I just had to share the below conversation with one of my co-workers (Rich)
Rich: So you and Christine are running 26 miles
Carrie: Correction, 13.1 miles. We are only doing the half.
Rich: Thats good. Did you know that the first marathon runner in history died after finishing the 26 mile run.
Carrie: No Rich, I didn't know that.
...The conversation continued with Rich explaining when the first marathon was and the history behind it. Apparently it was during ancient Grecian times.
