Excerpt
If someone said to you, 26 miles, what comes to mind? A trip to Grandma's? A leisurely drive in the country? Maybe--a MARATHON? I cringe at the thought of running 2 miles, let alone 26. Yet 26 miles of long stretches of seemingly never-ending road, some steep, others not so steep are what's required in order to finish the famous Boston Marathon. On Monday, April 17, 1978, 7000 people lined up at the starting line in the center of Boston to begin a 26 mile race of physical as well as mental endurance. My father, Steve Regopoulos, was one of 7000 eager, anxious, and nervous competitors to line up.
