Marathons are long-distance running races of over 26 miles and are great exercise!
Wow! thats cool! Ive been actually training for a marathon recently, DO you know if a marathon is on a flat road or are there any hills?
I think they are generally flat, but the event was made to commemorate the run of Pheidippides, a Greek soldier who relayed the victory of the Battle of Marathon to Athens.
Oh ok, I just hope it wont be too hard, I can only run so much up a hill lol. What kinda age limit is there for a marathon i any?
There aren't any age limits. In fact of the more than 800 marathons held in the world each year, the majority of competitors are recreational athletes.
Wow over 800!!? thats wild. Do you know what the world record is for running in a marathon? Im sure people have broken that 26 mile limit.
I'm not sure what the world record is but the marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events which dates back to 1896.

It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming ("nenikēkamen", "we have won!"), before collapsing and dying. The account of the run from Marathon to Athens first appears in Plutarch's "On the Glory of Athens" in the 1st century AD, which quotes from Heraclides Ponticus's lost work, giving the runner's name as either Thersipus of Erchius or Eucles.

Tomato
The tomato is the edible, often red, berry of the plant "Solanum lycopersicum", commonly known as a tomato plant. The species originated in western South America and Central America. The Nahuatl (Aztec language) word "tomatl" gave rise to the Spanish word "tomate", from which the English word "tomato" derived. Its domestication and use as a cultivated food may have originated with the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The Aztecs used tomatoes in their cooking at the time of the Spanish conquest

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies

Classical economics
Classical economics or classical political economy is a school of thought in economics that flourished, primarily in Britain, in the late 18th and early-to-mid 19th century. Its main thinkers are held to be Adam Smith, Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Robert Malthus, and John Stuart Mill. These economists produced a theory of market economies as largely self-regulating systems, governed by natural laws of production and exchange (famously captured by Adam Smith's metaphor of the invisible hand).
