OTA 4th Grade Teacher Molly Lewis joined 10,000 runners in Carlsbad today attempting to complete either the full or half marathon course. Ms. Lewis chose the full course (of course): 26.2 miles!

A marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards), that is usually run as a road race.
The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon (the namesake of the race) to Athens. — Via Wikipedia
