Spirit Of The Marathon II


Yesterday, when the weather was idyllic, I went on my first big run since having pneumonia back in April. (I've only been going to weights classes since getting my lungs back in working order.) The day was perfect for a hop through the East River Park and even though my thighs are aching today, it felt good to get out and about.

This morning I found the trailer for Spirit of the Marathon II, a documentary that follows a handful of runners as they train for the Rome marathon. If you haven't seen the first one, it's well worth it.

Perhaps this is a sign that I need to get back into running races. Once all this rain stops. Grrr. Worst spring ever.

Spirit Of The Marathon

If you're feeling sluggish and unmotivated by the humidity in New York City or the derechos looming all over the country, watch this movie, Spirit of the Marathon and snap out of your funk.

It came out in 2008, but thanks to Hulu is it free to watch now. It's quite inspiring, for either the experienced or the most novice runner.
