Seinfeld and Jean Paul, the Marathon Runner

— Posted in Hardlopen by

Okay, technically not a movie, but episode 5 ('The Hot Tub') of Seinfeld, Season 7. The episode revolves around Elaine's friend Jean Paul, a marathon runner from Trinidad who has previously missed his chance to compete in the Olympic marathon because his alarm clock didn't work properly. (No, it was not the snooze...) This time he has come to New York to run the famous 26.2 Miles.

To make sure he doesn't oversleep this time, Jerry offers his couch to Jean Paul to sleep on and he promises to wake him up in time. Kramer's hot tub ruins that plan however. Be sure to watch this episode!
