Is anyone going to see the movie "Spirit of the Marathon" this month? The movie has been mentioned elsewhere on this site before, but it's been a while. I personally just became aware of this movie yesterday when I saw the trailer for the first time. It's a one day showing only, and it's Jan 24th! I'm not sure how widespread the showing is. I guess the movie's website will have that info: http://www.marathonmovie.com/home.html

Here is a quick blurb about the movie from its website:
Spirit of the Marathon is the first ever non-fiction 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 movie, Spirit of the Marathon is an inspirational journey of perseverance and personal triumph; a spectacle that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike.

	backroadrunner and I are going to see it with a friend. This will hopefully be the year that BRR and I run our first, so I'm sure it's going to be pretty motivating. From the trailer I think I will need to bring plenty of tissues, too. k

	A friend and I are seeing it in Chesterfield, MO. At least if I can figure out how to get to Chesterfield now that the highway is shut down...
