Watching "Spirit of the Marathon" via streaming Netflix, and loving it.  Feeling very inspired despite being sick and injured. 

It's a documentary about several people training for the Chicago Marathon (in '08 I think).  Elites, regular folks - and all their reasons for running.  Also, history of the marathon.

Highly recommend for people who like this sort of thing.
Read my blog, BARIATHLETE   I run because I can.

This is a great movie. I bought it two years ago after seeing it an IMAX theatre. The overhead shot of the starting line of runners at the beginning of the race really picks up the spirit.
