Got my "Spirit" ticket (Read 1010 times)

Apparently he must have had the surgery post '05 Chicago, Bugs, because in the additional footage at the end of the show it said both he and his wife went on to run Boston together.

It doesn't say that he qualified, just that he's running it. I wonder if he got in with a charity bib or if he qualified in another race.

I thought they did say that he'd qualified for Boston - because they were talking about the "difference" of BQ.... Anyway, went w/DH, who is not (he says "at this time") a runner. we shared a large buttered popcorn & lge diet coke...so did most of those around us - well I wouldn't know what the drink was, but there was lots of popcorn in our part of the theatre! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing! Audience input & all - kinda like a Warren Miller film.... Deena is absolutely awesome - they all were! Got a kick out of that her husband is her massage therapist! & that she eats like about 5,000 calories per day during marathon training - around 3,000/day other wise! DH says he enjoyed the film BUT- we're all still crazy!

I suspect that the injured Boston aspirant got an entry as a result of his participation in Spirit. One for the wife as well. If he had qualified at another race, that would have been said.

I think you're right, because his listed PR at the end of the film was 3:11....Which I assume refers to the 3:11:21 he talked about earlier in the film...The one that was 22 seconds too long to BQ.

/grump on Note to self: post the spoiler endings to all future movies to annoy these dorks. I guess my viewing of this movie tomorrow night won't be exactly suspenseful. Pssst. Darth Vader is Luke's father. Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze. In "Seven," it ends with Gwynneth Paltrow's head in a box. In "No Way Out," Kevin Costner's character is the Russian spy. In "The Game," the whole thing is a birthday surprise from his brother. In "The Crying Game," that's not a woman, it's a man, baby. In the "Sixth Sense," Bruce Willis is dead for the whole damn movie. Dumbledore dies and Harry's next. That planet of the apes is a really familiar place. And it was KRISTIN who shot J.R. Take that.

Weird that they charge extra at some theaters...I don't recall paying more than standard ticked prices. Sounds like some theaters are scammin'. I did read one interesting statistic that the RD for the GRM e-mailed out. The Grand Rapids, MI showing was the #2 largest attended in the nation. Not sure who was #1...did anyone ever hear?
