That's the Spirit!

"Once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always."
Margery Williams

Yesterday was another pretty cool day. First my super sister-in-law (J), my brother, uber hubby and I went for a short 3K run together. What fun!
Oh and guess who got a running skirt :)
My partner in crime. J and I will be running our first half-marathon together in May, along with uber hubby.
We then got together for a nice dinner before watching a very special movie (can you guess?)
Hint...it's about running
Of course, you guessed it...we all watched Spirit of the Marathon together. What an inspiring movie...makes you want to get out there and run right now! What a fun day once again...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Cheers!

I LOVE that running skirt. I keep saying that I need to get one, but I haven't yet!

I'm not a movie fan, but I just might have to pick up that movie....

Cute skirt!

Spirit of the Marathon is such an inspiring movie. I'd better watch it again before I attempt the Chicago Marathon this year!

Hi Anne,
Who is that super skinny hottie wearing the cute running skirt? It looks like you had a nice time...great pictures:)

I love the Spirit of the Marathon!! I couldn't help crying as I saw so many people crossing the finish line:) That is going to be us some day....after we master the half we are moving up to the full!! What do you think? Are you in?

Have a wonderful week Anne!

Meg said...

That is my favorite running movie, it is so motivating! I love your running skirt! I went to the shop near our house and they are getting some crazy skirts this Friday with polka dots, flowers, etc. I held off buying one until they arrive, I take pictures! By the way, your dinner looked so nice!

You are lucky to have such nice people to run with. Running movies always motivates me.

LOVE the skirt! I am addicted to running skirts, and I always feel like I run faster when I'm wearing a skirt versus wearing shorts. Wonder why that is.... Have a great week training!

misszippy said...

Love the movie and the skirt. I think you'll find you may not want to go back to shorts after you get used to it!

teacherwoman said...

Sounds like a great time! I still want to watch that movie!

Amy said...

Great pics - you guys always look like you're having a ball together!

Sarah said...

Love the new skirt! I want one too. :)

I watched a running movie this weekend too, Run Fatboy Run. Not inspirational, but it is funny!

Heather said...

Yay for a new skirt! I love Spirit of the Marathon . . . I like to watch it when I'm riding my bike on the trainer. Then I can pretend I am Deena Kastor. :)

Diana said...

Cute outfit! I think I need to watch Spirit of the Marathon before my race on Sunday!!

The Laminator said...

That's such a great movie. I think I've watched it twice...and probably will watch it a couple more times since I'm running Chicago for the first time this year.

BTW, thanks for your comment on my post. I agree that taking a step back and enjoying running will be important for me going forward.

Beth said...

Cute running skirt! I love that movie... I should watch it again.
