Spirit of the Marathon - Home

Spirit of the Marathon - Home:

"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."

A fine documentary. I've never been a runner, except for periods of uncharacteristic fitness after my younger, brief jock days, but I've always admired distance runners (my favorite track event). I also like the fact that for so many runners the goal of a marathon is simply to finish.
