Can we see more movies about back of the packers?

            A colleague told me about this new movie on YouTube about running called Life in a Day .
While I love, love, love watching all movies about running, I am getting a bit tired of watching ONLY movies about elites. Not to downplay the accomplishments of these runners, running 100 miles in under 18 hours is quite impressive, but so is running 100 miles in 30 hours. I get it, it's human nature, and also very American to want to focus on the mostest, yet, I believe all stories about running as equally inspiring.... If you have any suggestions of films that focus mostly on the mid to back of the packers, please comment below. If I find any, I will post as well. 




Now here (below) is a movie I have watched at least twice and bawled my eyes out. Just something about following one person's journey and seeing them reach their goal that makes me get all emotional.  

Best running movie EVER!!!

    Just saw the BEST running movie ever on Netflix. It's a South Korean movie. The description reads: Based on the true story of Bae Hyeong-jin of South Korea, this film follows austistic Cho-Won, who dreams of running a marathon. With support from his mother and coach, his dream becomes a reality. Trailer below:

Terry Fox touches my life....

                           I was on Netflix looking for a movie.....I first thought I wanted to watch a horror, but the minute I saw the images on the covers I knew I could not handle them anymore. Ever since my daughter's birth I can no longer down horror movies. Next, I perused romance....nah! then the Terry Fox movie, Into the Wind, caught my eye. Boy, am I happy to learn about this amazing young man.....If you have not seen this movie, please do yourself a favor. Your heart will thank you, watch it!!! I trust that if I only surround myself with people who amaze and inspire me I might get a tiny bit of them rubbing off on me. 

I noticed his birthday falls on my birthday....what an honor.
