Spirit of the Marathon

Last night, Dad and I went to the one night viewing of "Spirit of the Marathon." We first heard about it about a month ago and I thought that it was great for it to come out not even two weeks after I would run my first marathon. It was absolutely wonderful. The way the director portrayed the emotions of a marathon and how they looked at first time marathoners experience to the experience of the elites (they highlighted Deena Kastor my personal favorite and Daniel Njenga). It was great. If you have run a marathon or are thinking about it- go. It will not only motivate you to train harder, but to experience a movie with a theater full of runners who understand and laugh at the guy that says he runs marathons for the t-shirts is great. Although it was one night only, they have added a second night on February 21. Go to marathonmovie.com to see if it is playing near you and make the effort to go- and stay after the credits for the extras. It is 2 hours you will not regret.

Happy Running!
