"Spirit of the Marathon is the first ever non-ficition feature film to capture the drama and essence of the famed 26.2 mile running event. Filmed on four continents, the movie brings together a diverse cast of amateur athletes and marathon luminaries.
As six unique stories unfold, each runner prepares for and ultimately faces the challenge of the Chicago Marathon. More than a sports move, Spirit of the Marathon is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumpf; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike."
The movie is having a special encore around the United States on February 21. I got my ticket tonight to go watch it at the Mall of Georgia. I am really looking forward to the movie - they were having special showings at this year's Chicago Marathon, but I didn't have time to watch it (between resting my feet and hanging out with my kick arse support team - a.k.a., the fam!).
The 2007 Chicago Marathon may have had a number of huge mistakes, but my road getting there had some huge accomplishments (physical, mental, and a whole lot of spiritual). Who knows? Maybe watching this will actually motivate me to get off my duff and get out there and start running.
