Here's a funny article I found on Runner's world written by Mark Remy which have something to do about 1 of my favourite movie and running. I'm so glad that it only happens in US.(http://dailyviews.runnersworld.com/2008/07/run-forrest-run.html)

Here's a quick litmus test to determine whether someone is a runner: Shout "Run, Forrest, run!" and see how he reacts.

If he cringes, shudders, or rolls his eyes (or all of the above), he's a runner.

Anybody reading this surely knows why—because, as runners, we hear some genius screaming this at us at least once a month. More, if Forrest Gump has been on cable recently.

I mention this today because today is, presumably, the 14th anniversary of the first time this particular witticism was ever used on a runner in the act of running. I say "presumably" because yesterday, July 6, was the 14th anniversary of Forrest Gump's theatrical release. And I think it's safe to assume that it took the nation's teenagers (they always seem to be teenagers, don't they?) about a day after seeing the movie to notice someone out for a run, remember the movie line, and use this particular zinger.

It was funny the first time.

Smart-aleck comments from bystanders are nothing new, of course, and they're hardly limited to "Run, Forrest, run!" I imagine that Pheidippides, during his legendary run from the Battle of Marathon to Athens, must have encountered at least one goat-herder along the way who mocked the shortness of his running toga, or a chariot driver who chucked an empty wine jug at him, or something.

Still, Pheidippides soldiered on. So did Forrest Gump. And so do we.

So, on this 14th anniversay...

To Tom Hanks, director Robert Zemeckis, and writer Winston Groom: Thanks. Thanks a lot.

To the nation's teenagers: Come on. "Run, Forrest, run"? You're better than that.

And to that goat-herder who mocked Pheidippides: Up yours!
