After 17 hours of traveling we finally arrived in Athens...exhausted. Athens is 7 hours ahead, so we are now trying to get our bodies to adjust to the time change. I woke up at 4:30 am this morning wide awake. At 6:30 am, I ran with a group of runners from the hotel. The training run was lead by Jeff Galloway, an elite marathoner who has won both New York and Boston in the past. Surprisingly, I felt good.
Today, we travel to the City of Marathon. The site of the famous battle were Greece defeated the Persian army in 490 BC. Along the way we will drive the marathon route, so I will get my first look at Sunday's course.
