loved it. my hero was chris, terry's son. sitting in that car alone after everyone bailed. chris washed the clothes, overcoming his shyness called the media, washed terry's clothes, changed terry's clothes and socks, got the food, prepared the food and special drinks, played nurse and confidant, put terry to bed, woke him up, encouraged him, hugged him, warned him to get medical care, AND CHRIS baked in their old auto with no air conditioning in 105 degree weather to support his father, a marathoner. i have run over 25 marathons. i believe anyone can run a marathon in 8 hours. i do not know many people who can make the commitment to sit in a hot car for for a marathoner for 75 days;relative or not.

This film brought back many emotional memories for me and touched my heart. This story deals with an average American family where the mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It shows the emotional pain that every family member had to deal with to come to terms with the dire situation. I can't fathom the pain and suffering that the main character, Terry Hitchcock, went thru while making a statement by running 75 marathons in 75 days after the death of his wife. This film should be viewed by all families. We need to be reminded that this life is very brief in the overall plan of our Lord and Savior. We do not know what tomorrow will bring or if tomorrow will come, but we do know our souls will live on in the eternal life. Mr Hitchcock appeared to be a very spiritual man and displayed this in the movie. He made us realize the brevity of this life and that we still have the opportunity to use it wisely before our final destination.EXCELLENT Movie.

I saw My RUN at the Austin Film Festival. The film shows the courage and strength of one man on a mission. We follow Terry Hitchcock on his journey -- a journey that starts with tragedy but builds optimism and hope as it unfolds. The film's director, Tim VandeSteeg, has created an engaging film. The quality of the film-making, including the clever use of newspaper clippings, archived video mastering, and flow of the story, is top notch as VandeSteeg blends a mix of traditional film-making arts with contemporary digital technology. The producers have put together a great film and I hope to see it in my local theater or on DVD soon. Billy Bob Thornton is a great narrator. Check it out...

My Run has everything! and Something for everyone. Whether you're a runner or struggling just to get to the gym, it doesn't matter. This movie is about the frailties and strengths of simply being human and wanting to do something that's greater than you are. If it's goal is inspiration it succeeds! If it's goal is helping forge connections between people, it succeeds! I'd recommend it to anyone. It's an incredibly well balanced representation of what it means to strive to leave a positive impact on the world.This is the story of a man, who after a tragic loss committed himself to raising awareness to the trials and tribulations of single parents everywhere, in an astonishing way. By pushing his own emotional, physical, and psychological limits and running the equivalent of a marathon (26 miles) every day for 75 days consecutively! Truly this is an inspiring story!
