When this blog is inevitably made into a film, Gemma Hayes “Ran for Miles” will be the song that’s played over the dramatic montage trailer.
I’d like to be played by Charlene McKenna. We’ve the same colouring and I think she has the potential to be an international star. I’d imagine she’s slightly shorter than I, but we can over look that. The Scot will be played by Kyle Howard, charming and endearing. The story of course will centre on my struggle to the finish line, battling obstacles along the way. Of course, there will be conflict. I imagine it would read something like this:
“Mon Marathon et Moi” is a charming tale of love, courage and self-discovery. Based on actual events, the film follows Cassie (McKenna), a wide eyed and witty journalism student, with big dreams and an even bigger mouth. Cassie meets a handsome and endearing Scottish man (Howard). The Scot is a committed and successful sportsman. Cassie, stubborn and ignorant, underestimates the skill and agility of the athlete and enters into a deal with The Scot to run the Paris Marathon.
As the challenge progress’s, so too does the relationship between Cassie and The Scot. Cassie learns not only how to run, but also self-discipline and commitment. The seemingly opposed worlds of the sporty scot and the juvenile journalist become intricately intertwined. Love and friendship blossoms, but struggles continue to build.
As the long distance relationship with The Scot proves to be too much, Cassie is faced with the decision to run the marathon, a phenomenal distance, alone. As obstacles mount, it is uncertain whether the forlorn Cassie has the motivation and ability to succeed. The Marathon becomes more than just a distance, but rather a journey from inexperienced student to a disciplined young woman.
McKenna is superb in the role, perfectly replicating the enchantment and sincerity of a young Cassie Delaney (now a highly successful and renowned author and publisher). Likewise Howard is handsome, captivating and positively irresistible.
A must see for all those who believe in strength, love and the human potential for greatness.
