My apology - I had mistyped the date on my first post and had corrected it. The show will be on tonight.

I watched, and loved it! First of all, who watches a marathon and looks for WISH shirts? I watched the San Jose Rock n Roll Marathon the other day, and I kept looking for lime green WISH shirts!

I really enjoyed them explaining the science of running(V02 max was esp. interesting, as I've never really understood it).

I do wish they would of spent more time on it, maybe over several programs to show the extent of the challenges & joys they went through.

All in all, I liked it!

I watched it last night and have to agree with what Stacey said above. I liked the science parts, but I would have liked to see more of the human/emotional side of the story. There just really wasn't time since it was only an hour show. And I guess, as DH pointed out to me, NOVA is a science show.
