Great flick for first time marathoners

Check out Spirit of the Marathon, if you haven't done so already.

It's pretty motivating, and the shot of 40,000 runners starting the Chicago marathon is impressive.

    Watched this at a local theater here in Indianapolis. Very motivating! Every time I watch it I just want to go out and run. I like how they follow the lives of both the elite runners and the...um...not so elite. :-) I will be training for my 1st marathon (Chicago) for October, and I'm sure I'll watch this a few more times.

    Saw it in the theater and loved it! Ordered a copy ahead of time so I would get it right away and watch it whenever I need motivation! I loved seeing it in the theater with other runners because we all laughed at the same time and cried at the same time. My husband just doesn't seem to get it.

    Also, if any of you has Netflix, it is available for Instant View on your computer/tv. That's how I had the opportunity to see it and will probably watch it several more times before my first marathon in September.

    Have just watched it. I'm not far into training for my first marathon and am now really looking forward to race day. Very inspirational and I reckon I'll probably watch it a few more times over the coming months!

    Got this through Netflix. It is very inspiring... I'm a little nervous about my first marathon this Sunday. This movie has helped keep me excited.
