Spirit of the Marathon

After work today I went to the theaters to watch The Spirit of the Marathon with some friends. It was an independent film makers documentary of the Chicago Marathon. He followed 5 different people from there training to after the marathon. The film followed a 70 year old man doing the marathon, a young couple trying to qualify for Boston together, an over weight single mom, Deena Kastor (American record holder), and a Kenyan. It was so interesting to follow the completely different stories. It was also neat to recognize every place in the movie because it was all in Chicago.
