Easy am run around Sugar House. Long run tomorrow - hopefully.

Going to see McFarland USA at 12:45 with Abby and Andy if anyone wants to join us.

PM: Walked 3 miles.

Went to McFarland USA with Abby and Andy. Really good life in general movie, mediocre running movie. Fat runner and runners with linebacker type builds winning state championships. Are there no skinny actors out there? None of the cross country meets in the movie had the feel or atmosphere of real cross country. Also, with the exception of the McFarland coach, all the coaches in the movie were jerks and racists. As we all know, cross country coaches are the salt of the earth, the best of God's creation.

The movie was about a lot more than cross country though and those parts were excellent. Thouroughly enjoyed it as did the kids.

I'm a skinny actor.. Everyday I go out to run I tell myself I'm not 44.. I can still run fast.

Enjoyed your film critique by the way. Just showed my boys the trailer and they are all in to go see it now.
