I'm not a big fan of watching a TV or going to movies.I just can't sit still for 2 hours straight. But... self-isolation and working from home since March hit us as everyone else and we incorporated watching movies into our monthly routine... Try something different they say, so we did. Here are GO TO list of movies about running, inspirational stories and lots of history. Watch and enjoy!
Race (2016) - about Jesse Owens
Breaking 2 Nike (2017) - you know what' that about!
Prefontaine (1997)
