Zac took part in the Athens Classic Marathon today and did a fantastic job! The marathon retraces Pheidippides 40 kilometer run in 490 BC from the battlefield near Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon. Unfortunately, after Pheidippides announced the victory in Athens he collapsed and died on the spot. Zac had a great run (26 miles!!) on his first ever marathon and Julie, Rob and myself enjoyed cheering him on.
