Thank you for taking the time to follow my progress as I continue to train for the 2010 Athens Marathon. This year's 26 mile run marks the 2500th anniversary of the Greek Battle of Marathon, which took place during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The marathon will commemorate the legendary journey of the Greek messenger "Pheidippides" in 490 BC from the Marathon Battlefield to the city of Athens, Greece.
Please check back as I continue to update my blog!

Congratulations John - hope your training is going well. What a fabulous opportunity to participate in the celebration of such an historic event.
ReplyDeleteI will be there with you on the course, Col. Skinner! If you like, I will write "Baltimore" on the back of my safety vest so that you will see you're not alone out there.
