We have a big group from our local running club riding up to Atlanta to watch the movie (how die hard is that??? after 8 or 9 hours of work, we're driving an hour to watch a movie?!!!?!?)
Great pics!
Great pics!
The movie is supposed to be near me and I'm going to try to check it out.
Cool pics.
Thanks Looks pretty cool have to see where in the area.
Ooooooooo I want to see it!
Dude your pics rock!! Are you going to get any?
The Runner's Lounge Iowa people are meeting up to see this movie. Should be a really fun evening.
You look great in the pics, Tig. Fun to put a face/body with the guy/blog. :D And those race photos are not easy to look good in (well for me anyway).
Your pictures are awesome!
gotta check this movie out - thanks for the hint.

I think our tri club is going to the showing here
Great pictures of you at the RnR, Eric!
Thanks for the info about this film. It sounds great. I doubt it will be in Maine anytime soon, so I hope it comes out on DVD in the future.
The movie is showing in our town on the 24th. We're thinking of going to see it.
Great pics of the race!
Great pics!
Are you going to the movie? Lisa and I have a hot date :P
Ohh I've wanted to see that! Highly doubt it's coming to Yuma though...
Great pictures - you look like a runner ;)
I love how almost everyone in that one pic has their arms in the air. LOL!
The movie sounds cool. I doubt it will come here. Nothing ever comes here. :-(
That movie is playing here soon, for one day. We are tempted to go.
Oh, Mendy already covered that.
Well...great pics! Oh, Jess and the others got that one.
Um, nice haircut? Yeah, nice haircut!
I have my tickets for "Spirit...". I am dragging my father with me because he wants to run a half next January.
You probably don't want to follow my training plan for your first full. Well, my plan wasn't bad I just didn't stick to it. I never ran over 16 miles and it was 2 months before my actual race. I guess I am living proof that running a marathon is mind over body.
Guess seeing the encore isn't in the cards for me, either.
I don't know why it says Redding is only 96 miles from here. It is actually 150 miles and it takes about three hours to get there on a clear day. But right now the mountain pass we'd have to use is getting hit hard by snow. No thanks.
