Did you see Spirit of the Marathon II last night in theaters?
I did, and I couldn’t have been more excited! One of my BRF’s (Kelli) agreed to accompany me for dinner and a movie and we had a great time!
Our original plan was to eat at McAlister's for dinner – you know I never pass up the opportunity for McAlisters sweet tea! After discovering that O’Charleys was running a special for FREE PIE Wednesdays, we quickly changed our minds. Free Pie, I’m so there! (It was delicious and worth every bite, too.)
I had a laugh when we parked at the movie theater, there were several cars around with 13.1 or 26.2 stickers on their windows…we knew we were in great company!
We were able to sit with several running group friends in the theater – it did feel kind of odd to see them in “normal” clothing! :0) My local theater was rather empty, I was sad to see just a handful of people sitting down when we walked in.
What were my thoughts of the movie? I loved it! I got chills when the Rome Marathon began, I cried when Julie discussed her father and qualifying for Boston, my heart broke for some as their ultimate goals were not met, and I cheered with the first timers (and everyone) who crossed the finish line.
Spirit of the Marathon II showcased running at its finest. This movie inspired me, lifted me up, and I became even more excited about my next running journey.
(Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the movie was Jeff Galloway in his runDisney hat! LOVED it!) :0)
