"Sometimes the moments that challenge us the most, define us."
- Deena Kastor - opening line of the movie Spirit of the Marathon

"Training for a marathon is a challenge in and of itself, and the recent weather conditions have made for a particularly rough start to this marathon training season. If you're searching for some inspiration to help get you through the challenge of preparing for your fall races, set aside some time in your day and watch the Spirit of the Marathon movie (below from HULU) and here. If you've never seen it before, Spirit of the Marathon is an award winning documentary that follows several marathoners through their training for, and competition in, the 2005 Chicago Marathon. You can't possibly watch this movie and not get jacked up about what you're doing! If you watch it once, you'll probably watch it several times between now and race day."
-Coach George Buckheit, CAR Newsletter, 7/13/2010
