhone shots actually turned out […]
Ok. This is a quick update as I have to run… but then, don’t I always? Here’s a photo album’s worth of pictures, ‘cuz they’re each worth at least 10 words though not the full 1000 to be sure. I’ve tried to provide a few choice commentary quotes as I uploaded them: The first image: […]
The race announcers, Carissa and Kwame, kept talking about this as the 3rd year of the Star Wars Light Side Half Marathon Weekend at Disneyland. I’ve been here each year and I can tell you this wasn’t always the Light Side. The very first year it was the straight up Star Wars Half Marathon weekend […]
I’m still bandaged. I’m bruising up not so nicely too, like a fruit dropped on the floor repeatedly at the supermarket and placed back in the bin for some unsuspecting customer. But that’s not why this post is titled “Ouch.” Well, okay, maybe it is — who knew how often I rested my elbow on […]
It’s raining in Los Angeles. And not just raining, but wrath of god, Biblical flood raining. A house near me, a house of stilts, is precariously red tagged, meaning it could slide down the hillside at any time and is no longer fit for human inhabitation. On top of that, because the house has already […]
Given this latest Muscat Marathon posting, it’s safe to say my odds of successfully “winning” the Muscat Marathon just went to zero. My personal record, set at peak conditions on a downhill course, was a 3:05:27. Unless there’s a massive NoroVirus outbreak, or a doping scandal worthy of Russian “intelligence” agencies, or a bunch of […]
The race organizers posted an infographic about this month’s Muscat marathon. Turns out I am RAISING the average age of this thing. That’s not helping my feelings regarding the ever heavier weight of time. By the same token, I’ve got a one in 150 chance of winning this thing… or is it one in 149? […]
There was no race this morning. It felt weird to wake up and NOT have to get over to Walt Disney World (even though technically I had a similar experience on Saturday with the half marathon being cancelled the night before). Nonetheless, I took the off day opportunity to download my official photos from the runDisney events. […]
One of my favorite jokes from my college Rockymentary short has a fake description of Rocky IV being shot in Alaska juxtaposed with a quick insert of Matt Buehrle as Sylvester Stallone intoning, “Oh, man… it was cold.” I kept thinking of that this morning as I waited for the start of the 2017 WDW […]
