Spirit of the Marathon

On Thursday, January 24th, movie theaters around the U.S. will hold a one-night screening of "Spirit of the Marathon," a full-length documentary that follows six runners preparing for and competing in the Chicago Marathon.

The runners vary in talent and experience, and include an elite male athlete hoping to win, and a first-timer hoping to finish. You can read about the movie and see a trailer at the movie's web site:

Some quotes from the trailer:

"People talk about the 'runner's high'... the only runner's high I've really felt is when I stop running."
