I liked Spirit of the Marathon, although I didn’t like that they focused on only the two ends of the participation spectrum: elites (Deena Kastor and Daniel Njenga) and a few middle-to-back-of-the-pack and/or charity runners. I wished they’d included at least one competitive non-elite to get the whole picture of who runs marathons.
I momentarily connected with a stranger today in the skin care aisle of CVS as we both sang along with “Come On Eileen”. 16 hours ago
With the death of celebrity we can also hope for the death of name-dropping. 2 days ago
One of my neighbors blithely filled up the glass and metals bin with cardboard and I can't decide if I want to kill… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…2 days ago
Thanks for the laugh. Probably the deep-seeded reason why I don’t ever run on treadmill…
Its fun!.

Surely not the last thing.

@Julie, totally agree.

I Liked SOM too. They did have a guy who was trying for a BQ, but he dropped out with a knee injury. Pity.
I think that guy dropped out because, as a hoot, he put the treadmill on 12mph and ran on it for the camera.
I share Julie’s view on SOM. I would like to have seen someone below the elite level but still pretty fast, such as someone going for a OT qualifier.
I thought you would have been more adept at treadmill running by now 😉
Very clever – spot-on with the movement and sound effects.
