Tyson made an inspiring point:
"I think they should give a half marathon a different name. It makes it seem like you went half way and stopped. It's a distance of race like any other, and an impressive accomplishment. Good job!"
Historians may know that the marathon was named for a Greek town and a famous messenger:

I was curious to see if there were any town 13.1 miles from my doorstep. So if anyone has a message to deliver to Padua, give me a shout. And meanwhile I'll ponder whether to run a double Padua later this year.
