Then We Ran

Then We Ran shows how lives can change when ordinary people commit themselves to exceed the expectations they have for themselves and that others have for them. A bond to run a marathon each month for a year joins two runners, an older man and a younger woman, as they strive to rebuild their lives. With one caring for a husband with early-onset Alzheimer’s and the other smarting from a failed marriage and mired in the complacency of retirement, they recapture the passion in their lives and discover the importance of love and friendship.
