Set your TiVOs, DVRs or VCRs for October 30th!

How do you run 26.2 miles if you have trouble making it around the block? With good coach*ing, discipline, and lots of group support, as NOVA shows when it follows 13 generally sedentary people through a training regimen designed to prepare them for an ultimate test of stamina and endurance. Created in cooperation with the Boston Athletic Association®, which granted NOVA unprec*edented access to the 111th Boston Marathon®, and Tufts University, "Marathon Challenge" takes viewers on a unique adventure inside the human body, tracking the physiological changes that exercise can bring about.More information at the NOVA webpage (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/marathon/about.html)

Looks like it will be a very interesting program.

Okay, I feel like a big goofball but that made me cry. It was very well done.

I didn't hit "goofball" status :) but I found myself getting a little emotional watching the participants cross the finish line!

I didn't see the show, but I've been reading blog reports about it, and there were a lot of reported tears when watching the end.
