Marathon
The modern Athens Marathon commemorates the run of the soldier Pheidippides from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C., bringing news of a Greek victory over the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message "Niki!" ("victory"), then collapsed and died, thereby setting a precedent for dramatic conclusions to the marathon.
Today, marathons have become a running tradition throughout the world. Yet the annual Marathon at Athens, where it all began, has a tradition and an appeal like no other. In 1996, the 100th anniversary of the modern Athens Marathon, more than 3,000 runners from every part of the world gathered to run in the footsteps of Pheidippides.

Losing WeightLosing Weight
Rather than "going on a diet", think of it as a whole lifestyle change with losing weight being part of the result. A lifestyle you can happily continue once at goal weight. Exercise is crucial -- not only for weight loss -- but for general health. It doesn't have to be going to a gym -- try to find something you enjoy -- gardening, rambling. Only a small amount of extra activity can make a tremendous difference.
