Not sure if the movie will be available on DVD. I'd love to see it end up on HBO or PBS.

Oh man, I would love to meet Jeff Galloway. I was totally addicted to his first book on running when I first started in the sport and I'm always seeking his advice on the web whenever I have a question. He always seems to be ahead of the curve in terms of training innovation. I wonder if the film is going to be available on DVD?
