Spirit of the Marathon Movie

I went to see "The Spirit of the Marathon" movie on Thursday. Not knowing what I was in for, after only seeing the trailer, it looked promising. I was suprised beyond belief. There were pieces of me being shown (not literally!). They interviewed Deena Kastor, Paula Radcliffe, Katherine Switzer, and various non-elites who were training for the Chicago Marathon. It was awesome because everyone in that theatre knew the pain, sweat and tears it takes to complete 26.2 or 13.1. There were "oh, that is so me!" to "I love that shirt!" I think it caputured why we do this. Because others say we can't, or shouldn't.

I think that in pushing our bodies to do what others feel is impossible, is when I truly feel free!
