Day 168 Marathon

Ladies Crossing

The name Marathon comes from the legend of Pheidippides, a Greek messenger. The legend states that he was sent from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon (in which he had just fought),which took place in August or September, 490 BC.

It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming "Νενικήκαμεν" (Nenikékamen, 'We have won.') before collapsing and dying.

Day 83

When I was young I remember running over open fields with bomb craters, over grown now from the war.  A field that was covered in brown hills of the most perfect loam in the region was a playground for me to jump onto the soft mole deposits.  It seems that in China they have a different form of fun with moles.
