Spirit of the Marathon

David, Ashley and I went to the Cinemark at the Harbor in Rockwall to see this documentary about marathons and the people who run them called Spirit of the Marathon. It was only playing on this one date nationwide, but I'm sure they'll eventually do another movie showing and/or a DVD release. If you've ever run a marathon, are interested in running one, or are curious as to why your crazy friends do it, it's a great film. They profiled a wide cross-section of runners, from the first-time marathon to the 12-minute pace veteran to the Kenyan to the elite woman. They really captured the beauty of the marathon and the amazing rush that pushes people to finish them.
