21 March 2008 - Good Friday Runner Email

SPRING! About time, eh? The grass may still be brown, but at least we can finally see it!

Celebration! Cinema has come on board as a sponsor of the Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon.

And, here's the first cool thing about that: There's a new running movie in town--Run Fat Boy Run.
A chunky, clueless guy leaves his pregnant fiancée on their wedding day only to discover -- 5 years later-- that she is his one true love. But in order to win back her heart, he looks to finish his first marathon while making her realize her new man is the wrong guy for her.

PG-13http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425413/

Now, for those of you here in the Grand Rapids area, Celebration! is giving 5 pairs of movie passes for this show. They will go to the first five people to email me--and I'll post the names in the blog that you can find on our website and you'll be able to pick tup the tickets at Celebration! Cinema North.

Caveat: If you recognize your training methods in the movie, you might want to rethink that just a bit. But you have until October to whip yourself into shape.

GOOD FRIDAY IN HISTORY--It was Friday the 13th, 2001 that my buddy Shawn and I put on the Frogger 5.5K race at the Hair of the Frog Brewery.
If you want to read the whole sordid story, http://www.cooladventures.net/Frogger/frogger%20story.htm

Anyone else going to run in Olathe Kansas next weekend?

So, that's what I know for now. Have a Good Friday everybody.

and the adventure continues....
