Last night, Lara and I drove up to Warrington, PA to see Spirit of the Marathon with a few of my fab forum friends: Matt and his wife Marianne, Joye and Hester. We met at the luxurious culinary hot-spot, Ruby Tuesday’s and talked about running, running, a little non-running, and more running. Brains were picked, mucho laughs were had and it was a blast and a half. I gotta say, I still can’t believe what wonderful friends I’ve made from something so seemingly impersonal as an internet forum.

As for the movie…I absolutely loved it. The production values were surprisingly fantastic – camera work, editing, soundtrack, story, everything was gripping and had me tearing up from the get-go. I was disappointed to learn that we should have stayed to the bitter end beyond the credits, because there were outtakes we missed from leaving too soon. That’ll teach me to disrespect the credit roll, bad girl!

If you didn’t go last night, you have another chance on February 21st, so get thee to a movie theater next month, because this is one super dollop of inspiration for anyone with a pair of running shoes in their closet.

Afternoon addition (or is that the Afternoon Edition? )
Don’t know whether it was the movie last night or the intervals yesterday, but I just got back from a really wonderful 7@8:33 that felt so easy, even with the wind that attempted to whup my ass, but couldn’t. Just had to share, lol.
