Run For Your Life

I just finished watching the film, Run For Your Life, about Fred Lebow, the creator and long-time director of the NYC Marathon. Not only is the film full of familiar running faces and interesting stories about the creation of the marathon and its many runners, it also tells Lebow's personal story of coming to America for a better life. Lebow's achievements in the running world are not measured by the money he made but by his passion for the sport and the success of the NYC Marathon. It is a wonderful story and it made me want to run the NY marathon!
