I got my ticket for "Spirit of the Marathon" today...I'm having to go by myself because I'm the only runner around here that I know....I hope the movie is good. Anyone else going?

Yup! I was going to go by myself, and J asked if I could grab him a ticket too... maybe this will inspire him to run? Hehe

I got my tix a few weeks back. Will be going with the girlfriend and my father (both marathoners at one time or another). I'm guessing it'll be an interesting crowd, probably the thinnest, healthiest demographic in any of the movies at this theater!

Was talking to Dw about it last night - I'm really stoked about and am going with some running friends. DD basically heard "movie" and asked if she could come. My wife told her "You wouldn't like it, it's not for normal people, just those who run" I was offended that she left out the indie film fan demographic. Oh, and when you say this is gonna be the fittest, thinnest movie audience ever, that's probably true. But I'm what statisticians like to call a "flyer" I like "statistical anamoly" better, though, , it sounds more mysterious (or maybe just pretentious)

I'd think anyone who enjoys documentaries and human interest stories would like it. Even if I weren't a runner I'm sure I'd enjoy it, being a runner just makes me want to see it in the theater, instead of waiting for DVD. Smile

I'm going and pretty excited about it. Convinced my SO to go with me (and hoping he'll catch the running bug while we're there). We'll be stuffing our faces with popcorn and Bunch a Crunch. I'm bringing tissues too - that trailer is practically a tear-jerker. Wink

I'm hoping for inspiration/motivation for my upcoming marathon, but I have a feeling it may just scare the crap out of me.

Going tonight. Psyched. Gatorade and GU to snack on? Suppose I'll wear a running shirt and old running shoes, too, or maybe that'll be too over the top.

I know it's going to bring back memories of the three marathons I've done (good AND bad memories!) ... and get me super excited for MCM!!

I hope it gets me excited for the marathon I hope to run in the Fall. If it doesn't get me excited it will scare the pants off of me...and that's probably not a bad thing, either. I've never felt true agony on a run, not even on my PR'd HM--my fastest paced race yet--and I have a feeling that I'm gonna be in a bit of shock when I do. k
