Run for Your Life: “Back in the '60s, the New York Road Runners Club was just a small group of men who ran on the streets of the Bronx. It took one eccentric first-generation Jewish immigrant from Transylvania to turn the NYRR into the largest organization of its kind in the world. Fred Lebow (the erstwhile Fischl Lebowitz) brought the runners to Central Park, where the first New York City Marathon was held in 1970. By the next year New York had two-thirds more runners than the Boston Marathon. Filmmaker Judd Ehrlich takes an affectionate look at a New York hero who inspired runners worldwide to go the distance.”






The New York Road Runners Club should change it's name to The New York Sidewalk Runners club. Rarely do I ever see a runner in the street.
It's interesting that when an actor or an actress get to a higher level they become less believable in a role. Take Meryl Streep as an example. When one see's her either on stage or in film, she is seen as Meryl Streep first and then the character she portrays.
