We Interrupt This Beer To Bring You....

...a note about running. Hold on, get back here...don't go anywhere. This won't hurt, I promise. I'm going to the movies tomorrow night to see Spirit Of The Marathon. It's been a while since I've written about my running escapades; it is winter after all. Darkness, cold, and Hibernation Ale have a way of cajoling me into slower motion. But, tomorrow night, I'm going to head with some marathon-nutty friends and Patty to see this truly inspirational-looking feature length documentary about amateurs and two professional runners in the 2005 Chicago Marathon. It's showing for one night only across the country. Chances are it's playing in a theater near you. If you watch the trailer, I think you'll agree that if you enjoy stories about the human spirit, athletic competition, and the fight to accomplish great things, you will enjoy this movie without ever having run 26.2 yards, let alone miles. We may now resume this beer...
