Spirit of the Marathon

Posted Aug 25 2008 3:14pm
I went with several members of my running club to a screening of the movie Spirit of the Marathon . It detailed the training and obstacles faced by a few first time marathoners and two world-class runners, and the reason why they choose to run a marathon. It was really well done.

The timing of the movie was great. For me, I'm running my first marathon in almost seven years. It got me thinking about why I train to race in endurance events.


I run to prove that I am strong, that I am capable of finishing a marathon, and hopefully by the end of the year, a half and full ironman. I run to destress from life. And, I run to set an example for my patients.


If you can, see this movie. It is absolutely inspiring.
