It is very important to learn about history from now, cause it tell us a lot of how ancient people used to live, and the origin of many things of diary use. In this case, it tell us about the origin of the marathon, something that isn't from other world and we have ever heard of, do you think so? I don't want to be a nerd or a party pooper, but it is up to you how you want to learn and, maybe, you could became famous for a simple thing like this.
