Last night I saw a showing of the documentary "Spirit of the Marathon." I first mentioned this back in October. The film follows 5 people, ranging from novice to Olympic caliber runners, as they prepare for the 2005 Chicago Marathon. It is a very inspiring film, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
While I sat in the theater watching, all I could think about was how I needed to plan my marathon training for this year. :-)
I don't know if there will be future viewings of this fine documentary, but if there is, make sure you see it. I am sure it will be on DVD at some point.
If you do go see it, wait until the end to see the extras, including an interview with 2004 Olympic Women's Marathon Bronze Medalist Deena Kastor, and 2008 Men's Marathon Qualifying champ Ryan Hall discuss their plans for Beijing.
