WIKI: Marathon

I know, I know...

By looking at my past titles, you don't think Marathon fits in with my media theme.

But it does.

I swear.

It involves a great message and one crazy method of delivery.

And yes, you guessed it - quite a large amount of running....

 

It all started in 490 BC.

You know that time, after the T-Rex's, before Christ...

 

 

Back then, there was this guy named Pheidippides.

I know, unfortunate name. His mother must not of liked him.

 

Anyways, Pheidippides was a greek messanger.

He was sent to announce the Persian's defeat from the battlefield of Marathon.

He ran the whole way without stopping!

 

 

But... then he died. That sucks.

 

Aren't you glad we have iPhones now for this kind of information?
