Courtney's Movie Marathon Challenge

By Courtney Judd on June 2, 2012

Summer is the time to get fit and have fun.  I recently decided to start training for the Utah Marathon in Salt Lake City, which will be held Saturday October 13, 2012.  As I have been running this week I remembered a neat idea I came across a few years ago while searching the Web.  The idea was a literal movie marathon–You run a mile and then watch a movie for every mile until eventually you run 26 miles and watch 26 movies.  Obviously this cannot be completed in one day, but it is a creative way to have a good time while staying active!  I have compiled my own list of 26 of my favorite movies.  Grab your boyfriend, your best friend, or if you are desperate your imaginary friend and either use my list or compile your own.  In no particular order here it goes…

1. Tommy Boy

2. Two Weeks Notice

3. 27 Dresses

4. Where the Heart Is

5. Carolina

6. The Lizzie McGuire Movie

7. Legally Blonde

8. Mannequin

9. Teen Witch

10. Pay It Forward

11. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

12. What About Bob?

13. Miss Congeniality

14. Dan in Real Life

15. Newsies

16. Little Secrets

17. Raising Helen

18. The Blind Side

19.The Secret Garden

20. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

21. Bruce Almighty

22. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

23. The Help

24. Step Up

25. Finding Neverland

26. Deja Vu

Enjoy!  If you come up with your own list/if you do this activity tell me about it–I’d love to hear what you come up with and how it goes!
